How to Find Cheap Airfare to Burning Man

burningman1Let’s just say you’ve heard tales of a week-long festival in the desert where people enjoy an anything-goes attitude, release their inner performance artist, and cap the week off by burning a giant sculpture of a man. This event appeals to your bohemian side, but you don’t live anywhere near the Nevada desert – so that means you’ll need to book a flight. But just how do you find cheap airfare to Burning Man, anyway?

Burning Man may take place in what can accurately be called “the middle of nowhere” – the deserts of northern Nevada – but it’s actually reasonably close to the Reno-Tahoe airport. If you’re close enough to hop into a carpool with other Burning Man attendees, that’s great – but if you’re not, having an airport nearby means you can at least get closer before you have to seek out a carpool.

Because Burning Man takes place over a popular holiday weekend each year, and because the airport that’s nearest is also close to a popular weekend travel destination, finding cheap airfare to Burning Man might take a bit more work than you would otherwise anticipate. The tips listed below will help you find cheap flights to Burning Man – and they’re also useful for finding cheap airfare almost no matter when or where you’re traveling.

>> Burning Man 2012 is from August 29 through September 5

Save on Flights to Lake Tahoe

lake-tahoe.jpgWhen you are swooshing down the mountain at speeds of 40 mph, cutting a nasty path through the fresh powder and feeling the glorious sun beat down on your face, take a moment to look around and thank your lucky stars that a place like Lake Tahoe exists. The mountains, the blue lake that looks almost unreal, the copious amounts of snow, and the days of bright sunshine; these are all reason enough to get down on your knees at night and to offer up thanks to the ski gods.

Tahoe is a great destination just about any time of year, but it is during the winter months when a special place becomes even more special. Of course, it isn’t perfect. There can be significant crowds on the weekends and standing in lines with grumpy, impatient urbanites can be a real buzzkill, but all in all you probably won’t complain if you book yourself on one of the cheapie flights from Southwest Airlines and you head to Lake Tahoe for some winter fun.

The flights actually fly into nearby Reno, which offers up its own joys if you are into gambling, copious amounts of smoking, prostitution and all-u-can eat buffets. Combine Reno with the natural joys of Tahoe and you can experience the best of both worlds in one easy trip.
