I managed to get $450 ish round trip from Calgary to LAX, so I would guess you can get them a bit cheaper. PSP and Ontario are way better options than LAX, but they will cost more those weekends due to demand. Calgary to PSP was $1200+ for the same days as my flight to LAX.

If you fly Allegiant air from Bellingham, it's like $88 one way to Palm Springs. That's on the Wednesday though. My friend did that this year and then we all crashed at a hotel real cheap for the one night. If you can come down that one day early, everything is cheaper since the demand doesn't really start til the next day.

How much are plane tickets to Coachella from Portland usually? Seattle to Ontario was $230 round trip for me, and I believe flying out of Portland is usually cheaper than Seattle. EDIT: A quick check of a Thursday-Monday round trip on Southwest from PDX to ONT in June was $184. I would imagine it would be somewhere around that during April as well. Maybe less.

Haha, took me a moment but I see what you did there. EDIT: wait, don't say that! I'm flying with them to San Francisco next month.

Ontario is awesome to fly into in general because its so friggen small, but its never cheaper than LAX from what I've seen.

I'm fucking dumb. My sister has lived just outside of Ontario International for the last 3 years. Next year she is on rotation and won't be there, and of course thats the year I finally decide to go to coachella. Smrt.

Sarah, from Calgary your best bet is LAX or PSP direct. Ontario is always a connection, and the connection time means that the direct flight to LAX ends up being quicker...

When checking for flights, be sure to also check the costs of flying into Burbank. Also check out South West Airlines... No bag fees for up to 2 bags per person.

Southwest is straight up cheaper than EVERY single priceline-type website. 3/4 of my Coachella flights left right on time, and I was treated extremely well by all of the staff. Seriously, fly with them if it's an option.

I'd date someone if they worked for Virgin America. That airline boggles my mind and business class was killin' it.
