Try Priceline.com, I've just checked and the flight is about $270..

Yeah! Priceline is excellent for hotels, too. In 2004, the wife and I stayed at the Sheraton in Toronto for, if I'm not mistaken, US$80/night (or was it US$60? Memory's going down the drain I'm afraid :lol: ).

Anyway, the good thing about it is that you name your price (for hotels). Dunno if you can do the same for flights, though. :unsure:

Good luck, anyway.

You can, but only for flights departing from the US. Don't know why they stopped doing it internationally - I once got London-Chicago-DC for 150 GBP return with them. Happy days!

May seems pricey at the moment, I can see 273 USD from YVR-LAX for April. Check Kayak.com and watch the fare trends from other users' searches.

If you can swing a few extra days off, I'd fill the car with good tunes and make a road trip of it. The Oregon coastline is spectacular as is a lot of other stuff along the way. :thumbup:

Was seriously considering that actually, but dont want to leave my 3 year old for too long (sad cow), but hubby and I plan to do that as a family. Actually I drove from Van to San Fran along the coast, pretty stunning.
Thanks guys for your tips, I did a bit of research and with the ideas you gave it looks like we can do it for $275 ish, much better!:thumbup:
