If you don't want to drive and Delta is too expensive to fly, you guys need to check out www.SkyBus.com. They're doing no frills flights from a few cities and one of them is Seattle and they're dirt cheap. Some of them are as low as $10.00. I think the highest I've seen was $160.00 for a one-way out of Columbus, OH. The only thing is that these guys are bare bones. No snacks or meals, no first or business class, and you only get one carry-on bag free. If you need to check a bag, it's costs about $50.00. You get on the plane, you fly, you get the f--- off the plane.
The wife and I are tempting flying to Boston just because it's something like $160.00 for two round-trip tickets.
And no, I'm not a shill. It's just something that you guys should check out if you can't make the supertrips and you live far, far away from the west coast. Or don't feel like driving from L.A.
In a loophole-ish way, I wish I was coming in from out of town so I could partake in the supertrips.
I've never been a part of one, nor do I really know what happens on these trips, but the idea sounds like it has the potential to be an event as memorable as PAX itself. This is no small claim.
Hey, gas is going to be 4.00 a gallon and that's a long drive. Yeah, you may not get the experience of a ST, but it'll probably cost one hell of a lot less and that's more money to spend at PAX.
Pissed I can't go. Already spending too much going to GenCon in Indy and I work for a local school district and I kinda have to be there for the first three weeks of school. Not fair, I tell ya.
But shit... Under $400 round trip... that is cheaper then the CCST I'm sorry to say.
Two point response:
1) CCST isn't about saving money/time. It's about awesome.
2) A standard flight from Delta is under $400 round trip as well ($330 from OKC where I live).

Yeah... now that I look back on that... I have no clue what I was saying and I think I was drunk when I said it.
CCST is going to be cheaper if you've got more then one person in the car... and it's not safe to try and drive cross country by yourself.
And coming from Detroit... the cheapest flight has been $360ish.

You have to pick a starting location that is listed on the site, and a finishing location that is also listed on the site.
And the "Seattle" that they have listed is actually Bellingham, WA. Which google tells me is an hour drive north of Seattle.

An hour? LOL
Try 1.5h best possible time. 2h if you run into some rush hour traffic

Bellevue hosted PAX every other year, but this year it's just too big.
They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
