Wanna Get Away?

Check out the fares on Southwest Airlines today.  I don't normally do pitches for airlines, but they're having a whale of a sale right now for flights before and after Christmas.  In January my quartet will be making its 13th annual trip to Rockport, TX, and because we have to fly into Corpus Christi, air fares have always been a crapshoot.

We used to travel via American Airlines every year, and one year it cost us almost $2,200 for four round trip tickets.  We switched to Continental...one time...for lower rates but had an odyssey of delayed and canceled flights that jeopardized our ability to make the concerts in time.

A couple of years ago we switched again to Southwest.  Thanks to lower fairs, bigger airplanes on the Houston to Corpus Christi route, and NO baggage fees (which is a big deal when you have to bring a lot of stuff with you), and we've been very pleased with their pricing and performance.  Thanks to this fare sale I got the lowest priced tickets I've ever gotten in 12 previous trips - $90 each way per person (plus taxes and fees).

Our flight routing will be a little creative.  We'll actually fly from Ontario to Oakland and then on to Houston and Corpus, but we'll be saving at least half of what it would have cost any other way.

The specials are only good until midnight tonight.  As they say at Southwest:  You're now free to move about the country.
