Hyatt Regency

It was about $400/night with all the fees tacked on, the book rate was $300.

I went up to the NE Coast and caught a sunrise up there. I was surprised at the arid climate (cactuses not palm trees) and quite the variety of geology there, but you knew that.

I love me all things Bayerische (Bavarian), sorry I wasn't there for you.

If only we had a Travel Board?????? (Chicken?)

I see why the Syrian refugees risk death to get there.

Can you keep an eye on cheap flights to Seattle around the end of June? I am keeping an eye too but I think you know more tricks than I do. We will be flying to Seattle on the 23rd of June coming back on the 31st or 1st of July. I know you found some awesome rates a couple of weeks ago but I don't think they extended that far into June. May not have much luck in the middle of summer but I will keep my fingers crossed.

They did extend into late june and july for random days as of earlier today. I just checked and now they're gone for all of june and july. Delta's had the $188 roundtrip fares, not surprised they pulled it. Right now it's $351 for your dates (fly nonstop up there on alaska, connect in LAX on the way back). I'll continue to keep an eye out

Pretty good price for summer. Was really hoping for some cheap tickets to europe with oil prices down but don't think we're going to see many this year.

Most of the time it is 1500 for round trip, about to pull the trigger on that 901 even though it is really only Thursday-Tuesday because I would lose Wednesday traveling...

You could come back that Thursday for an extra $150. Or do a stopover in KEF so that you spend a few days there on your way back?

asking me to help you would be better than commanding me. Also, hope you realize you're going for the fourth of july so it's more expensive. It's $307 and thats for the nonstops on spirit, $389 on united. If you did the 2nd-6th it's $225

According to the OT it's trashy so I've been avoiding posting allegiants flights for fear of backlash. MSY-Pitt on them is actually down to $78 roundtrip end of April and early may... April 22-25 or May 6-9

When you find a flight/price that you want via Google flights, can you afford to wait or should you be 100% ready to purchase??

Of course they did! Can you tell me how you check these flights? I checked them last night and didn't see any of the $188 flights but I may be doing it completely wrong. When I just did a search I don't see $351 flights either, they are all around $500-$600

I just check on a daily/weekly basis. If I notice something go way up I wait until the next week. If something goes down, I keep an eye on it more often to see if it goes down even further.

Now that you know they're trying to sell the flights to Seattle, you (and I) should keep an eye out for july.

But where do you check? Are you just using Google Flights? I found some under $400 or so but the return flights on almost all the lines are what bump the price up in the $500+ range. I guess July 1st is too near the 4th which is when people are going to be traveling for the long weekend. I also have to fly back in the afternoon since we get off the cruise that morning and can't get to the airport very early.
