I flew to Seattle via Alaska the weekend before last.
You want to book at least two weeks in advance for the best price.
Get your boarding pass printed from your computer at home before leaving for the
airport. The rest is a breeze, even from LAX. I had two carry-ons, my small roll
case and an open-back banjo to pluck on whilst I waited for the plane.
To the So Cal folks, 300+ bones is a lot to pay to see a surf band. I don't care
if it's Slacktone, that's purdy high. You could buy all the SP rare recordings
on Ebay for that price. You could buy a guitar for that price and learn all
their songs. And if the SP's reformation is a success, I'm guessing they will
end up down here before long. The Surfcoasters made it from Japan...Hey Ferenc,
you ol' scene-maker you....

Ran,
The prices you found are better than the ones I found for Portland. That
may be because I'm flying out of John Wayne. It's cheaper to fly out of
LAX, but it's a pain for all parties involved.
Hopefully someone here will know something better. I haven't booked my
flight yet either, but probably should.
