I am flying JetBlue, and my ticket is over $300.
Make sure you keep an eye on their sales. I think our flights to NYC were originally around $250 (2 yrs ago), but when they had a sale (like $50 off) I got a credit for the price difference.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Van Gelder. That's them.
And I see your point about comfort. Last time I took that bus was for my brother's wedding. I was 26.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
If you're near a city that Southwest flies to, keep an eye on their weekly specials. They have an email list for it. Also, it's usually cheaper to fly into Oakland than to fly into SFO. And I find it a hell of a lot less stressful. BART doesn't go directly to OAK but it's a pretty easy switch. You just buy an AirBART ticket inside the airport and hop on a shuttle that takes you to the Coliseum BART station. Then you can go anywhere BART goes. (There are also standard AC Transit buses that go from the airport to the BART station but I don't know the line numbers offhand.) OAK is a smaller airport and thus easier to get in and out of than SFO. But I'm basing this on pre-BART days at SFO. I have no idea how much easier/less stressful it is now that BART goes directly to the airport at SFO.
But the point of this whole post was just to say it's often cheaper to fly into OAK. So check it both ways.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yep. I'm flying from Midway to Oakland (on Southwest) for $245 roundtrip.
Epic, let me know about Prom night!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
The SFO-BART connection is pretty smooth - if BART is running without problems. I happened to hit it on the WRONG day and it took me longer to get home on BART than the whole airport process of getting from Boise to SFO. But, seriously, BART is a great option from either SFO or OAK.
If you want to avoid that - just give a shout out when you need a ride and there are plenty of locals who have offered personal shuttle services, including yours truly.

I saw that and even considered it for a brief moment, but I'm staying Monday night with Perkins and there's no way it would be easy for me to get to Oakland on Tuesday without extreme hassle (and the damn train ride under the Bay, nuh and uh) and inconvenience. As I said, I am all about comfort, for me and those around me. SFO is a better option for me, phobia-wise and logistically. I'm willing to pay the extra $50 to fly MSN to SFO.

Um, so I have a stupid question--what's the deal with paying for Prom? And apparently I just obtained 2 guests...
So, who all do I throw money at for this, and when and how much?
