'google flight'

LINK

It gives you pretty flexible options on your searches. It's the easiest I've found to search for a variety of flights/days.

Download the SkyScanner app for your smartphone.

I find it cheaper then Kayak at times.

It's not cheap to fly to the Pac NW. So the earlier you book the flight the cheaper it will be.

HH, you can use just about any site to check flights, but at the end of the day, I would just book the flights direct with whatever airline you decide to go with. In my expierence it's just easier in the event you have to make changes or what not.

I'm pretty inexperienced at this. Good sites to check flights?


Southwest has their anniversary sale sometime in June. I find their ticket prices to be the cheapest during this sale.

We both want to go see the Pacific Northwest. Maybe some place in Washington or Oregon



Can't go wrong with Seattle. If you like nature, you've got Olympic, Mt. Rainier and N. Cascades National Parks right there. Also, Victoria and Vancouver are quick side trips.

For August:

Colorado (have done this many an August)
Seattle area (spend some time in the Cascades or Olympic range, August is the perfect time)
Monterey Bay
Glacier National Park (get reservations ASAP)
