Man, if only you had said something sooner! I am based out of Ft. Carson, and if I had known I prolly would have split the gas for the drive with you. But I bought my flight out of CS instead. And I'm leaving out of Seattle at like 2 in the afternoon on monday.
yeah, I saw that you already got your tickets. Not sure that i could of stayed that long anyways. There actually seems to be quite a few coming from the springs, according to the forum.

I booked through Travelocity last night.
I will be on the Baltimore CLASSIC GAMING PLANE.
Travelocity did not allow me to select my seat but my fellow passengers can get my attention with Twitter before the flight boards.
I am stevemcbarnes on Twitter.
I will be flying with my laptop which has many awesome movies on it (Digital Copies from Blu-rays I own). My laptop happens
to have two headphone ports so it is great for watching movies on a plane with a friend.
Darn... Im flying on a Southwest out of Baltimore due to scheduling conflicts... and to meet Thursday early-arrival requirements.. I booked early on Wednesday. Also, I don't feel that this is going any where via this format... so why don't we just go to a discussion with a updated OP every-so-often... /shrug.
I hope to be flying out of STL (with my wife), ideally on Tuesday to stay with friends pre-pax, however my Job is placing a Thursday evening meeting on me meaning my wife and I may literally be on the last flight out of STL (whatever that is) getting in at Whatever time is just before SEA closes. Thank the Pax gods for friends willing to drive to the airport at horrific hours.
Edit: Oh and I can find no hide nor hair of those SWA flights out of STL, especially at that price!

I'll be flying out of KC on the morning of the 25th.
Will be connecting up with the Denver based 8-bit plane that leaves at 8:15AM MDT. Currently requested a seat in row 13.
I'm going to be staying through Monday and will be leaving on an American Airlines red-eye Monday night/Tuesday morning.

It's Airfare Wednesday, and prices have plummeted. If your coming from STL I'd act now (I did.) I haven't seen prices this low since I started tracking them in mid march. Alaska Air has a nonstop flight for $255.40 leaving on Tuesday, Taxes, fees and everything (but stupid baggage fees included). I just booked it, so I know that's thats the total.
Southwest (not to be left out) has a few 1 stop flights for about the same cost. No baggage fees, but you'll trade a stop in both directions.
My buddy and I booked our tickets out of Sacramento Metropolitan Airport for Thursday August 25th. We were able to get round trip flights leaving Thursday and returning Monday evening for about 220 each from http://www.statravel.com/
I am (probably the only one) leaving out of Baton Rouge, LA on Thursday, but I have a connection in Houston. I think I am going to take an earlier flight than the LOLCAT flight though, just so I can get to Seattle as early in the day as possible.
So, I'll be flying solo on Continental flight 167 which leaves Houston at 7:45 and puts me in Seattle at 10:15 am. Let me know if anyone else is planning on being an earlybird that day!
Haven't seen anyone flying out of Dallas (DFW) yet, and I finally purchased my tickets today (hooray reward points). Decided I'd fly in Thursday and out Monday so I could get the full on PAX experience, this being my first one. Curious to compare it to the other big cons I've done in years past (Origins, GenCon, DragonCon). I'm taking AA Flight 621 out of DFW on 8/25 at 10:40 AM landing at SEA at 12:55 pm.
looks like I'm not going to be on an actual pre-approved plane after all, it didn't work out. However, I have booked my flights, arriving to seattle on AirTran 154 wednesday night

If you are like myself and still haven't purchased your airfare to Seattle, today would be a good day. Southwest (and Airtran, since SW just purchased airtran) are having a web-only sale - one way tickets are between $40-$120 depending on the distance. For me this was a great deal, as I saved over $100 over what the fare was just yesterday. (flying in from baltimore). Just wanted to pass this on:

Looks like the really cheap sales on the Atlanta flights are on the red eyes, but it's still a good deal if you don't mind landing after midnight. Otherwise, the rest of the flights are about $50 off what I paid round-trip.

Just jumped on the latest Southwest deal today (which is invalid as of 6/23)- got round trip ticket from los angeles to sea/tac for $194 after taxes. Good stuff... now I just need a place to stay up there.

Is anyone flying back on Monday? I realize the wife and I are coming to early to catch most of you (Yay for friends with floor space!) but some Post Pax Fun would be nice. The wife is already planning Pax '12 in her head I think so the longer we can keep the fun going!

Holy crap that's a good sale on southwest. $80 one-way from PHX-->SEA is insanely cheap.
Sadly, the WANG-approved flight 951 was more expensive than the other flights on Wednesday, so I had to make the call and pick a different flight Just in case anyone else is in this position, here's my flight info...

Find it funny. SouthWest is offering Non-Stop from Sacramento to Sea-Tac at $300 (plus fees and tax) round-trip...for one person. And yet it's 1+ stops if it's from San Francisco to Sea-Tac.
Kinda glad I got mine when I did. Granted, it'll be United; but $431 total for two folks in comparison to $600+; I'll take my chances with United.

Lucky, from CVG to SEA it is unnecessarily expensive. Barely sub $400 a person.

I think I bought my plane tickets like five days after I bought the passes. I just like to get everything done and paid. The two things I have not done yet is the hotel (since the company PA is going through only let's you pay for one day until you get there) and then the transportation from airport to hotel, which will not be purchased until after I come back from San Diego Comic-Con.
Anywho! It's a miracle that they have changed my flight schedule only once--so far. Normally by now it would have been twice.

Awesome, well, I'm sure you won't have any trouble recognizing myself and other PAX goers. I'll at the very least have some sort of gaming related shirt on, and I have a feeling we'll see other non-forumites there, too. I pretty much bought a DSi XL as a way of further intermingling with PAXers, so there will be that as well.

Are you leaving from Sacramento too? I got my tickets last month for about $220 each, through STA Travel, via Alaska Air. I always find tickets to Seattle are around the 200 range if you book early enough in advance.
Fake edit: Just read you paid a less than me. When did you book your flight?

Actually flying from San Francisco. I booked about fiveish days after the Passes went on sale. At that point in time, San Francisco had all the non-stops and Sacramento had the 1+ stops. Also, SFO has been good to me ever since The Boyfriend and I started flying to PAX. (Drove once in '07...never again)

FYI Airtran doesn't let you pick your seats without paying an extra fee until checkin, so it's hard to coordinate seats ahead of time.
