 Post subject: flights!!!! OMG
PostPosted: Thu Jun 07, 2007 4:12 pm 
Ok, I just came back from a trip, bought 2 tickets for wingman and me online, and they were less than $300 each, on an awesome TACA flight...


Now I'm looking for TACA back, and I can't find anything even remotely reasonable. $900???? WTF?

I also saw one for 10000, and one for 5000.... Are those planes filled with chicas I can phuk?

Cause even then, I'm not paying 5k for a flight to SJO...


I want to see if I can do 2 separate 1 day tours of CR between now and Aug. In addition to my 1 week "family" trip, where mongering will be limited...


Anyone got any ideas for dates?

New York,

there's a TACA flight that would get me there at 9:30 and doesn't leave till 6:30pm...

so that leaves me a min of 6 hrs at ZB... That would be 600 for the flight, 200 for the room, and 120 - 200 for the chicas...

so, for less than $1000, I could have Awesome times, and all for the price of 1 high priced hour here in NY...

That's at the high end. If I can get the flight for 300, that's all savings...

I find if i fly in the middle of the week (tues, wends, thurs) i pay half for the ticket. Also if you can fly delta they usually will upgrade you for $100 if available. see you in cr.

Yeah, I'm looking in the middle of the week, the problem is that I HAVE to take either Continental, or TACA or the short trip doesn't make sense...

Going on American or Delta turns it into an 8 hour trip, with possible interruptions...

CO & TACA are 5 hrs. direct. TACA has the convenient one to spend all day there though, so I would lean towards taking TACA...

QBF, am I understanding correctly you are making an 8 hour trip to CR? I love the idea but why not just stay overnight and run like hell for 24 hours?

I doubt you will find a flight on Taca (or any other airline) with the same arrival and departure date for cheap.

BTW, you are willing to pay $200 to use a room for 6 hours? :?

Willing is such a strong word...

But with that $20/session discount... I just have to have enough sessions to make it worth it ;)


I'm guessing that 3 double sessions is the break even point...

Of course, if I can get my friend C to come through on her promise of letting me visit and session at her apartment, that $200 goes out the window if I'm just going down for a day...


I was actually hoping to get 2 TACA flights, and loop them around each other...

Get 2 1 day trips between now and the end of the summer, in addition to my week in July and long weekend in Aug.

After August, I think I'll have a real hard time getting down again before the end of the year, but I'll find a way (I hope)...

8 hour trip? What a concept. I thought i was hooked. You beat me by a football field in a 100 yard dash! 1000 $ for an hour? Does that come with a shoeshine?
