What should I be paying for a flight from Charlotte, NC to France

What should I be paying for a flight from Charlotte, NC to France?
I can't find much cheaper than 1100. Is this reasonable? If not, how do I get a better deal. I have to travel on a certain date, so its not flexible.

What's a good price for a flight from Charlotte NC to Detroit MI

What's a good price for a flight from Charlotte NC to Detroit MI?
I want to fly from Charlotte, North Carolina to Detroit, Michigan this July and I was wondering what a good price for a round trip ticket would be, since I've never bought an airline ticket. Like, how do you get the lowest possible price? Are there any secrets?

I've booked that same flight a few times. As far as price?? It's been about a year, but I'm thinking you're going to be in the $300 range for roundtrip. I have found that it is cheaper sometimes to fly out of Greensboro, or Raleigh/Durham, but Raleigh is a little too far to drive. First go to Yahoo Travel and find the better deals and take note of them: Then Go directly to the airlines website: i.e. www.southwest.com or www.nwa.com so that you can avoid paying the extra fees that the agencies tack on. oh and if your final destination is North of Detroit (oakland or macomb counties) then you might consider flying into Flint, MI airport!! Good Luck!

Price line says that if you depart On July 1st and return on the 5th you will pay anywhere from 319-381.

I would like to fly out of the Charlotte County Airport in Punta Gorda, Fla to fly to San Antonio, TX. I can't find who to call or email. I keep getting dircted to these "cheap flight" companies that deal with large commercial carriers.

Skybus went out of business The only flights out of Punta Gorda these days are Allegiant Air (Greenville/Spartanburg, Knoxville) Direct Air operated by Virgin America (Allentown, Chicago-Rockford, Kalamazoo, Myrtle Beach, Niagara Falls, Toledo, Worcester, Plattsburgh) Neither of these airlines will get you close to San Antonio. Either you will have to buy two tickets or drive to Fort Myers or Sarasota or even Tamps.

If I buy a plane ticket with a layover in Charlotte can I just board the flight in Charlotte

If I buy a plane ticket with a layover in Charlotte can I just board the flight in Charlotte?
A US Airways direct flight that departs from Charlotte costs $850. However, if I buy a ticket departing Raleigh earlier in the day and layover in Charlotte and take the exact same flight as previously mentioned out of Charlotte it costs $550. Can I not just buy the ticket departing from Raleigh, but then board in Charlotte. I live much closer to Charlotte.

No, the moment you do you don't board the flight in Raleigh, the entire trip is cancelled. That is the law.
2 :
The short answer is "No." The slightly longer answer is that as soon as your originating flight departs (without you,) the rest of your reservation will be canceled, and you will get nothing for your $550.
3 :
As soon as you fail to board your original flight at RDU, your entire reservation (including the return) is automatically cancelled. This is based on airline policies, and not due to federal law, as is claimed incorrectly by AJ -- the vast majority of airlines prohibit this practice (known as hidden-city ticketing) by their own policies and contracts.
4 :
airlines tend to prohibit this, so i very much doubt you can do it. exactly why they do that is another issue, maybe so that they can re-sell the ticket if people do not turn up for the first leg
5 :
If you don't board at Raleigh, then the airlines will think you are a no-show and cancel your entire itinerary. I can understand where you are coming from but what you are proposing will not work. Where I live, Delta controls most flights and therefore they charge a premium to fly with them.
