No more staycations--you can still afford to get out of town when there's a good deal. Right now, the Los Angeles Convention & Visitors Bureau and Jet Blue have a pretty sweet travel package that allows you to fly from 11 cities (including Seattle) to Long Beach and stay at your pick of L.A. area hotels for way cheap (up to 40% off). Depending on when you fly and where you stay, the price for the flight and one night at a hotel is coming out to ~$200-$500. Book now through May 10th; travel now through August 31, 2009.

Starting this May, JetBlue will begin non-stop service from Seattle to San Diego, Los Angeles, and Long Beach, Calif.
