Best idea for a flight now?

[HornInWville]

I've looked around on a few sites, from all major airports in Texas to all airports in LA and surrounding areas. I have a flight, but need one for someone else that just found out they can go.

Thoughts?

1. San Diego is about a 2-hour drive
2. Las Vegas is about a 4-hour drive

If you're in Austin, there are $137 Southwest flights into Phoenix (via the SWA web site) on the last flight on 1/6, or the first flight on 1/7. Book it before seats on that flight get more expensive.

It's a 5 hour and 45 minute drive from the Phoenix airport to the Rose Bowl, but you'll need a rental car in the LA area anyway.

The flight on 1/7 is at 8 a.m. and is scheduled to arrive in Phoenix at 9:40 a.m. Because you gain an hour on the trip to LA, you would be at the Rose Bowl by around 3:00 p.m.

There's a $137 flight from Phoenix to Austin on 1/9, leaving at 9:55 a.m. You could drive back to Phoenix on 1/8 and then catch that flight on Saturday morning.

If someone is desperate for a cheap flight and doesn't mind driving, that's a cheap way to go.

There are still $90 o/w DFW-SNA flights on United, and $120 flights on US Airways. Either would get you there before noon on the 7th.

From Austin, There is also a $162 o/w AUS-LAX flight that stops at IAH and San Diego, arrives at 11:18 am on the 7th.
Or Frontier, $182, AUS-SNA thru Denver, arrives 9:51 am on the 7th.

From San Antonio, there are multiple US Airways options on the morning of the 7th to SNA, thru Phoenix, $121 o/w.
Or Delta, also $121 to SNA, thru Salt Lake.

If you are in the Killeen area, you can go Killeen-DFW-SNA on the morning of the 7th for $217 o/w.

Not sure I would want a flight with a stop in Denver on the day of the game. Last time I had a stop in Denver for Cali bowl game I ended up sleeping in the Denver Airport for 3 days bc of a blizzard.

Oh please don't say that. I am stopping in Denver on the way....

Same here DFW > DEN > SNA for 10:30 landing day of game...um, rolling risky yet it adds to the allure!?

Just posted this on the "Ticket prices dropping" thread, but my wife and I are staying at Excalibur in Las Vegas from 1/4 to 1/8, have round trip flights from Dallas to Vegas and an SUV from Avis (unlimited mileage) for the week for $853. Can't wait! Vegas is only 4 hours away and an easy drive (all highway).
