I also tried just going from Santa Barbara to Portland is $94.

Would it be wise to book in segments since there's always delays or is do you think that would be the best avenue?

BTW, looking at this again, you're talking about the difference between $212 and $270 for a round-trip ticket, right? If $58 is going to make that big of a difference, how are you going to afford nights in all of these cities anyway?
