I need a car, or a plane ticket

I just need a way home. I moved down here in the first week of January. I haven't been home since. My problem is we live 12 hours away from home and not only do I not have a new car yet but I also am not willing to pay $450 for a plane ticket. It's ridiculous. I just miss my family, why does it have to be so expensive to see them?

    Jet Blue doesn't fly to Albany and Southwest is the same price as everywhere else.

    You have to get creative with the search when you're looking for a cheap flight. like...fly some place cheap on jet blue, and then fly whatever goes into albany for cheap. it takes work, but its worth it

    I did get creative and found a cheaper flight but then realized I would have to take the truck to Raleigh and I just don't want to do that. I wish I could just get a new car and drive home. It would be cheaper and I could take my dog. This sucks.

    I am so sorry, I know how you feel being here when my family are in London , in the end my parents bought me and the baby a plane ticket for next month because I had enough with creatively searching for flights that I could afford. I hope it works out for you and you get home soon, just think, when you do finally make it, it will be amazing!

    I feel you on this subject. I havent seen my family in 14 months. They are in Boston and Im in Tampa. I have 2 kids...so it's road trip alone with 2 kids for 24 hours so pay for 3 plane tickets and deal with 2 kids on the plane. Both options are out. :(

    I am so sorry, My husbands family will sometimes help us with our tickets if he is super home sick for Washington (we are in Virginia). We pay them back monthly, as we can after, if that a possibility for you? Good luck and keep your chin up!

    Yea but at this point I would rather just focus on getting a new car. I would rather drive home so that I can take my dog with me.

    If I drive it's 36hrs+ straight... or a 4.5hr non-stop plane flight... I have 2 guinea pigs, and plane flights are crazy expensive. Haven't been home for 9mo now.

    I hope you find a way home =)

    It's such a pain right? There should be some help from the government or something that gives us some help so we can get home every now and then.
