Booking Flights
We know that many of you will need to make flight reservations in order to celebrate with us and wanted to provide some helpful hints for booking flights!
Temecula, CA is a beautiful destination that is pretty much halfway between the Orange County (Santa Ana) Ariport and the San Diego International Airport. If you have to fly, that means you have two options of where to fly into and stay.
One of the most cost-efficient airlines to travel with is Southwest. They offer competitive rates (even for one-way ticketing if you'd like to depart and return from different cities) and great flexibility, as tickets can be rescheduled with no change fee (you pay only the difference in fares with no extra penalty fee). Also, your first two checked bags are free! Visit them at Southwest.com
Don't like not knowing where you will be sitting? Consider flying to San Diego through Virgin America! Justin and I have loved our travels with Virgin and they're pretty competitive like Southwest, and sometimes may even be cheaper or at least the same price. While we prefer to travel via Virgin, it is good to note that fares are not as flexible as Southwest. The charge to change flights will typically exceed $75. So if you find you want to go with them, make sure you're 100% dedicated to your flight dates. Visit them at VirginAmerica.com
- Airport experts at CheapAir.com analyzed more than 560-million flights from last year to figure out how far in advance consumers should book tickets to get the cheapest fare. The answer: seven weeks before takeoff.
- On average, fares bottomed out 49 days (7 weeks) before the flight, then increased slightly, but remained steady until about a month out. After that, prices climbed as the travel date approached.
- For international flights, the lowest prices came 11 to 12 weeks in advance.
- As for peak travel periods like Thanksgiving, the best time to buy was almost 14 weeks out.
There are many travel sites listed below that make tracking flight prices easier or allow you to compare prices and then book flights, hotels, and cars if necessary.
