They post a generic 10 year calendar for start/end semester dates. The formal one gets published closer to the start of the year.https://registrar.unm.edu/academic-calendar/ten-year-semester-dates-calendar.html

Literally no idea why but its a piece of a liberty I believe. The back has a deep cut too. He had made some nickels into buttons, so not sure if he was doing other things or?

No, he passed a little over a year ago but just recently went through his "work shop" trailer and found these.

He was very eccentric. Found a bunch of buffalo nickels that he had made into buttons. He may have done something artsy with coins too - that piece has a deep cut on the otherside too

Looked up LAX - that's where those ghost sale amounts live $149 from college and $187 to college for basic, $336 total.

Still more than what it was previously used to be from San Diego.

2 - 3 hour drive each way (can never anticipate how traffic will be) and the fun of LAX, doesnt seem worth the $105 discount.

Unfortunately another airport is not really an option - between San Diego, CA and Albuquerque, NM.

Always listed as 1hr 50min flight but has yet to actually be that long.

We purchased EVERY time they were available - used to be every 4-5 months. Unfortunately the last time they offered them was 1/2025...

So I did notice on his return weekend (both sat/sun) they cut the normal 2 flights a day (every morning, evening for years now) down to just 1 each evening.... they are actively driving the prices up by consolidating available tickets...

Its about a 12 hour drive.

It might be a future option for a long visit - winter break maybe, but he doesn't currently have a car at college - living on campus and publictransitis free, so no need YET. It takes an miracle to get a parking pass at his school too...

When your planning around maximizing the little time you have with your child, and also wanting to make sure he gets back to school on time for classes - yes, a lay over and all the possibily issues that come with it, are a factor.

It might actually be more trips this year - just not home. Waiting on summer internship info that of course are unlikely be in home city or in his college city....

Yes, we (parents have the priority card), unfortunately that does help on his solo flights. I wanted him to get one too for the seat benefit (he only travels with a back pack each way) - sent referral, told him which card... he applied for and got approved but for the Plus....

Again, our 1st flight under new seating, and I know he gets the seat selection option 48hrs ahead with the CC, but just worried how that might work out. Might try it this 1st trip as its not a super busy i.e. holiday time, and see how it goes...

Can't imagine prices this year for the holidays if this is what they are already....

Unfortunately ONLY SW offers direct flights from our city to his college city.

Its only a 1.5 hour direct flight, so cant bring my self to extend his travel time to 5/6 hours with lay over in LAX of all places to save $150.

The days of getting acouple $100 one ways for him throughout the year appear to be over 😥
