I'm heading out on my own for the flight. I'll be staying and standing with the SEs if Paul gets back to me affirmatively on that front. Anyway, my point of posting is to say that if anyone else is on the JetBlue flight out on Saturday (the only non-stop flying midday from Dulles), let me know via PM. As far as meeting up, etc. I'll play it by ear and likely follow the crowd from the hotel. Cheers, Tim
Re: MLS Cup Travel Information - aka "The I'm Going To LA Thread" :: DC United Edition I moved out here to San Diego in July and already have my tickets, 3 in sec 233. Have never been to Carson yet so I can't add anything to what the Tool Box is like. Would definitely be interested in having a few before game time.
Re: MLS Cup Travel Information - aka "The I'm Going To LA Thread" :: DC United Edition liz and i are going ! we got our tickets through the screaming eagles a couple weeks ago ! Sitting with the barra in June when we flew up to DC was great, and i know sunday will just as great ! i can't wait. Suzanne
Re: MLS Cup Travel Information - aka "The I'm Going To LA Thread" :: DC United Edition I'm looking forward to this game, and count us in if there are going to be any festivities before the game! Liz
Re: MLS Cup Travel Information - aka "The I'm Going To LA Thread" :: DC United Edition welcome to bigsoccer its great to have people share our joy too bad im stuck in WDC so ill have to watch on ABC
I just wanted to get an idea of how many BigSoccer fans are going to be in LA next week, so I figured I'd start a poll.
Dont got the bling bling, I will be there in spirit though. And of course watching frantically in front of my TV.
Re: MLS Cup Travel Information - aka "The I'm Going To LA Thread" :: DC United Edition I bought my tickets (plane and game) a week ago before the Mutts game. I'm staying at the Hampton Inn just round the corner from the HDC. Anyone else staying there? I get in at c. 5:30pm on Saturday evening and would like to hook up with any United supporters that are hanging out there too (note I'll have my 12 year old daughter with me so it can't be 'too' rowdy<G>). We have 2 seats in section 234 - anyone else 'sitting' (yeah, right, we'll be sitting) nearby?
Have a car to fix. If it wasn't for my wife meeting Bambi up close and personal, we would have been there (nothing major and we think the deer survived, but still money that would be better spent on a trip to LA) -dave
Using the excuse of going to LA to visit my wife's brother a couple of weeks ago, I booked flights for me and my wife. The brother used to live here and supports DC United. He picked up the MLS Cup tickets. I had faith that the boys would come through for us (though they almost killed me last night!). We're in the middle section in the upper deck someplace, so we won't be with the supporters groups, but we'll be as loud as we can be. That's three DC fans up above. Vamos United!
Re: MLS Cup Travel Information - aka "The I'm Going To LA Thread" :: DC United Edition Some comparatively inexpensive cross-country last-minute flight info. I'll throw them into the next few posts for purposes of clarity. Leave Friday, Return Monday: American, Northwest, and Delta all have several flights daily out of BWI to LAX for $280. Northwest: Return flight for that fare leaves LAX at 12:30 AM Monday morning (seven hours after the game ends). American: Return flight for that fare leaves LAX at 2:25 PM and gets to BWI shortly after midnight. There's also a red-eye for $1 that leaves LAX at 10:55 PM and hits BWI at 6:32 AM. Delta: Return flight for that fare leaves LAX at 3:47 PM and gets to BWI at 1:13 AM
Re: MLS Cup Travel Information - aka "The I'm Going To LA Thread" :: DC United Editio I'm looking at some AA flights from Dulles to LAX, Sat 8:30, return on the red-eye Mon 10pm (Tue 6am at Dulles) for $232. Hmmm....

Re: MLS Cup Travel Information - aka "The I'm Going To LA Thread" :: DC United Edition It also gets into BWI at 1230pm. 8+ hours travel time. I did a last minute deal on Travelocity, leave Friday, return leaves late Sunday night and arrives at BWI 6am Monday. Flights alone for that are about $350pp, so it's a steal to go the last-minute deal route for hotel/car/flight combo. Click on the link on the flight search page in the top right to see those deals.

Re: MLS Cup Travel Information - aka "The I'm Going To LA Thread" :: DC United Edition Leave Saturday, Return Monday: Northwest has the same options as above. Spirit Air has a 5:00 PM departure out of DCA. You can get the red-eye out of LAX at 10:30 for a 9:10 AM arrival on Tuesday. Price: $268.40 Delta has a 9:50 AM out of BWI with the red-eye (11:56 PM - 9:56 AM) as the return. Price: $277 American has morning flights out of both BWI and IAD. Returning to BWI, the only flight goes from 1:20 PM-12:36 AM, for $280. Returning to IAD, there's a non-stop (10:55 PM-6:32 AM) for $281, and a 6:45 PM-6:36 AM - $291
Re: MLS Cup Travel Information - aka "The I'm Going To LA Thread" :: DC United Edition I bought tickets for Jan and me on Jet Blue, leaving Dulles on Saturday afternoon, and returning on Monday afternoon, on the same flight that the SE's are on. Price for airfare was around $296 each.
Re: MLS Cup Travel Information - aka "The I'm Going To LA Thread" :: DC United Edition Thanks. Stole it from this picture
Re: MLS Cup Travel Information - aka "The I'm Going To LA Thread" :: DC United Edition Leave Friday, Return Sunday: and Leave Saturday, Return Sunday: Everything was over $300.
It's killing me, but I don't have the money! If anyone wants a place on Capitol Hill to hang and watch the game, PM me@
