I'll be traveling from New Orleans to Atlanta in early December and I've found some reasonably priced flights, but I'm wondering what other options are out there.

This may not be what your looking for, but here's a trick not many people know---do this only if your flexible!!!
Airlines will price 'special fare sales' in advance, when those sell-the 'reasonably priced fares' and '$$$$$ fares' start selling. IT'S NOT ALWAYS CHEAPER TO BUY IN ADVANCE.
Think about this..... In December, granted there will be a lot of travel happening for the holidays, however early December comes right after late November (bear with me here, i promise to make sense...) Many people will be traveling in late Nov for Turkey Day, it follows that the following weeks MAY have less travelers and it will pick back up again during XMas. Airlines don't like the lulls and they will typically offer lower fares to entice people to fly, they don't like flying half-empty planes!!
Keep in mind, travel on Saturday is cheaper then Sunday. If your making a 3-day weekend of it, it's typically cheaper to fly out Saturday and return on Monday (less departures on Saturday routes). If your really flexible with your days, go to travelocity and search for fare sales. You can do this one of two ways:
1. Use the option for +/- 3 days
2. Use the option for "flexible dates" this will pull up a calendar that shows the lowest current fares and what dates they are available.
Again these change all the time!!
I can't tell you how many times I got to say "I told you so" to friends or family who said "gotta buy the tickets now prices are high!"
Anyways, it's a game and you should really only play it if your flexible. It's typically going to cost you the same or less if you buy your ticket 3 months in advance or 3 wks.
For all the doubters, last minute fare to DCA for travel tomorrow cost me $190, I paid for that 2 hours ago. Last week it was $320. Again, lots of things factor into this and I should mention that I always depart from Chicago (ORD) there are many many routes to almost every destination, so if AA is $$$$ I switch to UA and save.
OK I really feel myself rambling, but it just kills me to see people spend soooo much on airfare!! Anyways, for whatever it's worth-I hope this helps!!!

Nashville already has the triple-A sounds and NO hosts the Zephyrs, yet another triple-A crew, so I doubt both city will structure an MLB franchise. Nor do i imagine both city might want to help one economically. for sure Katrina diminished the disposable earnings of the traditional New Orleans resident, and Nashville's NHL franchise, the Predators, has threatened relocation in accordance with low attendance.

Easiest is flying... If you're not in a rush to get there, take a greyhound and save some $ for the holiday season...

Tell your chauffeur, "Jeeves, take me to Atlanta".
