Alright, so I've started fare searching now that my passport has come in the mail. I'm flying out from Atlanta and I'm kind of amazed at how many flights require a layover or multiple stops. One flight would have me go to SEATTLE before dropping me in San Diego (Although I love Seattle, I don't really want a 12 hour flight the day before surgery!). Does anyone have any advice for finding a better way to get to San Diego?

I'd prefer to fly Delta, but only because I have skymiles and I'm an (brand loyal) Atlantan. However, I'm also cool with flying someone else. Or maybe someone's aunt has is a travel agent and can help out?

Another thing that worries me is that the earliest flight from ATL puts me in SAN around 10-11am, and my email from the OCC said I had to arrive no later than 9. Do you think that I need to fly in the night before?

I paid $459 for coming out of Greenville sc to atl then to San Diego. So not to bad plus I upgraded to economy comfort. I got to hustle in atl 45imin between flights.

When do you leave?

March 28 surgery the 29th

Alma, coordinator for Dr Garcia, said I had to be San Diego by noon for same day surgery. I think I get in at 10-something and am getting sleeved the same day.

Now, I'll be there the same time as you!

I have to take a red eye too! When is your flight/surgery?! Mine is April 8th and my red eye is 4/12

I'm hoofing it back to ATL on 4/4-4/5...sigh

I did get the economy comfort, though - and I'm hoping to upgrade to first if there are seats available for the flight home.
