October 18, 201213 yr Who did you book your flight through? Any recommendations for the cheapest way to fly? Orbitz? Priceline? Thanks...
October 18, 201213 yr I am booking thru trip advisor. The cheapest I've seen yet for my dates. 249!!!
October 18, 201213 yr I used spirit airlines......ultra cheap airline 150 from dallas to san diego and back and that included upgrade to what they call the big front seats.......they do have alot of charges for bags if u need to take lots of bags.
October 18, 201213 yr Thanks etexask. I think Imma look up flights from Houston to San Diego n see what they're looking like.
October 18, 201213 yr Author Mimi I'm flying Houston to San Diego. I want a non stop flight. I'm looking now at all my options
October 18, 201213 yr Girl I wanted non stop too. But having a lil layover makes a big difference on the price n I don't mind sight seeing n Phoenix during my layover. Lol. Never been there so it's a win win situation. =)
October 19, 201213 yr I'm having to look at flights from Columbus, Ohio to San Diego...UGH! Having trouble finding the appropriate flights to get me there at the set times for my surgery admission/discharge. How the heck do people get anywhere at the times they're supposed to?? I think I'll probably end up having to pay two extra hotel days...bummer!
October 19, 201213 yr If you have Southwest, they are a great deal. I think you have to book through them, though - not Priceline or another discount airline. The price from Minneapolis is about $270 vs $1000 for other airlines!
October 19, 201213 yr Author You got a round trip ticket for that? Or a one way? That is a good deal!
October 19, 201213 yr I didn't actually purchase it since I haven't scheduled my surgery. I was just checking prices. That is ROUND TRIP! Southwest also has free checked bags and great service.
October 19, 201213 yr i had to call united airline themselves to book a flight cause i was having a hard time finding times and they booked the three seats wrong :/ it was 1500 for three seats from new orleans to san diago but is still cheaper than having it done in the usa!
October 19, 201213 yr I knew I wanted to fly Jetblue so I just watched the price via yapta and bing but purchased directly through Jetblue.com I love that I chose my own seats . I am not a huge flyer but I have heard of other airlines where you cant chose your own seat or you can at a cost and some airlines charge for luggage.
October 20, 201213 yr Mine are 400$ round trip Burlington (Vermont) to San Diego. That's booked directly with United, and booking Economy Plus on the flight home. I checked the prices on Farecompare.com first and then usually book directly with the airlines. My parents had some really bad experience when they booked through Expedia once, one of their flights got cancelled and they got stuck at Newark airport, and Expedia would not help them, and the airline would not either because they hadn't booked directly through the airline. Anyways, for my flights I connect in Newark on the way there, and Chicago on the way home. If I had the choice I'd book Virgin America because they're just a lovely airline, but they're not convenient for a San Diego flight.
