[QUOTE="inactive, post: 3272148, member: 7488"] Southwest flies to Portland, Maine. The travel sites don't scrub their fares, so get them direct from Southwest.com They're not always the cheapest, but often are and usually are pretty close if they aren't. If you are checking any luggage at all, they give you 2 bags free (plus the carry ons) which at 30-50 bucks a bag, that freebie is worth quire a lot. I use SWA a lot when going to Denver, Phoenix, Vegas, Burbank, San Diego (and St Louis, though I usually drive that). I'd use them to Houston but I hate flying into Hobby (my work there is adjacent to IAH, so I just go on United). And as noted, the flights can vary in price but usually it's based on day of travel and time of travel. Early and late flights are usually cheaper. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and sometimes Sunday are usually cheaper. Stays over a weekend sometimes end up cheaper also as weekend stay shoppers are more shrewd and not the price-insensitive business travelers (this one doesn't apply to Southwest who prices and sells each flight leg separately anyway).
