MMISA, My fiance and I are also from So Cal and we booked directly through Alaska Airlines Vacations. We called their vacations department and set up a "Wedding Account" and they emailed us a 7% discount code for any of our guests booking through them. After you set it up, it takes about two weeks to get the code emailed to you. All our guests have booked using this discount code we gave them. Also when we have checked the price after we booked and the total price for the package went down, we called Alaska Vacation and they gave us refunds for the difference! With Alaska Vacations you can book the flights, RIU Palace (or Santa Fe), and transportation all at the same time! And guest do not have to travel the same dates..they can pick what dates work for them and still get the 7% off!!! Hope this helps as well!! -Tara
