Find roundtrip air travel for my girlfriend from the San Francisco Bay
Area to Orange County, CA. Must be actually bookable (or answer will
be refused). Your tip will directly correlate to the price of the fare
you find, so go get em!

Valid Originating Airports: {OAK, SFO, SJC} in order of preference
Valid Destination Airport: {SNA}
Valid First-Leg Travel Date: Thursday 22 July (must be after noon)
Valid Return-Leg Travel Date: Sunday 25 July (ideally evening)
Valid Price: Below $120 r/t

Other notes
*Must be roundtrip on a recognized commercial airline
*Smarterliving.com has a fare from United, but the dates are bad
*Hotwire yields $232 r/t
*Expedia does $228 r/t
*Southwest standard fare is $99 EACH WAY
*EITHER (Thursday into LGB) or (Friday before noon into SNA) may be
acceptable, just ask for clarification to see if the price difference
is worth it.

THANKS!

Clarification of Question by ralphs-ga on 21 Jul 2004 14:31 PDT

research_help: will using LAX and LGB help?

As of now, the lowest fare that meets all of your criteria is more
than double what you are willing to pay.  You will not find anything
close to what you want for under $120 r/t. Sorry

Try using different combinations on www.orbitz.com to get the best
fares. You can allow orbitz to check 1 day before and after your
preferred dates and also airports within 70 miles or your preferred
airport.  However, the fares seem to be well above your limit. I tried
a few combinations and the best fare I found that met all of your
requirements was in the $250s.
