CanWeGoYet? Posted February 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Pricing flights for my return after my cruise this coming fall. I realize it's too early to buy, but am shocked by the prices. No non stop flights & what I do see are way expensive. Anyone know if airlines have dropped the nonstops between long beach and Seattle? It's been years since I've flown this route, but there used to be a wealth of good cheap flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted February 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Most airlines already have their schedule out for Fall. Are you talking about Southwest? Look for their current schedule for some ideas. No guarantees, but if they are flying the route in June or July, likely they will be flying the routes in the Fall. The economy is good. The fares are the fares. What you might have paid years ago has absolutely no effect on what the fares are today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanWeGoYet? Posted February 25, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted February 25, 2019 In the past I've pretty much stuck to Alaska Air or (if memory serves) Jet Blue. I may have to look at SNA or LAX. Cruise isn't until November but I'm going to keep a watch out for prices & cross my fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best first step for this question, from any airport, is Wikipedia. Try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Beach_Airport#Passenger for a quick pointer to where to look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymia Posted February 25, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Long Beach is a fairly small and slot controlled airport. Meaning airlines flights are limited by how many slots they have. JetBlue is the only airline that does LGB-SEA non-stop. Only 5 airlines fly there to begin with. So competition, on flights to Seattle are pretty low from LGB. It is still a bit far out for a domestic flight too. JetBlue I think has its schedule out but Southwest might not. If you find prices crazy look at the other airports, SNA, BUR and LAX. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do a lot of business trips where I need to work in Seattle and then follow it up with some work in Long Beach and/or Los Angeles. Alaska often offers some crazy low fares between Los Angeles and Seattle. I routinely fly SEA-LAX and SEA-SNA for $75-$90 one-way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
