Arrowhead was crap when I was there, that side doesn't give enough snow.

Seems odd. More likely The airline lowered the price to get to Vancouver to compete with other airlines that may offer direct flights there. The ski resort Whistler, one of the best in the world, is near Vancouver.

Yeah that's weird. Vancouver is a top ski location on its own when you go up to Whistler.

Speaking of which, Park City is nice but I would save the 80 bucks and go to Vancouver if I were you.

Went skiing with my cousin in Salt Lake a few years ago. My uncle told me how to do this very thing back then because we got some very cheap tickets this way but never paid mc much attention to it. He said he had been doing it for a while.

Probably should have paid more attention to it back then.

For those worried about being forced to check luggage.


Oh ya you're right I'm an idiot. Every one carry on.

False. If you board to late and OH space is taken...it's being checked to your final.

This. Maybe go to the airline site once you book and pay the 10 bucks or whatever for priority boarding

They usually pink tag but they've checked it before. I didn't feel like arguing.

They only gate valet (pink tag) on planes where OH space is smaller than what's allowed by the airline. Those are returned plane side after each segment.

On a flight where OH space can accommodate any legal sized carryon your bag is getting gate checked to its final destination to be picked up at baggage claim.

Thought this too, but had mine snagged on a return flight from Vegas with a layover in Denver.

I used to do this regularly back when travel agents did all the bookings. Book a flight to Tulsa, get off in DFW and save major $$$. Back then, airlines caught on to that, and if you no-showed that final leg, your return flights got cancelled. Idk if that is still the case.

It is. So you can only book one ways and too many of them with the same airline will result in a phone call from them.
