Airlines use a complex method to set the prices for flight segments and it's fairly common to see the longer journey costing less than the shorter, even if the shorter journey is part of the longer. Many times this is done to help ensure they do not sell so many seats on the shorter journey that they have to turn away folks for the longer trip. In other words, they would rather sell the ticket to someone travelling from San Diego-Hawaii than someone travelling from LA-Hawaii even if the San Diego passenger has to go through LA on their way. This could be because the overall demand for San Diego-Hawaii is much higher, or because there is a competitor airline flying the same route and the airline wants to draw business away from the competitor. For what it's worth, if you buy the ticket from San Diego and try to skip the San Diego-LA portion, they will count you as a no-show and cancel your entire ticket. But if you miss on the way back, and get off the plane in LA and don't continue on, this is just fine as long as you don't expect any kind of refund, and as long as you don't make it a habit.

Most of the internet websites are not charging booking fees currently. I always use kayak.com as a first reference point, then if there's a booking fee, move direct to the airline website to book/buy the ticket. David Rowell http://www.thetravelinsider.info

Try Jet Blue, Southwest, and TravelZoo. There have been some fantastic rates lately.

I've found that Southwest has the best prices for last minute flights.

Your best bet is to go to Sidestep.com and do a search. It searches numerous sources at once. You can also try Priceline.com, but use the name your own price and go about $100 less than the lowest price on Sidestep for a starting price. You may get lucky. The regular search on priceline, by the way, usually won't reveal anything cheaper than other mass search sites. Sidestep has been, for me, far more helpful than orbitz, expedia, travelocity, etc. It's more thorough, and usually finds better deals. Also, there are several sites that do "last minute travel" searches for weekend trips that can find sometimes cheaper flight packages. Flying midweek is always cheaper, because there's less demand. Being willing to take a red-eye flight can save you a lot of money as well. My husband saved $211 by taking a flight that went through the night. We figured, he'd be sleeping anyway, so why not save the money?

try midwest airlines from green bay to la and then take a commuter plane down from la to sd

Sometimes your friends/family might get discount rates if they are union members or are AAA members. You might check with your family to see if you can get a discount if they buy the ticket and you re-imburse them.

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. just go here: http://bookme.com/flights.php and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

Try Southwest Airlines.

If you go to www.expedia.com and put in SFO (San Francisco) and SAN (San Diego) for March 23rd, it will tell you all the airlines that fly that route, except Southwest. Then go to each airlines website (just type the name of the airline in your search engine) and check the costs there. It's better if you book through the airlines. Southwest generally has very good prices, so check them first. Finally, while you are looking, check flights from any Bay Area airport that will work for you (SFO, Oakland, San Jose (SJC). If you can use one of them, it might be cheaper. Good luck!

Your best bets would be either Southwest airlines or Virgin America airlines.
