(just fyi...my daughter in 9 yrs old, qualified herself by beating all competitors for this chance to compete at a national level chess tourney...her school is driving up to tenn from south tx...south tx like from the rio grande valley!!! seems the club/school district doesn't have enough $$ to fly them out. that's 2 days on the road. makes me very nervous!!!!! parents aren't allowed on the bus but we can follow, but i'd be the only driver, so that wouldn't be possible.) anyways, pls help!!

South Texas as in McAllen? Or Houston?
Since it looks like May 11-13, that's within 14 days departure, so I recommend you look at http://www.site59.com and http://www.lastminute.com for air+car and/or air+hotel package offers. Their deals are usually very good for last-minute travel, usually getting car or hotel together with airfare, for about the same price as if you booked last-minute airfare separately.
------- adding more info
Air alone looks like $299, cheapest option, and that's Continental nonstop flights from Houston. So that's $600 for the 2 of you just for airfare. A package offer including mid-size car from Hertz at the airport is only $610 (Site59.com).
From McAllen $708 total for 2 travelling together. It's sometimes more cost-effective to go from a close airport--even if it's a small airport. (This price also from Site59.com).

Try ebay. Alot of times when people cancel a flight they are left with a flight credit instead of a refund. Eager to get their money back or something close to it people end up selling their credit for way less than what it's worth.
Although limited in places they travel to Jetblue is one definate airline to look for credits on ebay.
