SF Bay to PHX on short notice
 

Trying to book last minute tickets to PHX this week. Anytime between tomorrow and Saturday. Any tips or recommendations? Cheapest I've found is 360 for direcct :(

You could take a look at Priceline.com.

They don't have the bidding anymore but they still have "Express Deals". I wasn't sure of your return, so assumed you'd stay about a week. I could see $260, although there will be some fees added on.

But carefully check all the conditions - time of day, stop or non-stop, etc. I haven't used this option personally.

You won't have a choice of airline or time of day.

Do you need one way or r/t? Do you have any AA miles? Plenty of availability for 12.5K one way. This would be a decent redemption,especially if u have elite status and u don't have to pay the $75 fee.

If that availability is on nonstop flights, then BA Avios would be better than AAdvantage miles: just 7,500 Avios each way, and no close-in award-booking fee, regardless of one's status -- or lack thereof.

You could try hidden city ticketing, works out $220 return 13-19 April or $110 one way

In case the OP hasn't heard of this hidden city source: SkipLagged.com

Read the details/warnings on the site for obvious tips (e.g., don't check luggage!).
