I have always loved Kayak. And after my latest ticket purchase, I love it even more now!
So, as I am prone to do, I am on Kayak checking out dates and fares for the early part of next year. I live 25 minutes from the Sacramento airport, so that is my preference if possible. But if not, San Francisco is 2.5 hours away and many more options, as well as being easier on my cc. Sometimes the fare difference might amount to as much as $350 dollars, so even if having to buy a ticket for both Amtrak and BART, which takes me straight to the airport, it's still a big savings for me.
But this time I couldn't believe it when I saw it, so I pulled the trigger for my next DR trip, March 9-18, 2017.
Will be flying down on Aeromexico, 1 stop each way in Mexico City, for a grand total of $309. I even added trip insurance, which I never do, for $20 bucks. So, $329 all in to the DR from the Left Coast! I feel like one of you New York dudes who have always been able to fly down for a song. Well.....guess who's crooning a tune now?
Arrive in SDQ at 7:25 am on a Friday, so I'll taxi over to the Metro and bus it up to the north coast. I'll head back for a couple nights in Boca at the end of the week, and depart at 11 am, a pretty convenient time, on that Saturday.
Kayak was showing a 47% discount on the regular fare price, so don't know if this was some scheduled discount sale or what. But, whatever the case, I am booked and have my seat for a March return.
I'll have enough jack left over in my pockets when I hit town to make it rain in Classicos if I wanted. But......nawwwww.
Maybe just make it fog up a bit around my table!
