Getting to San Jose, CA
from Michigan (Detroit)
I need to get a 16yo there at the end of August Weds-Sun as cheaply as possible. maybe Tues-Sun I've almost lost the will to fight and I've certainly lost the will to navigate expedia and the like any more. Could use some help, pls. As I see it, main options are (1) one airfare for the 16YO (won't need to pay unaccomp minor fees, I think -didn't to SLC) to Either San Jose, San fran or Oakland -I believe coaches ill be able to pickup from those airports -certainly the first two) (2) two airfares to somewhere dayroadtrippable away but cheap to fly in to, plus a cheap car rental

$467 round trip on United was the best I could find

thanks. that would definitely only work if she were accompanied, though. too many plane changes for our comfort levels for a 16yo travelling alone.

It appears there are no direct flights from Detroit to San Jose
The Detroit - San Francisco line is covered by Delta. Price is about $520. Can only search at delta.com for this, but it's easy. Put DTW for the "from" airport, SFO for the "to" airport, and put in the dates. If you are willing to drive to Chicago, you can get Southwest, direct to San Jose for under $300. |

Meh, if they can get from one class to another, they could probably change planes. But, I follow ya.

Changing planes is no big deal, but if a connection is delayed or canceled or something and they wind up stranded for the night at some city in the middle then they have to deal with finding lodging on their own. Getting transportation to the hotel. A meal or two, working with the airline to get another flight. I'd be freaking as a parent if that was my kid. And with each additional connecting flight, the chance of that happening grows exponentially.

right. one connection is going to have to happen, I think, but I'd like to limit it to that. Unless it's so cheap an adult is going. I'm really hoping for a miracle option (c) I didn't think of, I guess... I could drive as far as Chicago or imilar to put her on a plane, so we aren't necessarily limited to DTW

call her a pet, stick her in a cage and ship her cargo. Bonus, she can report on the conditions that actual pets go through when we take them flying.

I tried the pet thing. Apparently she's too aggressive
