Getting there - from here

[Drgonslyer]

Reno/Tahoe is someplace that does not exist for SWA; at least as far is flight cost go. From ELP to RNO is over $500 for rt, from ABQ to RNO it is almost $400 rt. So whats a body to do, I will start out driving to Ak-Chin Casino in Az. on Wednesday, the 17 of June, spend a comped night there and fly to RNO from PHO on the 18th for a little over $300 rt, direct flight from PHO, but return flight changes planes in LAS. Get back in PHO at 1800 hrs. on June 23 and will drive 8 hrs. back to ELP. But fun times and good friends are calling, I need sit in a casino, smoke, drink and not worry about the hosp. Yes they will call, but like in years passed I have been too screwed up for them to understand me. Will June 17th please hurry up.

Yeah reno isn't a cheap place to fly into unfortunately

This flights from Vegas to Reno are really cheap, maybe drive another 300 miles and fly out of Vegas

Yeah I can't believe it's $450 from Chicago if I want decent times.

Southwest doesn't fly into Reno from Dallas nonstop. We usually go American from DFW and it is almost always around $450-$500.

Yeah, but unlike Kansas City, the drinks are free. I've seen the way some of you drink, you'll make up the cost of the airfare by the 2nd day!:lol:

If mike has to drive 8 hrs to Phoenix then drive to vegas that's another 4 1/2-5 hrs driving. Then sw tkt to Reno would be 92-100 dollars each way.

I have Phoenix to Reno booked may 16 departure for 98 each way. But June is higher. Best is 127 to Reno and return is higher 157. These are non stop flights leave Phx at noon leave Reno at 335 pm. I have used these since 9/11 when sw discontinued several flights to Reno

I am considering going to Reno the 17 use comp room then go back to airport the 18 to take shuttle bus to Lake Tahoe . Have to check times for the shuttle. Also I am staying in Reno after leaving Tahoe on the 23
Good luck it seems like forever since you have made it to a meet!

The changing planes just to get to Reno/Tahoe is what's holding me back. I'm a lousy flyer.
