Ok here is the deal...my boss was nice enough to give me 4 days off in a row towards the end of april....I have a wingman going to sousa for 7 days around the same time. What to do ....flights from tampa to POP were running about $480 and it had some bad flight times getting in late , leaving early (making the trip about only 2.5 days of fun) since there is really only one flight out of miami to POP ...sure I tried everything going out of orlando , driving to miami all the flights were running near the 500 mark and for a 4 day thing just didnt make a good value trip. So I call my wingman and tell him, sosua is a no go for me (he is pissed but understands the price and time thing) i had been looking at san jose flight from tampa, orlando and miami ....tampa around 280 , orlando about the same miami 205 ...miami drive sucks to save a few bucks but since this a short trip miami was out of the question.... This am I get on line and its time to buy.....I pull up the site and everything is 380 with bad times (long layovers or late flights) I am really thinking 'just screw it" ...I do all my tricks , looking at every site ...putting in different times checking for a day early ....all over about $100(from the first price I seen 2 days before) then out of nowhere when I go back to try a different time ....bamb ...280 with great time ..'ONLY ONE SEAT LEFT AT THIS TIME" it was like someone had been watching me ...saying if we dont give this guy a out he going to say screw it !!! I know its not that way ...but it seemed like it was a set up .... |

What airline and out of what airport? Do you ever drive from Tampa to Ft. Lauderdale for the Spirit flight or is the drive too long? |

According to 1 Website I checked it's 234 miles from Tampa to Ft, Lauderdale--don't know what the roads are like but figure 3-4 hours driving. |

It is not the worst drive in the world. 4 hours or so, all Interstate driving. Just depends on time of day. Naples is BRUTAL early morning and late afternoon with heavy construction on I-75. But Alligator Alley is a speedway. Pop onto 595 and straight to FLL. All that said, 4 hours of driving certainly has a price tag for me! $100 each way AT LEAST. |

Forget going thru Naples, the construction between Northport and Naples will set you back 2 hours during the day. Aligator alley is full of FHP's so there goes the 90-100 mph run to FLL. I take 75 south to SR70 then strait across to 710 then southeast to I95 in West Palm. 3 hours no problem. Count on the extra hour from WPB to FLL. if not in rush hour traffic. I95 is still a bitch in Palm Beach. Early morning drive is best, 4 A.M. To me it's still better to fly out of TIA for the extra $100. Just think of the parking fee's at MIA. Sorry jazzboCR, I meant for this reply for Tstef527.

Orlando - SanJose I just checked this a couple days ago (for a possible trip next weekend) and the price from MCO to SJO was $179 each way, PLUS TAXES.  Two weeks ago, it was only $69 each way.

Then FLL to SJO. Try it. I often see that one too, I just don't like the 3+ hr. layover on the return leg. PURA VIDA! |
