With people along the East Coast still recovering from Hurricane Sandy and facing more inclement weather in the form of an impending Nor’easter storm, I can’t imagine a better time for airlines to cut prices on flights to sunny California. This week, major carriers discounted fares to Los Angeles and San Diego from cities across the United States. Seems like a great time to head west!
