Dude. $400 per person for us to go to Seattle? Ummno.

I really really hope fares go *way* down...

The best fare I ever found from OKC to Seattle was $211. Here's hoping the Low Airfare Fairy smiles upon you...

Cheap fares cross-country

Fares to Seattle get a lot cheaper if you're willing to drive to Birmingham or Nashville (recommended; really isn't a bad drive, I've done it a couple of times) and fly out of there. I've seen them get down to $198 or better.

Heh. I don't even drive to the *Atlanta* airport - I take a cab...

Flying on Southwest (http://www.southwest.com) to Sea-Tac looks pretty good: it's $99/one way. You could fly out of Birmingham; that's probably the closest place for you. Good luck getting a good price!

Two things: One, if you're looking all the way out at next July, you'll want to wait until March or April. Ideally you can get a fare with a lead digit of a 1, 2 if you must. Two, there is a shuttle bus from Hartsfield to Birmingham if Southwest proves to be cheaper.... which it might. Oh, and a third. Do NOT fly Delta. They can't keep their planes fixed, and you WILL be late... and I worry about that mainenance factor...

If you're willing to fly last minute, cheaptickets.com often has really decent deals.

I strongly recommend against Hotwire.

Also check smaller airlines like ATA--basically check out Seattle's and Atlanta's airport webpages, then check out the home pages for each of the airlines that hit both.

They do go way down. You might want to get on one (or more) of the mailing lists that give out cheap air fare prices. Sometimes the sales are really low.
