I booked direct flights for a weekend trip to the Bay area right before the April 8th eclipse. Because I live within the path of totalitly, the flights at the airline website were ~$650 one-way for the return trip alone. At the time, I had not figured out the mark-up from the anticipated eclipse-related tourism, so I just booked the outgoing flight and convinced myself I could find a better price for the return flight. I found slightly better pricing through other booking websites later that day, even if I had to settle for a connecting flight with a different airline. Then I ran into Kiwi.com and it listed the same one-way itinerary I originally saw at my preferred airline website priced at $257! I got my confirmation shortly after booking and my record locator number (2 separate e-mails) within 24 hours. I had a hassle-free trip a month later.
