Me, the g/f, and g/f's brother ("starving students") are trying to get to Bend, Oregon for a wedding July 3rd, at 4:30 pm. Airfares to RDM are expensive (availability doesn't seem to be a problem despite the weekend - it just seems the published airfares are high). Renting a car is not an option.

Flying into PDX is cheaper but it looks like the shuttle service to Bend arrives too late (6 pm) to make the wedding.

Are there any discount codes/companion fares/other offers I should know about? I have the miles if need be but would rather not burn them for such a short hop!

Thanks for any help!

Edited to add: we're based in SAN but can stay for free in the Bay Area if overnighting on the way to Oregon would save money!
