So, if I'm going to fly my sorry east coast self out for the Fabric Expo, where can I find plane tickets for the lowest price? I haven't flown in a bazillion years and I have no idea where to start. Gee, do I sound like a country bumkin, or what? :joker: Any suggestions?

I used to use expedia.com, but haven't been an active solo flyer for a while, lol! Lucky lady!!!

I know you live in MD - are you close to Baltimore? You can often find cheap rates from BWI to Seattle on Southwest. Check www.iflyswa.com for their rates. For other airlines I like www.expedia.com. I would imagine that a good price on a ticket for you will be around $250 or so.

With all of you fun people planning to go, I wish I could come too. Too bad people have already taken my bed in Allison's house. LOL!


OT - but Marcey I got the fabric and clothes today. Thanks so much. My DD is already wearing the sweatsuit and was wondering why you didn't make a matching one for her little sister. LOL! I love love love the hemp jersey like I knew I would, now I just have to figure out how to use black.

Mom won't be here Niri, she said you can use her room :thumbsup:

Search using expedia, but don't book with them. They add a surcharge. Go to the airlines home page and use them for booking once you find the cheapest. It will probably be southwest though, they are always cheapest. They pack you in like cattle, but they charge cattle prices.

Mars,
Southwest is definitly the best deal out of BWI. $99 each way.

Southwest looks like $94 each way. I put in Thurs. - Sun., so you might be able to manipulate days and get cheaper.

Shannon was going to try and do Thur - Sun, so maybe we could coordinate pick up at the airport. Do you have a place to stay? You are welcome here. I think Sarah has room too.

Take that back, it is actually $87.44 each way if you do the promotional fares. Once they add taxes it is 107.20.

Not online, but I've used Golden Rule Travel before and gotten a great deal, better than the internet. They're a conservative mennonite family run travel agency out of VA, but they will FedEx your tickets to you and sell to you over the phone. The phone number is (540) 788-3505.

I wish I could go!

Mooooooooooo. :joker: OK, I can swing $200ish! Whaa Hooo. I think this is do-able!

Soctt said to make sure I pack disposible clothes so that I can toss them and pack my suitcases with the goodies I buy! ROFL I love how that man not only knows me so well, but can find the humor in my obsession! :heart:

I'm going to try to do Wed- Sun but can try for Thur if that is better for everyone else in "group pick-up" LOL

Wed is fine too Shannon. I don't care either way. I wonder if Suz is doing Wed or Thurs...

I was just coming to ask when everyone is getting there... Wed or Thurs... and when leaving Sat or Sun. I was even thinking of getting a rental car, too, if I can swing that.

Wah! I wanna go!

Marcey, I went to cheaptickets.com and found the cheapest fare. Then I went to that airline's website and it was ever so slightly cheaper. Can't wait to see you! You are making me want to go to the Expo too :wah:

OK, this is funny. I've tried to search Priceline *twice* for a flight from Baltimore to Seatle. It keeps giving me flight to Lyon, France! ROFL Hmmm, maybe it's trying to tell me something. Hey, lets move this whole thing to France, OK? :joker:

Heather, I'm going crazy till you get here! I'm so excited!!!!! 12 days, right?????

~M

Seattle (2 T's) or SeaTac airport (same place just sometimes refered either way) has the airport code of SEA

That should help. I'll be in Spain for 3 months next year and we can do another get together, its close to France :p

Sarah

My MIL highly recommends JetBlue for extremely cheap airfare (but they don't feed you?!?)

I have not flown in years, but I can't wait to meet you Marcey!!!!! :heart:

:wah:
