plane tickets and room rates in reno
« on: December 01, 2010, 08:40:01 AM »
Anyone been checking on prices yet? As of right know the best price I can find is 170 more than I paid last year for the same week and same hotel.

Southwest offers free changes... even for the same flight.  I got a Sat 4-30 flight from MKE to LAS for $128, flight from LAS to RNO on 5-3 for $75, from RNO to LAS on 5-5 for $75, and a flight from LAS to MKE on 5-6 for $119.

 

I checked every day and booked when I thought the fare was acceptable.  Then I kept checking and grabbed every single price-down that I could find.

 

Even after you book on Southwest, check fares every single day.  Fares are lower during mid-week.

Check flying in to other cities. We have 4 of us going in late April. Dulles to San Francisco Round Trip for $254. SF is about 3.5 drive to Reno but for an $800 savings, I will drive it.

Just checked Southwest.  The best I can find today is $400 roundtrip from BWI, and $440 from Dulles. 


Expedia has Dulles for $440 (United), BWI for $430 (Delta), and Reagan for $440 (Continental).

 

Those are for May 1-7.

^^ I'm doing the same thing.. Flying to San Fran and driving. It's not a bad drive, and we plan on taking a short tour before we depart to Reno.  Just keep an eye on the weather cause Donner Pass can still get occasional snow into April/May.

We paid roughly $475 per person round trip, flying southwest with one stop each way from the north east.
