A cruise from San Diego is totally out of our price range and for so many reasons not my idea of fun.

I’m a bit annoyed at the time frame. It was originally supposed to be an August/September wedding and they bumped it up to early April. That really only gives us two months to save/plan for going and really might be the thing that stops us from getting there too.

Those of you suggesting flying what websites would you suggest to look at for ticket pricing? It has been a decade since I’ve flown and that time it was coordinated as a gift to me.

Putting in hypothetical dates, it looks like the cheapest tickets round-trip are about $260 apiece. If you can fly there and back mid-week that will save you $$, it's more expensive to fly on a Friday, Sunday, or Monday IME (though others might have different experiences).

You can put in your dates, locations, and email and they'll send you price updates/alerts. The prices can fluctuate so much day to day. With just two people traveling, I really cannot see how flying is more expensive than driving one way b/c it is hundreds of dollars in gas, plus accommodations and meals along the way (unless you would also have to pay accommodations in San Diego and aren't staying with family/friends).
