Air fare....

[Cobia]

Cobia  have you looked at San Antonio ?  I know there would be a couple hour drive.  Southwest for around $400 . 
I normally go out of Austin most of the time less than $ 400.

No I haven't tried SA. (just got back from there...went hog hunting)

The first time I went out to Reno I left from Austin and it was $99 each way (10 yrs. ago) LOL

Have you look at Sacramento ?  I normally  can get $ 131 each way out of Austin. Short drive over Donner Pass.  But winter time can be a problem. There was snow on the ground yesterday. They said it snowed Sunday and Monday.  It would be ok to get snowed in at the Mustatng but would hate to  be stuck in Sacramento and not be able to get over the pass.  So winter time I go into Reno.

LOL....if I got snowed in over in Sacramento that would be a good thing.  I have a "friend" there...sheeee don't tell anyone .  I would like to spend an entire week there.

I'll be back in Reno at New Years - I hope I do get snowed in - gives me an excuse to stay longer    

By the way, I booked United Airlines directly (90 days in advance) and I got a flight from an airport just outside Chicago (connecting 2 regional flights) for less than $400.00.   I have done this many times before, and it works out great.   Sometimes I get a better deal through the airlines than other sites.    I usually have an hour layover in Denver, but still arrive in Reno around 1pm - ready to party all night long.

You might also try "lastminutetravel.com" if you don't mind red-eye flights...

Ok thanks , I will try lastminutetravel......  shoot I will try just about anywhere.

It has always been high priced out of here and now there are only a couple different flights out too and with Anerican you never know if you are going to make it the same day or not.

Wildfire already mentioned this, but Southwest from San Antonio to Reno and back can be done for $380 round trip plus taxes etc.  You just need to go to their web page book the flights, and then start switching the dates around.  As of right now, 10:20 on Oct 31, if you leave Nov 12 and return Nov 19, you can get those prices

You have to go to their web page: http://www.southwest.com and book it there, but they often have really good prices if you book two to three to four weeks in advance.

Cobia, ask this guy if he will drive you there. http://xfinity.comcast.net/video/Atlanta-driver-wins-Cannonball-Run/59127875520/Comcast/TopVideos/

[Mitch Connor]

Houston - Hobby airport might be an option also.

........no thanks Caveman....sort of been there done that.  I saw that on tv last night.

  My last day in the army some clown was taking me to the airport in Nashville and he was running 100 and I told him if he would just let me out I would walk.

Thanks Mitch.

I want to know what the guy did with the bed pans. Did he dump them out the window or did they just dump on to the road automaticlly. I wouldn't want to be the guy following him. You would be slipping & sliding all over the place. That would give new meaning to When The sh*t hits the fan. Like when a airplane drops it's load.

Cobia, where the hell do you live? Alaska? I just tried Houston to Reno in about a month from now, using Dec 4 to Dec 8 as theoretical departure and arrival, and it ranged from $372 to $490 U.S. return, economy class.



On Priceline.com it was $1565.00.......can I float a loan ...?

I tried for March 10-15 out of Corpus Christi Texas to Reno.

cobia, if you are willing to drive 10 hours, one way, to go hunting why won't you drive 8 hours to catch a cheaper plane?

......I don't know.  I hate crowds and air ports.

(BTW I just walked in the door from a 4 day hunt and got skunked...missed a good 1 this morning)
