Oops, I seem to have lost on the "book cheap holiday travel tickets" plot. Any advice on the relative merits of Song (Delta) vs. JetBlue vs. Southwest? Any other options worth considering for BOSish to SFOish? (It seems like I can get around $400 cooked on any of the preceding options now for the dates I want to travel; AA is $550+, which isn't worth it just to get useful FF miles, and I can't reasonably travel on miles.)

JetBlue is much better than Southwest, I've never flown Song. United flies non-stops BOS to SFO. And American just announced a holiday fare sale which includes BOS to SFO.

I also like JetBlue much better than Southwest. SW doesn't do nonstops for this route, I think. Song is fine, and the way they try too hard to be trendy is quite entertaining. If the fares are about the same, it probably just comes down to whether SFO or OAK is more convenient (probably the former?). Oh, yeah, and I've gotten cheap cross-country flights on United before too.

Didn't Song just go out of business or get reuptaken into Delta or something like that?

I liked Southwest the one time I flew it (no-nonsense, funky), but that was years ago and I can't compare it to the others.

I don't know if it's happened yet, but it was announced that Delta was going to absorb Song. And with the saber rattling going on between Delta and its pilots right now, it may not be a safe bet to attempt to fly Song.

Maybe I should qualify that last statement. I expect it depends on when Song gets absorbed into Delta, since I expect the Song pilots' employment is unrelated to the Delta pilots.
