(Price goes down 10 dollars if you do an open-jaw SYR-LAX SFO-SYR)

Dates: July 8-July 21

Pretty terrible though, because the first 2.5 hours is in a MD-90 with no TV, lie flat, and pretty much terrible flight. Then the 767 is only for 4 hours, less "fun per mile".

This is not NYC, but as someone who usually takes a bus to NYC then flies out of JFK, shockingly cheap. Someone could, shockingly, do the reverse!

Greyhound for 50 RT from NYC-SYR, plus this flight. You get trancon for $925.

But again, unless you're trying to do first class as frugally crazy as I would, this wouldn't be the best option for anyone.
