Similar fare to the LAX DL Fare, but different city pairs....MSP-LGB/FAT also available for more $....

Looks like availability is vaporizing on Saturday-Sunday out/back. But it's coming available on ITA for UA and AA.

Just looked on delta.com and got DTW-LGB for $175 rt. Clicked on flights and the price came up as $274. Did another search and got the higher pirce. This was for dates around the end of Oct. Did the fare disappear?

FAT = Fresno is the gateway to Yosemite National Park, and Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Park, some of the most beautiful place in the country. If you're going to fly there, rent a car and visit the park!

However, if you go in October or later., the best driving parts (King's Canyon and the Tioga Pass) may be closed due to weather...

No availability DTW-FAT any weekend dates (searching flexible weekend travel for Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec.)
Everything $350 or higher.

Noooooo!!!! Finally a DTW-based MR to a place I actually want to visit. Lightning shut down my hike at the base of the chains at half dome last time....been meaning to try again.

All the good LGB runs are gone too :(

UA has several weekends out 7 ish on Fri with returns on Sunday in time for work. $186-189.

Thanks OP

Thanks op. Great cpm's out of a state that is very expensive to MR on delta.

The fare fell off Matrix while I was searching but I was still able to find and purchase on The Big O. (UA, 9/28-30)

I'm so excited, have wanted to see Yosemite for years and now I get to for cheap!
