when buying a airline ticket on the internet.

when buying a airline ticket on the internet.....???
i got a airline ticket on travelocity.com. i was looking for a flight nonstop from charlotte, nc to boston, ma. but i couldn't find one. I found one but it stops in baltimore. and i saw others that said CHANGE PLANES.. My question is that if it said STOP is just a stop..or do i still need to change the plane??

If it says change planes, then and only then will you change planes. If it says stop it means just stop. It's just to refuel the plane and such.
2 :
you don't need to change planes but you will probably have to deplane and get back on with some new people getting on at baltimore. it just means the two legs have the same flight number. By the way, i don't know if you already tried this, but i'd have gone directly to the usairways website. charlotte is one of usair's hubs, and they do have nonstops to boston.

SHOULD I CHANGE MY CONNECTOR FLIGHT TO MYRTLE ON SATURDAY MORNING

SHOULD I CHANGE MY CONNECTOR FLIGHT TO MYRTLE ON SATURDAY MORNING?
Right now, with Hanna spinning around out there, I'm considering changing my airline reservations. Right now I'm connecting through Washington DC on Saturday morning (will the hurricane detain me there?) or should I change my reservations and connect through Charlotte? (more inland .. and further south)? I hate the idea of being stuck in the airport but the question is, which one would be the better of the two evils? Any ideas? I'm flying United Airlines but the Charlotte connector is a USAir flight.

Question about a connecting flight

Question about a connecting flight.?
I'm flying back from St. Maarten to New Orleans next month. However, US Air wants a staggering amount of money for the tickets. They have a connection through Charlotte and only that one flight a day. I was looking on JetBlue's website and they have a flight through JFK that I can take to catch up with a late night New Orleans flight. However, the JetBlue flights are what the agent said a "published connection." If I make two one way listings, I still would come out cheaper on JetBlue. I would have an hour to make that connection in JFK. Is it a good idea? Would I have enough time with an hour?

Take the published connection. JetBlue is an awesome airline, however, you will be landing in terminal 4 in JFK. From there you would have to go through customs control and then baggage claim. After that, you would have to take the air train in JFK to their new terminal 5 and then check in for your domestic flight to New Orleans. You would miss that connecting flight and you would be stuck in New York for the night. Just take the US Air flight. If it's a published connection, then it gets you in to CLT with ample time to make all necessary connections. Also one more note I'd like to point out about taking a non-published connection is that your bags are not promised to follow you if you try to check them all the way from SXM-MSY
2 :
No because if you dont make the 22nd flight, you are out of luck. If it was a normal connection and you miss it, the airline will rebook you. Or---Maybe book the two seperate flights 24 hours apart and use the savings for a free day in NY. And give yourself a 24 hour extension on the vacation. Will that work?
3 :
Absolutely, as long as you can save money and get to your destination within reasonable time, you should do it. It's a much better option than U.S Airways which is, I don't know why, a very expensive airline.

I suggest you go online and try www.hotwire.com. The fare is really affordable but it can't be change or cancel with a refund nor a credit for another flight.
2 :
Southwest usually has the lowest rates compared to other airlines. I would suggest calling them directly. You can check websites that offer lower rates, but I have had several experiences where when calling the airline they would give cheaper prices than the online so-called "low airfare finders"
3 :
Unfortunately, Southwest serve neither Charlotte or Cancun. Try http://www.farecompare.com/search/year.html?departure=CLT&destination=CUN&p=1 and http://www.cheapflights.com/flights/Cancun/Charlotte-Douglas-Intl/
4 :
Try the following: "Amazing Tours and Travel" It is part of the YTB travel network. I use it all the time because of the great deals. Good luck and have a great day.
5 :
You can try cheapoair.com you might land up with some real cheap fares.... They also comes with the Low Fare Guarantee All the best... pal

When is the most affordable time of year to travel to Europe (flight and hotel-wise)

When is the most affordable time of year to travel to Europe (flight and hotel-wise)?
I'll be leaving from the SE United States. I think Charlotte, NC is about the cheapest airport to leave from. I haven't decided where in Europe i want to go, but iwas thinking Germany....nothing is definite.

Off season time
2 :
If you are travelling to Germany - you will want to visit 'off season' - but depending on where you want to go depends on when 'off season' is... Typically flights are less expensive from March-May... but you will need to do some research & I would recommend figuring out where you want to go (as Germany is a huge country & there is a lot of variety in what to see). We live in the Rheinland-Pfalz state & have many great things to see (castles, vinyards, old medieval/Roman towns) - but some things aren't open during certain months or have more limited hours. If you travel to Bavaria (in the south), ski season is from late October - March (sometimes April). Some major airports in Germany: Frankfurt, Berlin, Cologne (Koln), Munich. Good Luck!
3 :
This depends on where and exactly when you want to go to some extent. In general, tickets are cheaper until about the third week in March and then prices start to go up. I fly back to the US at the end of February for a few days every year, and that's always my cheapest trip back. August and Christmas are peak travel times, so the prices are somewhat higher. You might look at flying into Amsterdam; it's often cheaper than flying in and out of Germany. Once you're in Europe, there are good rail connections and lots of budget airlines to go point-to-point.
4 :
well the cheapest will be in the winter time, cuz noone really likes to ravel t europe in the winter, at least i dont. In the summer time it's ridiculously expensive...
5 :
Forget about flying from Charlotte. You'll likely need to leave from Atlanta or Washington, DC. Or talk to a travel agent - maybe you can get a flight from Charlotte to Germany that goes via New York. Roundtrips to Europe from Washington start at 600 USD, Atlanta should be around 700 to 800 USD (all prices are total, including taxes). Check out Lufthansa, LTU, Condor, Zoom, etc. From Atlanta look into flying to Stuttgart, from New York fly to Frankfurt or London, LTU typically flies to Duesseldorf which is in the Rhine-Ruhr Area and close to Cologne. There are no intercontinental flights to Berlin, going to Berlin by plane would require you to change either in Frankfurt or London. January and March are low season for flights across the Atlantic, November and early December can be good value too if you avoid the Thanksgiving crowds. Book either at least 2 months in advance or hop on a last-minute special. Spring (May) and fall can also be good times to go. Talk to a travel agent about getting tickets to Germany from NC for under 700 USD including taxes. Have them alert you when they can sell you such tickets, buy them and go! Cost of a typical cheap-cheap trip (staying at hostels, eating food from the supermarkets) is around 50 EUR per day and person (roughly 75 USD) in most parts of Western Europe. There is no change, whether you go in summer or winter. Hostels might have winter special rates, but this slight advantage is set off by the fact that many outdoor activities like cycling are impossible or outdoor attractions like parks are closed. If you go in winter, avoid the winter skiing resorts or typical winter destinations like Austria and Switzerland.

You can do one of two things: 1.) Due to their incomplete website, you'll have to call them yourself. 2.) Or you can check the Fayetteville airport.
