If your dates are flexible, you might want to check day-to-day and be ready to go if a cheap flight appears. Sometimes the price will drop right before the flight day if the flight isn't full.



You may also want to try alternative airports and linking with a train.
If you fly regular economy, your ticket will be from $1000-$1800 per person. It's cheaper when you book your flight with your hotel.



I found one for $1200 but you'll have to make 3 stops:

From this point on, there is no such thing as "cheap"
