Planning your Cabo San Lucas Trip (from Orange County)

If you haven’t already, please read New Southwest Airlines Routes (Orange County to Cabo).

Anyways, since flights are relatively cheap from Orange County (SNA), I convinced my brother to go with me for a short weekend getaway.  Since Southwest points will be devalued started April 1, I strongly recommend burning your stockpile before then.  Southwest has free change and cancellation fees, so there is no excusing to hold onto your Southwest points now.  With that said, flights from SNA to Cabo San Lucas (SJD) are only 11,400 points round trip plus $85 in taxes/fees starting August 10.

For those without massive stockpiles of Southwest points, round trip flights can be had for $315.  Much cheaper than $400+ flights on US Airways connecting in Phoenix.  Continue reading →

New Southwest Airlines Routes (Orange County to Cabo) and Free Gogo WiFi for a Year with Samsung Galaxy Tablet Purchase

In case you didn’t hear, Southwest Airlines has added a few more routes for later this year.  The Wall Street Journal (link) has all the details, but here are the highlights:

Beginning Aug. 10, 2014, Southwest Airlines will operate daily, nonstop flights between:

  • Cancun, Mexico, and Atlanta, Baltimore/Washington, and (Saturdays only) Milwaukee 
  • San Jose del Cabo/Los Cabos, Mexico, and Santa Ana/Orange County 
  • Nassau, Bahamas, and (Saturdays only) Atlanta 

To celebrate the new service, Southwest Airlines is offering introductory fares (including U.S. and non-U.S. taxes and fees) for nonstop flights from these U.S. gateways:

  • Atlanta, Georgia, to Nassau, Bahamas for as low as $127 one-way 
  • Baltimore/Washington, Maryland, to Nassau, Bahamas for as low as $126 one-way 
  • Denver, Colo., to San Jose del Cabo/Los Cabos, Mexico for as low as $192 one-way* 
  • Orlando, Fla., to Montego Bay, Jamaica for as low as $148 one-way 
  • Milwaukee, Wisc., to Cancun, Mexico for $214 one-way 
  • Santa Ana/Orange County, Calif., and San Jose del Cabo/Los Cabos, Mexico for $143 oneway

Flights from SNA to Cabo are pretty reasonable.  Taxes/fees are a bit higher to/from Mexico than domestic flights in the United States:

Thank You

A Quick Thank You and a Few Free Southwest Movie Vouchers and Award Wallet Plus Codes

I know I don’t say this enough, but I just wanted to say thank you for all the readers who come to Travel with Grant daily.  Some of you come from Google (more like half of you), some come from other travel blogs, and some come back daily to see what crazy things I’m up to.  Where ever you come from, I want to thank you for visiting and engaging with me and the other readers in the comments.

I would also like to thank those of you who use my Amazon Affiliate Link *its right there >>*.  I have almost earned enough for a first class airline ticket booklet of stamps.  All those small purchases add up and I am very thankful that you used my link.

Anyway, let’s get to the free stuff, shall we?  I got 2 free movie passes for Southwest Airlines for being a Southwest Airlines credit card holder.  I got them right around Valentine’s Day and have no plans to use them.
