You'll get the best deal on flights by booking with airline miles or credit card points. We use sites like roame.travel to search for reward ticket deals. Avoid certain airports that have higher taxes (e.g. LHR) as you will need to pay for those in cash in addition to your points.
For the quickest drive to BSF, be sure to choose routes that stick to the main highways as much as possible. The smaller roads off the main highways are scenic but very windy. Please take your time and drive safely!
