And if you happen to come into the city...

We were looking to go to Florida to see my family. For the same weekend, it is $330 a ticket for us to go to Tampa, but $230 a ticket for them to come to Boston. I bought my mom a ticket to come here instead. It would've been $1000 in tickets, plus $60 for a rental car and $75 in parking for us to go there, and they are in the middle of nowhere and my dad makes no time to see us. We will just skype with them on Christmas (we aren't a particularly close family).

DH is going to Turkey. Sat-Sun. $800 non-stop from LAX. Booked in Sept.

We haven't bought our tix to Pittsburgh for Christmas yet, but I suspect they'll be about $400 each.

we are planning on a day trip! I wish we could get a hotel in the city for a night but I think SO's mom would be crushed. we do only visit once a year and things have been so smooth lately, so I'm sucking it up. lol.

These ticket prices are good deals! We are going from OC to San Francisco and it is $323 for both of us + free baby.

That's not a bad price. We just drive to the Bay Area. With getting to the airport, dealing with luggage, flight delays I think the drive is easier and sometimes faster.

Going from SNA to Detroit - about $350. But I'm going on the 15th - Christmas tickets were $600+ last time I checked. We'll be OOT regardless, but seriously, fuck that noise. We're doing alternative Christmas from now on.

I bought this week. Two of us LAX to Ord (Chicago) dec 20-27 was $1050, but my mil is paying for half. God love her.

[dapotato]

lax to montego bay. $593 each for mh and me. my mom, brother, and sil paid way more (close to $1k each) when they bought their tickets months ago.

[mellie35]

2 tickets for Christmas. LAX to NJ - $304 each for the two of us. We booked a few weeks ago and were thrilled with $300.

Sfo ---> Jax 900 ish for two of us.

[FrozenSunshine]

Tickets home to Alaska were too expensive since we moved 1/2 way across the country. I was stoked however one of my BFF's from my wedding month board invited DH and I to her house just a couple of hours away! (Gas between Chicago and Milwaukee will be a gazillion times cheaper than tickets to Alaska)

Tampa to BWI for Tgiving. 1100 for three of us.

[cricketwife]

1800 for two of us. Charlotte to gatwick

[sratsey]

We're going to Orlando from NY over Christmas. I believe our tickets were just over $400/each
We could have gone for about $100 ea/ less if we were willing to drive to JFK, but I wanted to fly out of the smaller (and closer) airport

[Pilsy]

Reading this makes me so grateful we are within driving distance of our families.

3 tickets DCA to PHX nonstop $1979.

[morningmania]

Christmas,
MSP to LAS $392 for two of us, that was with 1 companion fair though so it would have been almost double without that.

[jr009j]

Thanksgiving-Omaha to DC $500 for 2. We halved our ticket price by coming home Monday instead of Sunday.

[jene]

Thanksgiving-MSP-STL $275 for me. DH is still working in STL, so no ticket needed for him

[magdala9]

$259 each from Boston to Baltimore (round trip) for Thanksgiving week to see the in-laws. Christmas is local with my half of the family.

We don't travel for Thanksgiving on principle, but for Christmas we got really screwed flying to Orlando (from Detroit). Tickets have been outrageous for months. I ended up booking 2 roundtrip non-stop flights for $350 for one + $100 using my Delta companion ticket.

4 tickets from Austin to DCA, DCA to Orlando, Orlando to Austin. About $3000. But the Orlando thing is a surprise trip to Disney for the kids for Christmas and also a fun vacation for all of us, so I am considering part of the cost as gift and vacation expenses rather than holiday travel expenses.
