You can also try JetBlue, the newest of the "low fare airlines" From their
website, "Fly Oakland or LA/Long Beach, CA to/from Washington DC/Dulles.
Fares starting at $114." go to http://www.jetblue.com/ for more info.
Prices quoted are usually "each-way" but only require a "7-day in advance"
of travel purchase.
Won't be making it out for this year's event, but maybe next year as we have
lots of friends in the Metro DC area.
