Airfare ticket to Harlingen from Houston
I bought a ticket to visit Harlingen on a short vacation. The airfare ticket to Harlingen was issued by local airlines called United Express. The ticket was issued for a flight taking off from Houston on Thursday and returning from Harlingen again a four days later Friday. The ticket dates suited me very well. The service aboard the airplane was very good and so it was worth the ticket price.Harlingen was a great place with a lot of fun sites and most of them required no entrance ticket. Unfortunately, there was no ticket available to return from Harlingen on Saturday as I wanted to change my airfare ticket and fly out of JHarlingen earlier. I tried to book a ticket from Harlingen with another airline, but none of them flew to Houston.
Visiting Harlingen with an airfare ticket for the business class
I visited Harlingen last year. I was invited to Harlingen for a short visit by one of my business partner so my costs were covered by his company. I flew with American Airlines from Chicago to Austin on a ticket for the economy class, and then they booked my ticket with Southwest Airlines from Austin to Harlingen in the first class. Even if I did not pay for the ticket, I wondered how expensive the airfare ticket to Harlingen must have been. The service aboard both airlines I used was excellent. I would love to return to Harlingen again, even if this time I am not invited and I have to pay for my plane ticket to Harlingen myself.
