Discount Flight info
Maryland is a great destination for discount travel, one reason being the number of cities within close proximity of each other.
For instance, for a discount flight from San Diego, California to Ocean City, Maryland, it may be cheaper to get a round trip flight to Philadelphia, Washington DC, or Baltimore, then take ground transportation (about $40 on Greyhound with an online purchase) from there.
On the other hand, if you fly into Norfolk, Virginia and take a bus to Ocean City from there, it costs about $75 more.
For even bigger savings, purchase your ticket on
priceline.com at least two weeks in advance.
Taking advantage of Priceline's promotional features can lower the cost of your airfare by as much as 40 percent, and the cost of your hotel room by as much as 60 percent.
