New Flights to/from San Diego

New Flights to/from San Diego?
I was interested in seeing what new flights people would like San Diego International Airport to incorporate into their daily/nonstop flights; personally, I'd like to see more international flights (to Asia, Oceania, and Europe), along with regional flights to San Luis Obispo, Spokane, Huntsville, and others. Which do you want to see?

I don't think San Diego has enough people flying for airlines to want to open up a route to Asia or Oceania. That might work when the Boeing 787 Dreamliner comes out. Also with LAX only about 2 hours drive away, people can just drive there since there are so many international flights out of LA. It would be nice if there were international flights to the places you mentioned. My guess would be more flights to different destinations in Mexico, Latin America or South America would be more likely.

Usually...you just have to do some searching. My favorite site is www.airfarewatchdog.com you can put in the city and find who has deals for it. Also, cheapair.com has been really useful to me as well. I would personally just drive it..but if that isn't an option, you can also try priceline.

Not really. The route is not covered by low cost operators. Only two competing companies that mostly fly turbprops with the rare regional jet covering the route. The average fare is usually double or triple that of flying San Diego to a major airport like San Fran, Oakland, Santa Anna, Phoenix, or Vegas. ---------- Southwest currently flies a 133 mile daily flight in Florida. They could take over the 125 mile flight from SAN to LAX and it would be much more efficient for the overtaxed runways in both airports and cheaper for the customers. However, the majors won't give up the little planes that shuttle back and forth at great expense simply because they want to offer San Diego passengers a connection to LAX so they can fly international. As a result it is the busiest route in the country (measured by planes per day). ====== If you want cheap, take the airport bus to the AMTRAK station. There are 11 trains per day.

It might be easier if you drive. LAX is a busy airport and the airlines that fly to San Diego out of LAX are United Express and American Eagle which both have lots of flights out of LAX. Therefore you have to get to the airport early to get through security.

Airtran currently have the cheapest non-stop flight at $309.20 for various days of travel. Best and cheapest day to depart is on a Tuesday and Wednesday. Now here is the interesting part.. if you book now and the price goes down 2-4 weeks before travel, call up Airtran and tell them " I booked my ticket when the price was $309.20; however, I looked today and the price is this price, can I be able to get the remainder amount of money refunded to me? They should then either refund you the money through the credit card, issue you a voucher either through mail or at the airport or bump you up to the next class available at little to no extra cost.

I am going to give you the only piece of advice that was given to me for finding cheap travel deals, and it works to this day... Compare as many travel websites as you can as often as you can. Since you have a few months, start searching today and search the flights every week until the month before you are going. If anything is unusually cheaper, book it on that date. I would definitely recommend checking out BookMe dot com. You can compare ALL the reputable travel sites from one location, and save tons of money. Good luck!

Do NOT give your child medicine with the hopes of it making her sleep. This is not only cruel, but dangerous as well. Make sure to pack plenty of things to entertain your child, such as a few books, toys, a portable DVD player (or a laptop) with a few movies, and one or two comfort things such as a favorite blankie or stuffed animal. My children like to bring along their own coloring books, a Doodle Pad, their Leap Pads (with a few booklets), and scrap paper so that they can make their own drawings with and play games such as tic-tac-toe. My daughter used to like to bring along a doodle bear when she was younger so that she could draw on that as well, and my son likes to bring along some action figures to play with. I found that buying a Rose Art kit from target (about $5 for the small one and $10 for the large one) is great! It has crayons, markers, coloring books, coloring sheets, and stickers that they can color. You can also play games like pat-a-cake, or I-spy, and tell stories to your child as well. If you tell a story, try to make it an interactive one where your child has a part in it so she stays interested. This is also a good time to explain things that are happening or going to happen on the plane, and ask questions, such as what do you think the weather is going to be like when we land? etc. You might also consider going to the store and letting your child pick out her own carry on bag and a few inexpensive toys that will be used only once on the plane. Be sure to pick out a few toys without her seeing so that she has an extra surprise when she opens her carry on. Don't be afraid to get up and walk the aisles with your child. This will help to break up the length of the flight and let her stretch their muscles. New regulations allow you to take beverages (including water) from home as long as they are less than 3oz, -OR- beverages (including water) of any size that you have purchased from inside the security area onto planes. You can also bring a limited amount of baby food, just add water packets of food, cheerios, goldfish, animal crackers, dried fruit, etc. with you also. http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm#10 If I can be of any more help or assistance, please feel free to contact me.
