My family and I are planning to go to the Super Bowl in SFO next February if the Eagles qualify. This is three people from MDT, one from ABE, and me, from LAS.

So far I've booked my nephew ABE-PHL-PHX-MRY for 6K miles, and myself LAS-PHX-MRY for 9.5. As soon as my brother gives me his info I will book 3 more PHL-PHX-MRY, for 8.5K each. Not only that but the flights are at fairly convenient times - nephew leaves ABE at 11:15AM, meets brother and family in PHL and they leave 1:43PM, connect PHX where I meet them and we get to MRY at 6:43PM.

Haven't booked the returns yet, and of course coming eastbound is always annoying, but everybody understands that there have to be a few sacrifices for a Super Bowl trip. Obviously it's a pricey trip but it's better when you can keep down the cost of travel. (My brother's thing are hotel points, so I'm letting him worry about that.)
