Check flights from T.F. Green (or Manchester N.H.) to San Diego. I got mine for $233 round trip on the Internet super saver fare. They might still have some left. Phoenix is only a five-hour drive from S.D. Also, we're lodging in Yuma both nights, which is a little less than half way.

I flew in for the AFCCG alone, no way my wife could have handled that cold. Plus its a lot cheaper to go alone.

You can get airfare via Southwest for around $250-400 if you mess around with the dates and the airports. You could fly into LAX and drive the rest of the way to your hotel and then drive from the hotel to the game the next day.

Hotwire still has some rooms available around Phoenix for around $250-300 per day.

You can do it! hehe

Go for it Moga! One of my STmates went to the Pats-Rams SB solo and just winged it the whole time. There are so many fans around it's easy to make friends. He said he'd do it again. If he had only listened to me and not had kids, and gotten married, and started his own business...You'd think my setting the example would be enough to smarten him up.

Thanks for the fuel guys... Im doing some research on flights now. So far the best deal i could find was leaving Fri. depating Phoenix on Wed.

Is it possible to get a flight out of there on Monday (for a reasonable price)?

If you fly into LAX or SAN you can leave Sat and come back Monday.

That way you save on hotel costs. Just rent a car at LAX and drive to the hotel Sat afternoon/night and then drive to the game from the hotel on Sunday.

The problem is flights FROM PHX on Monday. Even into Tampa they are sold out (guess there's a lot of Pats fans here).

I MIGHT be able to stay with a friend in Scottsdale. If not, im considering just sleeping in the rental car (at a rest stop). Especially if I drive in from LAX.

How long of a drive is it?
