The property location was great. Communication was amazing. We stayed in the downstairs part of the triplex and were content with everything regarding our stay. Only downside to our stay was that our upstairs neighbors were up both mornings over the weekend from 5 AM-7:30 AM walking, thumping, and moving around a lot making it hard to sleep in on our mini getaway vacation. Otherwise great home like space- beats a hotel with just a bed bathroom and desk so our daughter was able to keep her routine just fine and had space to walk around. Would stay here again.

How to book the cheapest flight to Santa Cruz?
With Orbitz, you’ll find some of the most competitive flight deals around from a wide selection of airlines. But if you’re eager to boost your chances of booking cheap flights to Santa Cruz, here are some suggestions to bear in mind:

  • Depending on where you’re leaving from, select the ‘Nearby airports’ function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). Oftentimes, other departure points offer better value for money.
  • If your plans aren’t carved in stone, click on the ‘Show flexible dates’ option to browse flight deals for multiple departure dates. Go with any suitable cheaper fare that pops up.
  • Select ‘Show options’ to refine your search results. You can pick your preferred airline and seating class here. Under ‘Sort & Filter’ to the left, you can even select whether you want to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening.
  • The early bird catches the best savings, so purchase your seats once you’ve settled on your travel dates. The most affordable airfares sell out quickly and prices increase as the departure date gets closer.
  • Think about combining your hotels, flights and car rental into an Orbitz package deal to stretch your budget even further.
  • Whenever possible, avoid traveling during the busy season. Airfares are often at their highest during summer, school breaks and other vacation periods like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Pick up a bargain and book your tickets to Santa Cruz in January. If you’ve missed this month, you’re still in luck. February and August often have low airfares available, too. Make sure you don’t sleep on a sale — cheap flights pop up and vanish in the blink of an eye!
What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Santa Cruz?
Get a great flight deal by making a booking on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday. Typically, these are the best days to score cheap airfares to Santa Cruz.
What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Santa Cruz?

We’ll show you airlines that offer free cancellation and no change fees — all on top of our awesome low prices.
What do I need for the flight to Santa Cruz?
From onboard activities to travel necessities like hand sanitizer, there are a number of things a regular flyer won’t leave home without. To make sure you’re organized for your flight, check out this helpful list:

  • Travel documents such as e-tickets and identification are essential. To avoid any last-minute delays at check-in, make certain your booking is made with the same name, gender and birth date as indicated on your government-issued ID.
  • A well-packed carry-on bag is a must for any lengthy flight. With at least a few hours up your sleeve, you’ll probably long for something to keep you busy while in the air. We recommend a good book or magazine, and something to nibble on.
  • Together, air conditioning and high altitudes can form a cool environment (and we don’t mean trendy!). No matter what the season is, carry an extra layer with you to keep warm and cozy during the journey.

  • Being flexible doesn’t just help with your yoga. Have some room to move around your travel dates so you can snap up more affordable airfares when they crop up.
  • Search for a low-cost airline that offers business-class seats. They usually come with extra space and a glass of bubbly — and a more attractive price.
  • Bid for an upgrade in online auctions or upgrade your seat through your loyalty program.
