EVA Fare

[Emil 0]

Just finished booking with travel agent R/T Sacramento to Bangkok on EVA for $678 total.  If I would have chosen to depart from SFO, fare would have been $20 less.  Fare is good for departure through the month of August, but she said the fare is going up in a few days.  Now that I have booked this trip I'm sure I'll see better deals, similiar to Pattaya when after you've paid the BF some gorgous TG appears from nowhere.

$20 more from Sacramento? Heck here in L.A. we have  LAX and Ontario Intl, and the fare difference is $300 more from Ontario vs. LAX. I say you got a great deal, considering Sacramento is at least 100 miles from SFO.

El Tib,

 

I'll never figures these airlines out.  This past February I went to the United Airlines website and looked for a fare from SFO to Bangkok.  It was around $1500, but if I flew SFO to LAX then to BKK it was around $1100 and if I flew SFO to Seattle and then to BKK it was around $800.  I then decided to check what it was from Sacramento to BKK thinking I  might get the $800 fare because I thought they would route me Sacramento to Seattle then to BKK.  I was shocked when the fare was a little over $600 and it was Sacramento to SFO to Bangkok.  So by flying 90 miles to SFO instead of driving I saved $900.

I agree! Airlines never cease to amaze me... in hunting around for my trip in November, I found $1100 fares with Delta/Korean out of CVG and SDF, which are both under 100 miles from me, but my home airport LEX has the fare for $850 on United for LEX-ORD-NRT-BKK... lot of connections, but worth it for saving $250, parking, and an hour's drive IMO. But then again... I am a pretty cheap Charlie.  ;D
