Flight from New York to San Francisco (round trip)?
Hello everybody, I live in Italy. On Saturday I will take a flight from Rome to New York. Then I will need to arrive in San Francisco but I have not yet bought the flight's tycket. I do not know which alternative is the most affordable: 1) to buy now online the tycket; 2) to buy the tycket on Saturday, when I will be in New York, at the airport or in a travel agency. Which alternative is the best? If you suggest to buy online the tyckets, can you indicate some sites or air companies? Thanks

Neither is the "best" alternative. It wold almost certainly have been cheaper to buy the whole trip together. Failing that it would have been cheaper to have booked the onward portion in advance. At this point, it may or may not be cheaper to book now, but if you don't book now you may find that the flight you want is full.

I agree with Neil that it is better if you booked everything together. Buying tickets separately is generally more expensive. You can see how much it costs to fly on JetBlue or Virgin America. Those are the best airlines to fly across the United States.

You will need to book the ticket as soon as possible. Use your usual travel agent or on-line site, for example http://www.expedia.com. As this is very close to your needed departure in NYC you will have limited cheap options. Jetblue has just now roundtrip tickets for 400-500 USD from JFK-LAX. Do take care that NYC has several airports and it will take time to transfer between them.

i suggest you buy the ticket now, because. New york to San Francisco is a hot route, you cant possibly get a good deal if you buy it at the airport or in a travel agency. they will take advantage of you, since you are there at last minute, and you'll have to pay too much. and if you catch a flight on Sunday to San Fran. $683 roundtrip on www.cheapoair.com return on 8/12 if you modify, you might recieve a cheaper price.

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
