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.
You'll also be within walking distance of Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs' downtown strip and the airport. In neighboring cities like Palm Desert, La Quinta and Rancho Mirage, you'll find larger resorts with onsite spas, salons and even lakes, but you'll definitely need a car to get around. There are also plenty of pet-friendly Palm Springs hotels if you're bringing furry travel companions.
