Friends in Chicago and on the East Coast, you have done a remarkably good job of visiting me,
ashleyisachild,
garish_walls,
joaniechachi,
agnoster, and all those others who don't LJ. (For my part, I'm trying harder to visit you -- I'm going to DC August 15-19!)
Thanks to our friends in the low-fare airline industry, you have even fewer excuses not to visit every few months or so.
- Southwest flies directly to SFO as of the end of August! If you buy before next Thursday, you can get a nonstop roundtrip from Chicago for $250 or less.
- Virgin America begins service next month, too. Nonstop roundtrips between JFK and SFO start at around $280. Looks like they're serving DC starting in September, too! (Go to their website and check out their snazzy mood lighting and more!)
- JetBlue never seems to be all that cheap when I'm looking up their fares, but they fly to Boston and New York non-stop from SFO, and to both of those plus DC from Oakland.
