The Wedding, Getting you there...

So, still not knowing WHERE this wedding is, I can only assume that I am sending you to Jackson MS...

If so, If I ASSUME that we get you from HERE to Seattle, that takes you on Alaska air at $384 each way not including taxes, totalling apx $768 From Seattle, if I put you on Southwest, I can get you to Jackson at apx $275 each way, which was $553 with taxes... so thats $768 (no tax) + $553 = 1321 which is about $800 lower flying JUST using Alaska Air. The downside is, there is NO changing flights, you could get bumped, etc etc. because this is all web special, buy it now type of pricing. SOOOOO.....about $1400 would get you there and back. THAT way....but you'd need to take leave accordingly

Me...well, I could Go from Seattle to El Paso for 200 BUT  El Paso to Jackson would be ANOTHER 250, so thats not bueno. And I just don't see the point in going if I can't see my family. So my ticket would be about 1600+ some tax. And thats on the best case, econonmy, no change seat route...

SOOO, 3000, which is still 1 grand LOWER than just using Alaska Airlines alone?

SOOOO $3000 divided by 6 months (between now and then)....Which would mean about $250 per pay check being stashed away between NOW and then.

Don't know if that makes you feel better or just educated? I think we need alaska airline cards.  If we put fuel on it, the points should help out? maybe? but maybe not in time for the wedding. but for eventually, I guess.

Le Sigh. Just thought I'd run the numbers again. I'm tired. 11:45 here. TTYL

Love you. you're my everythuing.
