BWI to LAX

Hoping to go from BWI to LAX for anywhere from 7-20 days this August but I'm pretty flexible so I'm not sure what the best way to plan/book is. I've been looking at the Name Your Price tool but it wants a lot of specificity and I'm really just hoping to get the best deal.

 

I would like to depart/return between 8/3/15 and 8/21/15 - it doesn't matter which days. I can fly into LAX or Bob Hope (Burbank) - it makes no difference. I would prefer to fly out of BWI as I live 45 minutes east of there, but DCA is not a difficult commute so I am also willing to go from there - and would be open to flying out of IAD (Dulles) if it were going to save me perhaps more than $50 or $100.

 

Any flight experts have any advice? Should just choose some dates and try to see if I get low bids accepted? I'm totally new to Priceline.

Rebecca,

 

Some good tools:

 

1 - http://matrix.itasoftware.com  - sometimes referred to as "ITA"

 

It lets you use a range of dates, and nearby airports.  Very powerful.  A bit of a learning curve, but totally worth it.

 

2 - www.kayak.com - lots easier but not as powerful.

 

3 - https://www.google.com/flights/ - same comments as Kayak.

 

Any of these can give you an idea of where the low spots are.  And then you can try to do better than that for those dates via bidding.  It looks like somewhere around $350 is the number to beat.  But also check the smaller airlines lines like Spirit and Jet Blue.  Sometimes they have some surprising deals.
