Question Hi Patrick,
I'm not sure if I should be asking you this question but here goes.
Which website/airline is the cheapest to purchase tickets? Denver to Orange County. My sister is flying to LA to meet me and my family at Disneyland.
Would you know how to purchase bargain Disneyland tickets?!
Thanks for your time and answers.

Answer Lynda:
It's really hard to say, because airfares tend to change dramatically depending which carriers have a sale going. I believe Southwest is a popular carrier into Orange Country, but I don't believe it serves Denver. So, you might be stuck with one of the mainline airliness. I'd say, got to Travelocity.com first, then to United's and perhaps Frontier's websites and see who's cheapest.
Then, of course, click over to my website and buy a copy of my book so you'll have something cool to read on the plane.
