Woo Hoo! Delta has finally opened the books for next July.
:doubleup: :doubleup:
Once we decide our exact dates, I'll book them. So far, first/business class seating doesn't seem to be a problem. :boogie:

Jacquie - so far, no one has requested air so I can't say if HAL's fares are "much better" or not. They're $719.00 + $41.30 air tax per person round trip from your gateway.
The least expensive round-trip I'm finding elsewhere (quick search) between your gateway and Seattle is $490.00 per person round trip plus taxes. Don't know if this is a "puddle-jumper" fare or not.

Judi, having been to Seattle a few times on business, these are my picks: take the Under Ground Tour, eat lunch at the Space Needle, visit Pioneer Square, go to the Seattle Aquarium, take a ferry ride to Bremerton (not Bainbridge), and rent a car and see the sights. A good place to start for info is Seattle Underground Travel .

Since the question of airline fares comes up regularly, my first step when asked by a Client to check fares for them is to go to www.kayak.com . You can specify to include fares from Priceline.com, Travelocity, Expedia, etc., etc. Then enter the airports and other pertinent flight/date information. Don't forget to check airline websites as well.
Gasoline prices are on an upward trend as well, which means there's a good chance air fares may climb as well. Since I can't read a crystal ball for the future, my suggestion - if you find a fare that you can live with, grab it.

Our best deal was on Priceline with American from Tulsa to Seattle, and Continental from Seattle to Tulsa. It was about $100 cheaper using a different airline to come home, and the afternoon American flights involved two stops. We'll be in on the 11th around 10:00 am, so hopefully we'll be able to do a bit of sightseeing that afternoon. QUACK QUACK QUACK
