Yea first year here from NY. Wish I booked earlier I'm paying double what I usually pay to fly to San diego
Agreed! I'm flying to SD from NY as well, and booked my tickets from Delta at $350 (got them in early March and this was already the -cheapest- flight I could find!). Freaking expensive considering the last time I flew from NY to MSP and MSP to Vegas on Christmas Eve/Christmas it was about $250. Comic-Con week is like super duper peak season! :/As a frequent traveller (who always ends up with excess baggage) I'd recommend advance online check-ins AND turning up 2 hours before the flight regardless - be prepared to be delayed by the check-in counter, they can make you re-pack and re-distribute luggage weight to their satisfaction! And upon entering the departure gate, you will encounter long queues for security checks. (This reminds me of that funny scene in Up In The Air where George Clooney was giving advice on breezing through these queues as effectively as possible :p) All this is even before you get to the actual Flight Gate, so you wouldn't want to take any risks by cutting it close.
On that same trip, my friend had gotten one of those hard poster tubes with carrying straps, and it wouldn't fit in her suitcase either. They didn't even give it a second glance.
Now you've made me quite sad. That year when I discovered the tube would not fit in my luggage when I was packing to leave, I left it behind. But I'm even more saddened by the fact that the airline I'm travelling with has changed from two checked bags free to only one since I last flew with them. So now do I limit myself to one piece of luggage, or not be so cheap and pay for the extra suitcase? (Gotta have room for swag and those sweet, sweet Comic-Con exclusives, right?)
