Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to try to get back to SJO on the Continental deal.

By the way, if anyone knows how to get this fare please let me know. It's not as simple as putting in the dates on Continental's website and presto. It comes up higher than the advertised fare. Notice the fare states "travel any available day" so how do you know what the available days are?

I havent found those fares either. Look at the FAQ on the the clark howard site, they give you the site zuji and search options, let me know if you have any luck and do the same for you.

Tried Zuji, it's decent. But I'm getting $405 total on Continental so it's the best deal so far. I'm going to call Continental and see if they can find the better deal.


**** I called Continental and they said it is around $340 total but it's before taxes. Clark Howard's site says this at the bottom:



So add about $65 in additional taxes and it comes out to the $405 which is still a pretty darn good price. My test dates were May 2nd- May 7th and what was cool is that there were a lot of time slots available going down and returning.
