I think I am just going to take the flights that get in later and try SDC to the earlier flights.
Thanks for the suggestion about MKE. Ill look into it.

I think you have July 6, wrong. If July 4th was on a Sunday, Monday would be a holiday. If it falls on a Saturday, it is celebrated that day or possibly on the Friday, July 3 (at least that is the date that Federal Employees will have off).

Yes you are correct about the 3rd for the Federal holiday. I work in manufacturing and I just know a few companies are closed on the 6th also. It could go either way...none the less it is a not-so-cheap week to travel

Why on earth make any concessions at all? You can fly the dates and times you want on UA and save $300.

I have been debating that myself lately. Obviously delta is not all that into me as a frequent flyer. If I take the later flight it would only be a 50 dollar differences between delta and united when you consider waived baggage fees. July may be the time for my own independence day.

As someone who worked for a company in MSN for 9 years (until April 2014) you are spot on.
I think some of the flights I was on were almost all people going to EPIC training.

MSP is as well. Most of the places I fly to cost a pretty penny when going direct. examples are MSP to OMA, BIS, FAR, MSN, PDX, and GFK. UA and AA Connections via CHicago make a cheaper flight but a 1HR flight turns into 5-6 hours total.

As for the Original post decide if Customer Service and Comfort out weighs cost.
