Budget airlines from Los Angeles to San Francisco, then from SF to Salt Lake City
We are making our first visit to the US, to the wedding of a friend on
Salt Lake City, but because I am using miles for the long hauls, we have to fly into LAX. We would like to connect quite quickly on a flight to San Francisco, spend 24 hours there, and then fly on to SLC. Searches on the internet have failed to throw up the best fares with the budget airlines. If I was asked the question about how to get cheaply around the UK or Europe, I would know exactly what to advise, so I am hoping that readers from the Western US will be able to tell us. Funds are in short supply ! Thanks Pete |

Try to look for flights to Oakland. Southwest flies from LAX to Oakland I
believe. Go to www.southwest.com and look for the fares. "J.Peasmould Gruntfuttock" wrote in message om...

One problem is that the budget airlines, like Southwest, don't list
their fares on Orbitz, Expedia, etc. DKM On 5 Jun 2004 06:14:37 -0700, (J.Peasmould Gruntfuttock) wrote: Searches on the internet have failed to throw up the best fares with the budget airlines.

Where are you flying back from? LA? Do you need to fly back there?
Southwest fly up and down the coast, but I don't think they go to SLC. You could try America West. You would probably have to go through Phoenix or Las Vegas but their fares seem to be competitive. Furthermore, if your are from outside the US they offer some "airpasses". In fact, all the major US domestic carriers offer airpasses. They tend to be aimed at long distance travellers and several short trips can sometimes be found cheaper. They try and tell you they are only available if you cross the Atlantic on their own flights but the UK government forces them to sell to anyone so long as you cross with a UK carrier. This is one of those cases where a talk with a knowledgeable travel agent could be a good idea. Since you seem to be in the UK I suggest either Trailfinders or Travel Centre. -- ***** *****The "return to" address embedded in this mail is wrong as an antispam measure.

You can get an LAX - SFO - SLC - LAX circle route for about $300 US.
If you provide dates I can find you the lowest possible for that route. If you have flexibility Oakland,San Jose,Sacramento, for example, instead of SFO, let me know.
