So I have a spot reserved in a master's program in Seattle.

I haven't been to Seattle since 1991. I'd like to make sure I can stand living in the place for 2-4 years after living in the wonderful confines of SWMO for my entire life.

Driving is out of the question, so I need to fly the friendly skies.

The catch is my reserved spot gets much less reserved if I fail to score highly on the math section of the GRE. I'm sitting at about the 30th percentile and the program stresses I need to get at or above 50th.

Given that I failed every year of HS math and dodged hard classes in college, it's not a sure thing I score that on my third attempt at the test at the end of April. Also, plane tickets on short notice aren't cheap so the alternative is ordering tickets now for the beginning of May.

TL;DR: What can I do to get cheap tickets, or at least a ticket that can get some value back on a refund if I cancel with enough notice?

Not claiming it's fact....just something I've heard.
