Always book 30 days in advanced to have the best option for cheaper fares. The closer to departure the more expensive it is. Stay away from booking Friday and Sunday departure or returns. Tues and Wed are the cheaper days, but booking Mon-Thurs or Saturday are your best options.

Southwest has one way fares from LAX to Oakland, which isnt far from San Francisco for $49 each way before taxes and they are non-stop flights. Frontier LAX-SFO non-stop is $118.60 after taxes and was the cheapest next to SW.

You can check the travel websites, but Ive always found better deals with the airlines itself. You avoid paying booking fees that way.

You can check flying into Oakland or San Jose when comparing prices. They are both co-termials of San Francisco.

You can travel with a lady's razor in carry-on luggage. Here is the quote from the TSA on razors:

Razor-Type Blades – such as box cutters, utility knives, razor blades not in a cartridge, but excluding safety razors.

Carryon – No Checked- Yes

Because they list safety razors being excluded from the list, you are fine to pack a ladies razor in your carry-on luggage.

Minneapolis and Detroit both have fabulous airports. They both offer the DVD rentals so you can rent a portable DVD player and movies and return it at your next airport. I am guessing you are flying with Northwest airlines as Detroit and Minneapolis are both Northwest hubs. If that is the case, you will really enjoy the Northwest Terminal at Detroit's airport. It is beautiful, easy to navigate and lots of stores to keep you busy during layovers.

I would also suggest registering for your WolrdPerks card online. WorldPerks is a free frequent flyer awards program. Also keep in mind, on domestic flights depending on the class of your ticket, you can upgrade to first class sometimes for as little as $30.00. So its worth while to find out if your ticket is "upgradeable".

Expect security lines to be extra long and busy for the holidays. The people moving through the lines are not "typical business travelers" and it will take security longer to process people not familiar with the routine. (Coats off/shoes off/laptops out and in a seperate bin..etc)
