It's Vegastown, Jake
Dec. 11th, 2015 02:15 pmIt is the stuff of myths, of cheapskate traveler legend going back decades, that Las Vegas is a strange attractor for bizarre ways to create cheap frankenflights. I knew this, in principle, but whenever I tried to leverage it, nothing magical happened.
Whelp. Today I was looking at Seattle-Vegas flights for a couple of months from now, and discovered that the very cheapest fare (and a good price too) involved a 12 hour return flight with one stop between Las Vegas and Seattle. One-stop flight; 12 hours. Really long layover? Nope. The one stop would be in Boston. Massachusetts. Well, now, that is even dumber than getting from Fresno to Seattle by way of Phoenix, I tell you what. Fortunately, the next-cheapest flight available is direct, and only costs $8 more. I don't often find any reason to say this, but in this case, I would gladly pay $8 not to go to Boston. And I like Boston.
