Can I walk from San Jose Airport to the Santa Clara Caltrain Station? And if so, how long will it take

Can I walk from San Jose Airport to the Santa Clara Caltrain Station? And if so, how long will it take?
I'd like to not take a bus or taxi. I have a flight that arrives at San Jose at 4:23 and I want to make the 4:44 train out of Santa Clara Caltrain station. I don't have to wait for the baggage claim since all I'll have is a carry-on.

No, you can't walk, it's over 4 miles away. Well, I mean, you can, but you sure won't make it in 20 mins! Best to take a taxi. Here is a walking route: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Santa+Clara&1s=ca&1a=1001+Railroad+Ave&2qn=San+Jose+Intl+Airport&2c=San+Jose&2s=CA&2a=1732+N+1st+St&2z=95112&2y=US&2l=37.36672&2g=-121.925934&2id=41669111#a/maps/l::1001+Railroad+Ave:Santa+Clara:CA:95050-4319:US:37.352001:-121.937258:address:Santa+Clara+County:1/l:San+Jose+Intl+Airport:1732+N+1st+St:San+Jose:CA:95112:US:37.36672:-121.925934:address::1/m::11:37.361086:-121.92759:0:::::1:1:1::/io:1:::::f:EN:M:/e

I agree that you can't walk it in twenty minutes. Even if it were, barely possible, the 4:23 arrival time of your plane means that the plane is expected to touch down at that time. The plane will still have to taxi to the terminal, everyone will have to debark from the plane, you'll have to make your way out of the terminal, and then, you will find yourself on the wrong side of the airport. And this assumes the plane will arrive on time. It could take you twenty minutes or more from the touchdown to you even reaching the terminal exit. It might take you an additional twenty to thirty minutes to get off of the airport grounds, and another half hour to forty-five minutes to get to the Cal Train station. Check out if there is a free airport shuttle from SJC to the San Jose, Diridon Station. San Jose train station is just the next stop, South of the Santa Clara station. I KNOW that there is a free shuttle to the VTA light rail station. The light rail will take you right inside the San Jose CalTrain station. The good news is that, during commuter times, trains arrive and leave every fifteen minutes or so. So, if you miss the train, there will be another arriving and leaving soon after.

I went to kayak.com and guessed at a date. Spirit is a little cheaper but since it isnt that big a difference you are far better off with JetBlue/ 300 is about rock-bottom
2 :
you may try http://www.europeanvacation3.com for cheap flight tickets as it's search over 450 sites for price comparison and which would help to choose cheap flight tickets from those search result.
3 :
I would say that $300 is a great price and would buy the ticket immediately. I doubt you can find a cheaper priced ticket.
4 :
In fact, various airlines such as Continental, US Airways and United offer the same price (total price). Here are a few examples: Travelocity: 298 $ on July 1 , Return July 28 with United (and about the same price with Continental, Delta, or AA). TerminalA : 310 $ (213 GBP) on July 4 Return July 31 with US Airways Opodo : 310 $ (213 GBP) on June 30 Return July 29 with Continental

check http://flyairfares.com you can get coupons there go to websites of all low cost carriers operating there and search or just use the search engine on flyairfares.com

Orbitz.com kayak.com If you are willing to drive to Buffalo, NY and fly from there, you may save money, and in that case also check Southwest.com You may also consider arriving in Oakland, CA or San Francisco, CA, since they are very close to San Jose, if you can find considerably cheaper flights to those places.

Ive used selloffairlines.com before they have pretty good last minute rates from t.o

Can I book a round trip flight going to LAX-Los Angeles CA, and leaving from San Jose

Can I book a round trip flight going to LAX-Los Angeles CA, and leaving from San Jose.?
I want to book a round trip flight from New York to Los Angeles Airport and coming back I want to depart from San Jose airport to New York. Any tips on how to do this. I have tried the travel sites, but they usually don't have an option for airports you want to arrive at and depart at. And buying 2 one-way tickets seems to be more expensive. Any advice on the easiest way to do this.

Actually, what you are looking for is possible with all of the major travel sites -- you need to choose the "multi-city" option, which will allow you to book flights with multiple stops, or different arrival/destination airports. For a multi-city search in your instance, you'd want to choose NYC-LAX for the first flight and SJC-NYC for the second.

Yes you can do that. It's called multi-city. You did not specify which date but I tried on April 9-11 and the best price I can find is at $604. How much is your budget, btw?
