American Airlines has “basic economy” round-trip flights from Houston (IAH/HOU) to Portland, Oregon (PDX) or Palm Springs (PSP) for $130 with a connection. $65 each-way. Origin/Destination reversible. “Regular Economy” fare is available for +$50 more.

Note: Portland flights scattered from January to February. Palm Springs flights from December to February.

Note: “Basic Economy” fares do not include a free carry-on bag. Only a personal item (like a small-backpack) is free. Checked bags cost +$25 each-way. Seats are randomly assigned prior to boarding. If you have the AAdvantage credit-card, the “Free checked-bag” and “Priority boarding” perks will be useful for this.

Note: Be sure to check BOTH “IAH” and “HOU” for availability.

Note: You can select between “Regular Economy” and “Main Cabin” at the Priceline or Travelocity check-out screen. See screenshot below.

  • Tips: Use Tripadvisor to create a Hotel “short list”. First, plug in your dates and destination. Then select “Sort by Traveler Ranked”. Finally, select the “Traveler Ranking” filter to show “only 4* and up”. Use this resulting “short list” of hotels to find the cheapest one with a high ranking.
  • Tips: Hotel rates for Weekend dates are usually higher than the rates for Sunday through Thursday. Tripadvisor has a color-coded date calendar, red when the average hotel price for that day is more expensive, green for less expensive. You can use this to get an overview of what dates in the month are at a discount.
  • Tips: Different booking websites will often have differing routes, prices, and availability. Before you finalize your purchase, do a quick check on BookingBuddy, Skyscanner, and Kayak to see if any other site or airline is offering a better deal.
