You have the right to deduct ordinary sales taxes on the purchase of a house on Schedule A, if you itemize. Other available deductions are real estate (property) taxes, points you pay to get the mortgage, and mortgage interest.
Still, the airlines that you do have to choose from are high quality, major carriers such as Delta, American Airlines, US Airways, and United. Many cities throughout the U.S. provide direct Palm Springs flights, which allows you to spend less time in the air and more time enjoying the warmth of the desert.
The best time to visit Palm Springs is between January and May, when the daytime temperature reaches the 70s and 80s. During the summer months, the weather can be extremely hot, but many find that time of year to be perfect for a morning hike or exploring indoor attractions such as galleries, museums, and shops.
