There are probably more cities included at these prices too, if I left out the one you're interested in just try it in Google Flights.

      Save money on a window seat by flying Alaska

            @DingoBlue: we talking about price match?

            Here's how our price guarantee works:
            Purchase an Alaska Airlines flight here at alaskaair.com or alaskaair.com/easybiz.
            Within 24 hours of buying your ticket, find the same flight and itinerary on another travel site, for at least $10 less than you paid.
            Complete the price guarantee request form.

            and if thats the case, then technically i can go with alaksa airlines, then i can go to hawaii and get them to refund the difference with a jetstar flight on sale?

          suppose but it also depends where you go in states too, i was giving an example of 10 USD who knows it could be 15 USD there, but all i've heard from people that have gone is that definitely double the money required when spending there

            @prankster: From all I've seen and read online, the days of the cheap burger are over (same with most bargains we used to find in the States), with things often costing the same or more in USD as we pay in AUD, plus the hidden tax and the obligatory tip (15% is now seen as stingy btw, so greedy have they become - 20% is expected and many stupidly give 25-30%). And tipping is also surfacing on takeaway places, where you pay in advance.

            America sucks now.

          FWIW, its a bit different in the US vs here. Generally if you miss the connecting flight, the airlines there just put you on the next one at no cost. I wouldn't stress too much either way

          • meowsers on 08/01/2024 - 22:25
            +5

            @Bargainitis: It's the same everywhere. As travel agents we can only book flights that meet the MCT (minimum connect time). If you try to book a pair of flights on the same itinerary and it doesn't meet the minimum the system will not allow you to proceed.

            The key is it all has to be on the same itinerary / booking - or it becomes your problem.

            For example for UA in SFO the MCT is the following:

            D/D means domestic to domestic
            D/I means domestic to international etc

            T*CT-SFO/UAUA/ID

            STANDARD D/D…D/I…I/D…I/I.
            ONLINE .50 1.00 1.45 1.45
            OFFLINE .50 1.00 1.45 1.45

            So the MCT from from one United international flight to the next United Domestic flight is 87 minutes.

            If you miss your flight, you'll just get put on the next one at no cost. If you have travel insurance you might even be able to claim (for example Amex Platinum Charge covers $700 after 4 hours depending on the situation).

          Plenty of other cities in the USA have far higher crime rates. FS and Portland sit at 37th & 62nd when it comes to violent crime rates for example. I walked right through the drug riddled tenderloin a few times, and past camps ion Portland, and while it was shocking, they keep to themselves mostly.

          Considering what these cities offer over some of the cities with higher crime rates, I'd say they're pretty alright. All that being said, there's no way in hell I'd live in the USA lol, but good to visit, especially SF and Portland.

          • Scrooge McDuck on 09/01/2024 - 16:07

            @SkMed: San Francisco is 7th and Portland is 15th in total crime rate across the US.

            That data is from 2019 and there are more recent reports of worsening crime in those two cities.

      • ryefig on 09/01/2024 - 10:59

        Hey @Rodger1, Did you get a rental car while you were there? Any issues with robberies or feeling unsafe?

        With all the videos of smash and grabs into parked cars in SF, it's quite concerning and putting me off a potentially wonderful destination. Obviously, the news/social media shows the worst, but lots of the videos of the robberies are from 'nicer' neighbourhoods as well as tourist areas, so am keen to hear from your experience.

        • Brick50 on 09/01/2024 - 11:06
          +1

          No rental car. I drove in LA, Vegas, Florida etc. but you don't really need a car in SF.

          The streets are very narrow and steep, parking is quite difficult and expensive. I stayed in Fishermans Wharf which is very touristy and doesn't give you the "true" experience but where I stayed had a very secure parking garage. Took buses and trams and cablecars around to see golden gate bridge, union square. Could get you anywhere really

          I certainly wouldn't leave belongings in the car in the area, or at the golden gate bridge etc. But you also wouldn't do that in Chicago, or anywhere else really.

      Was just in both in October. Tenderloin was pretty shocking to see in SF, but it's similar in all major US cities. The rest of the city was fantastic, Portland is an amazing green city with tonnes of amazing nature all around. I'm likely gonna go back this year tbh.

    The price of seat selection on United is crazy. An extra $70 to be allowed to select your own seat, and another $450 for an exit-row seat. So more than $1000 on top of the base ticket price to get an exit row seat round trip.

    • 1st-Amendment on 09/01/2024 - 15:35

      The price of seat selection on United is crazy.

      They're all doing it now, that's how they make the advertised fare look so appealing, by charging like a wounded bull for everything else.
      I'm flying there on Delta and it was the same. I'm also doing a couple of internal legs and one of them charged $60 for a carry-on bag. (Check-in bag was over $100). $60 just for me to carry my own bag onto the plane!
      From memory it was something like $90 for the ticket, but if you had a carry-on bag, a check-in bag, and wanted to choose a seat it ended up being about $300. It's almost cheaper to fly with nothing then by your clothes when you get there.

          I've flown Southwest a couple of times and they were excellent. We even missed our flight one time (slept in due to jet lag) and they just put us on the next one at no charge. Definitely recommend them when available.

        United are taking the piss with those prices though. I flew overseas a couple of times last year and paid for exit row each time, and the prices were much more reasonable. Singapore charged me $130 each way MEL-SIN and Jetstar $90 each way MEL-BKK. I’m happy to pay extra but United are on another planet asking $500+.

      FWIW despite the questionable reputation, I had no complaints flying United in March last year. I was quite worried about losing my bags and even Airtag'd both but the United app actually lets you track them.

      Regarding the seat situation, agreed that it's outrageous, but many of the paid ones become free just before boarding which I made great use of. I went from having seat neighbours to being able to sprawl out across a middle aisle I had to myself after a last minute change.

        do you mean you check online while waiting at the gate?

          Yes that's right. I think some may open up at the 24 hour mark though?

    All negatives going to Murica in 2024.
    Tipping, wildly expensive, big cities are third world cities.
