Need some advice from the PROS
 

Hello All,
I am in need of some advice from all you travel gurus. My situation is thus: I recently relocated to los angeles, my fiance is currently completing her masters degree in akron oh. She suddenly found that she will be free the weekend of the 21st of april until the 24th. Since we have not seen each other in over 2 months we'd like to take advantage. If anyone could give me advice on how to go about finding a cheap fare from cleveland to LA i would be extremely grateful.
Thank You

try www.itn.net

you might also want to visit newport beach travel's website (http://www.nbtravel.com)..

the site is reliable and allows you easy ways to build a multi-segment flight for mileage or open jaw purposes.

always keep your web-ears open, however, for the occasional "special" (i know, y'all have only a short notice before this particular trip).

Speed:

AmericaWest is showing a fare of $282rt(tax included) 7day advance for this itinerary:
4/21 664 Dep CLE 438p Arr PHX 558p
2035 Dep PHX 655p Arr LAX 825p
4/24 2173 Dep LAX 101a Arr PHX 1123a
232 Dep PHX 1154a Arr DTW 637p
3158 Dep DTW 735p Arr CLE 822p
Probably won't last long though.

You can also get a ticket from CLE-ORD(Chicago Ohare) for $99+tax from Continental on 4/24:

CO 1905 Dep CLE 409p Arr ORD 438p

and connect with an American Airlines webfare to SNA(Orange County) for $189:

AA 1095 Dep ORD 700p Arr SNA 921p

Return 4/24:

AA 1524 Dep SNA 745a Arr ORD 130p

CO 478 Dep ORD 443p Arr CLE 654p

Good luck,
Jerry

Newport Beach Travel's site is ITN wearing a different bikini.

She can drive to CMH (Columbus, OH, about 2 hour drive) and then fly to LAX on United or Northwest for $168 + tax R/T but you can't leave on the 21st or 24th -- if she can leave early 22nd and return early 25th.

Good luck.

Check out the fare out of LAS instead. Usually, you will save lots of $. Then, buy a separate LAX-LAS ticket. You can even try the following:

buy a one way LAX-LAS, then, a LAS-CLE-LAX-LAS, and just throw away the final coupon.
