Trip Whims

[jamesq]

Out of idle curiosity, I checked to see how much it would cost to go to San Francisco for the weekend. Turns out it would cost $800. Inclusive.

--- late edit ---

It's cheaper if I wait a month. Apparently the last minute deals aren't really deals at all.

Out of idle curiosity, I checked to see how much it would cost to go to Mississippi for 10 days... Apparently... $569 round trip flight.

You should see how much it is to come to Flint, Michigan. I've come to the conclusion that Flint lies on a Hellmouth. Therefore the price should be cheaper.

It's not cheaper after you factor in the airplanes lost to demon attacks.

Seriously though, it would be about $2000 to go to Flint this weekend.

Wow! Really! I wonder why? It's such a shit-hole. It was rated the #3 most dangerous city int he U.S. right after #1 St. Louis and #2 Detroit. Except it doesn't really have anything nice there.

I think the reason is implicit in your assertion that Flint is a shit-hole. Airlines aren't in business to entice people to go to shit-holes. They're in the business of flying people to the places they want to go. The more flights they have go to San Francisco, the cheaper it becomes.

stephtopia can attest to this. Flights from Calgary to St. John's are almost always more expensive then flights to Europe (despite being in the same country). For the most part only Newfs want to go to Newfoundland, but everyone wants to go to Europe. Newfoundland isn't even a shit-hole according to garething. I guess I'll be finding that out myself this fall when I go to their wedding.

Flint: third most dangerous city in the USA.

Come to Canuckistan, the only violence here is in the NHL.

Cheaper to buy te all yo can fly package

[(Anonymous)]

It would be cheaper to buy the all you can fly package that Air Canada was offering (think it still might be going on) its about $400 for North America but you could fly only on two days of the week. You did need to take the package for at least 2 mths.
