The cost really depends,the cheapest would be $350 dollars round. And depending on airlines..and fares.
2 :
The price of a ticket depends not only on your departure date and cities, but also the specific day you're returning. (For example, since you're asking about the Friday before a three-day weekend in the US, it may be more expensive to fly back the following Monday than it would be, for example, if you waited until Wednesday to come home.) Thus, without saying when you want to come back, it's hard for anyone here to give you a specific price. You can go to a website such as travelocity.com, expedia.com, orbitz.com, or kayak.com, put in your specific travel dates (both departure and return) as well as the cities, and see what specific prices return for the days you want to travel. The closest airport to Plano with commercial service is Love Field (DAL) in downtown Dallas, about 20 miles from Plano -- there are nonstops from there to Memphis on Delta Airlines. You may also wish to check availability from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), which is located between Dallas and Fort Worth (north of Arlington), about 30 miles from Plano.

Why does it cost twice more to fly from A to B than from A to C even though I have a layover in B

Why does it cost twice more to fly from A to B than from A to C even though I have a layover in B?
I want to fly from Grand Rapids, MI to Orlando, FL. The flight has a layover in Memphis. The flight coast $224. But, if I want to fly from GRR to Memphis ONLY, it cost $504. Why is that?

1 :
Orlando is a city where lots of leisure travelers fly to. Leisure travelers are more price sensitive. Also Orlando has a lot of discount airlines flying there. Memphis is controlled by Delta and does not have many discount airlines there. Because of that, ticket prices are higher.
2 :
All sorts of reasons. At root, there is no logic and it depends more on market conditions - as potatochip says, the fact that Orlando has more leisure travellers means more travellers there want cheap tickets and are not willing to pay if they can't afford it - they just go somewhere else - while business travellers HAVE to go where they need to go and can be made to pay up. So competition forces prices down to leisure destinations. Distance ends up having little to do with it. Add to that, most of the costs of a flight are to do with take-off and landing. We get a bit of the same phenomenon here in the UK with train tickets.

I believe Patricia is correct. And Scottie is right. Guam is already part of the US (even though not part of the mainland and so far away from it) so that's where will most likely have to go through customs. My experience though is that I haven't been to Guam yet, I have flew to the US via Hawaii and we went through customs in Honolulu, the flight from Hawaii to the US Mainland is of course a domestic flight, so no need to go through customs.
10 :
Honolulu. You will be "pre-screened" in Guam.
11 :
I just flew that same route in June- Manila-Guam-Honolulu-Houston. You get "pre-screened" in Guam and then go through customs in Hawaii. It is a real annoyance, until I started thinking about it. Your body absorbs a lot of radiation in high altitude. Dipping down to land again and again has several bonuses. You do not absorb nearly as much radiation and you get to get off the plane and stretch your legs- quite a bit. I bought and mailed some postcards in Guam (not much else to do there- no wifi). I have flown direct before, Manila- LAX- and my feet swelled quite a bit sitting for 16 hours. I kind of like the multiple stops. You get a little view of Hawaii when you land there- as you go completely out of the airport- then re-enter for boarding security checks again. It isn't a bad deal. Continental has better customer service than American- for sure. I am going to opt for multiple stops for my next trip- April.

Not Guam. You will clear in Honolulu.

Wanna hear some Funny In Flight Announcements

Wanna hear some Funny In Flight Announcements?
1. "As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses." 2. "Last one off the plane must clean it." 3. After landing: "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride." 4. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. Whoa!" 5. After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced: "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted." 6. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX to YYY. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with two small children, decide now which one you love more." 7. "Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but they'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you or your money more than Southwest Airlines." 8. "Your seat cushions can be used for flotation. In the event of an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments." 9. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only four ways out of this airplane." 10. Pilot: "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land. It's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern." 11. From the pilot during his welcome message: "We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately none of them are on this flight." 12. This was overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day. During the final approach, the captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the flight attendant came on the PA and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seatbelts fastened while the captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!" 13. Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal." 14. An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a, "Thanks for flying XYZ airline." He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, did we land or were we shot down?" 15. After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the flight attendant got on the PA and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt up against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal." 16. Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at US Airways."

Is 30 minutes enough time to catch a connecting flight

Is 30 minutes enough time to catch a connecting flight?
I dont travel often so I don't know. What do you think? The airport is Memphis, TN (MEM). The one flight arrives at 7:43am and the other flight leaves at 8:11am.
Air Travel - 9 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Not really, most airlines close their gates 20 minutes before departure, and unless the gate of your first arriving flight is right near your connecting flights gate, you probably won't make it. If your 1st flight is just a few minutes late as many are, you don't have a chance. One hour between flights is probably the minimum amount of time you should leave yourself for connecting flights.
2 :
J, here is the deal on this. If this is a connection on the same airline, then it probably will be OK, as there is not a long walk between the two aircraft, and you will be checked in on both aircraft at your origin. The airline will know that you are on-board the inbound aircraft. If this schedule popped up when you checked availability, then it will be OK. You will just have to hustle to change aircraft. The walk will not be that much distance. Regards, Dan
3 :
In words of one syllable - No. Most airlines expect you to check in at least 30 min before departure and boarding stats 20 min before departure.. You will be checked through, but depending on where you are seated on the first flight it can take at least 10 min to get off, even assuming that by some miracle the flight arrives on time. You then have to change gates. 30 minutes is too fine a margin.
4 :
o gosh no!! u need to make changes not even 2 hours is enough you wont be able to catch it
5 :
I had this happen to me once. I had to run though the airport in order to catch my flight before the gate closes, which was in 10 minutes because the gate closes 20 minutes before the plane departs. I managed to make it in time...barely and that was because it was so late at night that there was almost no one in the terminal. I suggest you find another connecting flight that gives you more time to connect.
6 :
No way.
7 :
No. Memphis is not fun to navigate around. And since you're likely Flying northwest, you will probably be delayed.
8 :
The terminal at Memphis is really tiny, but even so that's pretty tight. Are the two flights on the same carrier? Bought as one itinerary? The reason I ask is that they won't sell you a ticket for a connection they don't think you can (normally) make. It would be bad business to do so. Also the 20 minute cutoff does not apply to that situation.
9 :
If you are buying the ticket and are given a 30 minute connection time, then no problem. The airlines knows how much time it takes to connect. The airline I worked for had a 20 minute minimum connection time. If you are buying two separate tickets, you will want more time. You may have to check in again in Memphis, and possibly re-check your bags.

I have a connection going from Atlanta to Cincinnati in Memphis. The connection time is 38 min. Is this good?
Both flights are on Delta and the airport website says all Delta flights are on Concourse A in Memphis Airport. So is 38 minutes enough time to connect in Memphis before going to Cincinnati? Flight date is a Thursday and gets into Memphis at 918 and leaves for Cincinnati at 9:56. Help Please!

You have to realize that flights board 30 min. before they take off and close sometimes about ten minutes before take off time. If the terminals are close, then you will make it, but if the plane has trouble parking, which happens more often than you think, you could really be cutting it close. This would make me a little nervous, but you will probably make it.
2 :
It is possible that the plane you arrive in Memphis on is also the plane that you will leave Memphis on, in which case they would have to wait til you got there to leave anyways! You might be able to find out if this is the case by calling the airline.

Well, apparently there is not enough traffic between London and Memphis to justify any direct flights - at least not that I could find on the major carriers.

why would travelocity.com sell an airfare if the seat chart indicates that there are no available seats left

why would travelocity.com sell an airfare if the seat chart indicates that there are no available seats left?
I'm looking for a flight from Memphis,tn to Jakarta, Indonesia in the middle of May. and I found a really cheap flight. but when I clicked on the seat chart, it showed that there were no available seats to be assigned. but I also notice this on the seat chart..."Not all flights have Seat Map technology." could this mean that there are available seats but they're just not showing it for this particular flight?

Airlines overbook flights.
2 :
Travelocity buys flights and hotel rooms from companies in bulk for cheaper rates. That is how they are able to give them to you for a discount. If travelocity isn't able to sell the flights and hotel rooms that they have bought then they just eat it and make no money on it.
3 :
travelocity is just in it for the money. i hate that stupid gnome. They are so cheap they wont even pay a celebrity to go their commercials... just a stupid gnome.
4 :
the may be over-selling the flight...that is the most likeley cause. so this is my advice; if you really want to be on that plane, go to a travle agent or buy it from the airlines website.n They will be more expensive but if you show up att he airport, they want to 'bump' people and you show your ticket at check in with travelocity on it....they will try to bump you as you took the cheaper way out.
5 :
Standard airline policy. Overbooking. That will cover them for cancellations and other consequences. Unless you MUST have that particular flight date, I wouldn't worry. Be flexible if you can. If NOT then find another airline that is not so cheap but will guarantee a seat.
6 :
A common reason for this is the fact that airlines hold back blocks of seats for assignment at check-in. This would mean that, despite the conspiracy theories posted above, Travelocity would be able to book a confirmed ticket for you, but would not be able to allocate a seat. That latter would be done at the airport when you check-in. The reason the airlines hold back seats is so they can group families together who hadn't previously reserved specific seats, plus emergency exit rows are usually blocked off until they can see the person requesting the seat (can they open the door in an emergency?), and also any "better" seats they can reserve for their frequent flyers who weren't able to get an upgrade. Look at the seating chart and see if there appear to be several rows missing in the number sequence. That is often a way that airlines use to block off seats.
7 :
I often cannot pick seats until closer to the flight, even with booking directly on an airline's website. So I expect it is just that Travelocity cannot let you pick your seat right now, not that they have oversold.

If you have no checked luggage, then yes. But note that this is against the airline's rules and if they catch you, they might try and make you pay for the single leg you flew.

you could get off but your luggage would (your luggage would end up back in little rock.. and if the airline finds out you are doing they could cancel your flight but you said the return so that is good chance you might get away with but you might also incidentally hold up the connecting flight because the airline might start looking for you if you dont show up for that connecting flight perhaps even has the airport police search for you or page you and of course you wont be able to check luggage that way either it depends on the airline a

Yes you can...just throw away the unused ticket. But it has to be on the return...if you no-show any leg the airline automatically cancels any downline space that you have confirmed. Also, be careful if you are checking bags...

Cheapest flight ticket

Cheapest flight ticket !!!?
I am looking for a cheapest flight ticket to Memphis, Tennessee. I want an airline names or websites not a search link like expedia, cheaptickets, bookingbuddy, etc. Please be specific. Southwest does have a flight to Memphis. The closest is Nashville, in which is three hours drive away. We'll be leaving from LAX either 13 or 14 of August. The tickets get more expensive some because of the Elvis Week. I booked a ticket with Northwest last year for only $324 (tax included) per person. Now it's like $630 per person. Is there something cheap like that available now? I really need your help !

If this is one way then the cheapest is $190 with Airtran Pinpointtravel.com is powered by Kayak and it gives you all of the airlines that travels to your destination and the cheapest prices. Always remember to buy you airfare from the Airline directly for two reasons. One- the third party sites have to make their money somehow and so they charge you 5 dollars more htan the regular fare (people never realize this) 2) in case there is any problems, you will deal with the airline directly and not a third party.Also, this time of the morning is the best time to find the cheapest air fares. http://www.pinpointtravel.com/s/flights.jsp?searchid=51X0NDQBMYFARaoW2$vSmQ&completed=true

To Memphis? No, more often to Chicago, or DFW, or New York. Or LAX, or DTW. Rarely to Memphis. Even from many "international airports" one often has to take a domestic hop before continuing to one's foreign destination. There are many international airports in the United States where "international" just means there are flights to Canada, or to Mexico, or to a few countries in the Americas. In some cases all "international" means is that the airport is certified to handle international flights - even though there currently aren't any. So why does't Arkansas have internaional airports? No (sufficient) demand, pure and simple.

Because there isn't much demand out of Arkansas

flight question

flight question?
ok, I'm flying for the first time as an adult (the first time since like, 1998) and I am taking one flight from Dayton, Ohio to Atlanta, Georgia, then transfering, after a layout to a flight to Memphis, Tn. My question is: Do I need to get my own luggage after I land in Atlanta and re-check it in for the flight to Memphis? It is the same carrier and I booked as one trip, with a connection. Thanks in advance. Oh, and any other travel tips would be great, such as the amounts of liquids permitted through security, etc. For the answerer who said she could give me more info, it isn't Delta, its AirTran, but here is the info. I'm really nervous and any help would be great: June 15, 2007, Flight 414 [Non-Stop] Departing Dayton, OH (DAY) at 7:01 PM Arriving Atlanta, GA (ATL) at 8:36 PM --- Connecting To --- June 15, 2007, Flight 527 [Non-Stop] Departing Atlanta, GA (ATL) at 11:10 PM Arriving Memphis, TN (MEM) at 11:26 PM

As far as your luggage is concerned, generally your luggage will make it to your destination before you do. You DO NOT pick up your luggage you just go directly to your connecting flight. I would suggest bringing only a few items with you, you can carry one hand held purse (lap top) and one carry on luggage. I would recommend bringing personal items and one small set of clothes just in case something were to happen in ATL and you have to overnight there. I work for Comair the Delta Connection and we usually do the DAY-ATL-MEM connections. I know how the market in ATL can be especially with the past few days worth of weather in the Northeast. What people don't realize is that your pilots could reach ATL and potentially time-out before they can continue onto the next leg of the flight. ATL is a huge airport, call to see if you can find out what gate you are going to land in and what gate you'll be going out of so that you can give yourself enough time. If you know the flight numbers I can give you that information. Good luck and enjoy your trip! MEM is an amazing place to visit!
2 :
No, airlines will have your luggage go straight to your final destination. Just make sure when you check-in that they do that. Check here for any air travel questions you may have: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/index.shtm
3 :
You really should have no problem w/ your luggage, unless you are transfering to a differnt airport once in GA wich I doubt. Usually they will send your luggage directly to your final destination as soon as you check in. If you have any other questions you should probably check with the airline and tell them what your itinerary looks like and they will check everything out for you. By the way, you are permitted to go through security with liquids, gels, lotions, or aerosols just as long as they are in 3oz. tubes or bottles or less. They must ALL fit in one large ziplock bag. This includes: tooth paste, lip glosses, lotions, medicines, hair gels/ sprays, baby food, or anything that is water based. To save you time, have everything ready by the time you get there, that will speed up the process. I hope this has helped. Enjoy your flight!

Can I miss a flight and get on the next

Can I miss a flight and get on the next?
I am flying from Wilmington, NC to Memphis, TN. There is a connecting flight in Charlotte. I was wondering, can I skip the flight in Wilmington and get on the flight in Charlotte to Memphis? I will be flying US Airways. Thank you.
Air Travel - 5 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
No. Once you skip one flight in your itinerary, you lose all subsequent flights. I believe this is a FAA regulation and has to do with safety, and nothing that all the airlines have decided to do for themselves.
2 :
Normally no. It depends on your ticket though, so contact the airline.
3 :
Nope, As soon as you do not get on the aircraft in Wilmington, your entire ticket is cancelled, including the return flight. This is Federal Law.
4 :
As soon as you skip the first segment, the remaining segments will automatically be cancelled and all value to the ticket will automatically be lost. Buying an airline ticket with the intention of only using part is called "throwaway ticketing" and is a disallowed practice on virtually all airlines worldwide. Airlines enforce this practice by specifying that no-shows are subject to cancellation in the fare rules -- it has nothing to do (as erroneously pointed out in other answers) with federal law. There are no federal laws or regulations requiring airlines to cancel reservations for no-shows -- the existence of the policy is wholly due to airline enforcement of their own terms and conditions governing the tickets they sell.
5 :
You should call US Airways and tell them that you won't be using the first flight, you're going to be in the Charlotte area or whatever. They can cancel out your first flight and you can use it again within a year. The sooner you call the better. Let them know your situation and see what they can do. Most times they'll note your reservation and you can just use your Charlotte to Memphis segment.

If you fail to show up for any leg of a plane trip, the airline will automatically cancel the remainder of the trip. Also, if you have checked any luggage, you will not be able to retrieve it until the final destination. Not a good idea in any case.

You could walk out at MEM on your return, that would work fine. But outbound, if you don'tboard at LIT, you very likely will not be able to board at MEM.. Sorry.

Is 35 minutes enough time to connect flights at the Memphis International airport

Is 35 minutes enough time to connect flights at the Memphis International airport?
The departure time of my flight is only 35 minutes after the arrival time of my first flight. I will be on Northwest airlines!
Air Travel - 11 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
It is cutting it close but as long as you are on time it should be okay. I have cut it closer at Atlanta.
2 :
yes. most of the time if a flight is gonna cut it close they will wait for the flight. Dont count on time to eat or go to the bathroom etc. but if the flight is on time you will have enough time. It will also make your travel day go by very quickly :)
3 :
I've only been to the airport twice and that was when I visited my best friend who moved to Memphis. If I remember correctly, I do not think the airport is HUGE. It is large but not huge like Charlotte International Airport(ugh I hate this airport). 35 minutes is not a lot of time for a person to catch their connection in any situation but it can be done, especially if your flight is not delayed. My suggestion would be to see if you can look at the terminal map of the Memphis International Airport so you can see exactly where you would need to go. If you are on time though, I think you will be alright.
4 :
You will be cutting it very close. Here's what you should do: before your flight, print out a picture, online, of the Memphis International Airport, that way you will know your way around when you arrive there. If you don't get lost, then you will definately make it on time! But print out that picture, know where your going, and you wont have any issues!
5 :
You only have to worry about getting yourself to the connecting flight since the airlines will take care of your luggage so you should have enough time. Usually if the airlines builds their flights with that kind of a connection it means you are probably arriving and departing the same terminal. If you are uncomfortable you could call the airlines and see if they have a longer connection...
6 :
Memphis is TINY compared to, say, Atlanta. You should have no trouble. Is this a true "connection"? Were the flights booked together? The airline won't sell you a ticket for a connection they don't expect you to be able to make. It causes them too much trouble.
7 :
Doubt it, the way flights are always delayed and late these days.
8 :
Airlines determine how much time is needed to connect. They will not sell you a flight where you do not have enough time. The Memphis airport may be huge (not sure) but you do not have to cross the whole thing. Likely your gates will be very close to each other. This will only be a problem if your first flight is delayed. If you are taking the last flight of the day, you might want to go standby on an earlier flight so you have more connection time.
9 :
Do not ever take this kinda risk. Im a travel agent and always tell my traveler to allow at least 1hr for transit. You shouldn't just look at the size of the airport. You also need to consider how effective the airport operations is. With only 35mins, you have no time to buffer if your flight is late or you are given a last row seat for your previous plane and the people in front of you moves are super slow speed. And Northwest isnt always on time..what if your flight is slightly late, like 10mins? It might not mean much to most people, but is crucial in your situation. Im sure you dont want to feel like you are in the amazing race. Besides, if everything goes smoothly, you might be left wondering whether they have enough time to move your luggage.
10 :
Northwest isn't the most on time airline, but, weather in memphis is usually good and traffic doesn't get bad in the day time.
11 :
You didn't say were you are connecting on to and it depends on a number of things. If it is domestic to domestic and NW to NW you should be OK but if it is NW to another carrier probably not enough time. As well, if it is to an international flight for sure not enough. The other thing is that it depends how you booked this i.e. expedia etc. sometimes these sites give you the cheapest fares but the connections are legal. You should call NW and double check. Have a good trip!

Airlines train their own, and do now want anyone from some third party airline school. Those are a scam. First she has to be selected by an airline, then they will send her to their own training school. She will need enough money to live on for the duration of her training, as she won't get paid in that time. Employment will be conditional on her successfully completing her training.
2 :
Given the state of the commercial airlines and regional, I would highly suggest that you mom looks at Net Jets from Teteboro NJ or any corpoate jet opportunities

All flight attendant training schools are scams. The airlines train there own employees.(Since all most all airlines use different aircrafts and also have different safety procedures)The training normally takes 1 to 3 months depending on the airline. But you absolutely do not have to pay for your living expenses. Your mother will be put up in a hotel near the airlines hub. She will have to pay for food. But lodging and transportation are provided. The first step to obtaining a Flight Attendant position is: -1. Go on-line to different airlines websites (Delta, AirTran, United, Southwest, Northwest, AA, Continental. etc) check and make sure your mom meets all the requirements ( Height, weight, strength, second language, criminal background. etc) -2. Fill out on-line application. (since all airlines now start the process this way) -3. Wait for the series of interviews most airlines have at least two. -4. Make sure mom has a valid passport, *can lift 50-70lbs over her head, *make sure all medications she is taking won't interfere with her job. (get dr's note) *Can bend down and reach the ground Good Luck and I hope this helps.

Airlines train their own employees through a couple month program, depending on the airline and duties of flight attendants. Northwest Airlines has a hub in Memphis so I would check nwa.com for further information.

If you booked your ticket prior to October 1, 2010 it will be slightly cheaper to do this online. This is the link to their site which explains the costs: http://www.usairways.com/en-US/traveltools/baggage/baggagepolicies.html Since 9/11 there have been a whole raft of things you cannot carry as hand luggage, which can travel in checked luggage added to the general exclusions that were in force before.

If you fly from Memphis, TN to San Diego, CA, on a commercial airline, there might not be any direct flights.. instead, you might have to make one stopover, which adds to your overall travel time. Looking at orbitz, i found that taking Northwest Airlines from Memphis to San Diego, via Minneapolis took about 6.5 to 9 hours. Using America West to fly through Phoenix (more direct) takes 5.3 hours. Flying American Airlines through Dallas takes about 6 hours. Going through Denver or Houston takes about 6 hours. Remember that your return trip from San Diego to Memphis might take less time, because of better air currents and the rotation of the earth, or just better connections. now, if you are chartering a direct jet flight between memphis and san diego, expect it to take less than the times listed.

The 3 Delta flights on Monday, the 18th January, 2010 between Memphis (MEM) and Omaha (OMA) were marketed as codeshare flights by Delta, and actually operated by Pinnacle Airlines. Delta flight DL 7071 at 8:45am was in fact Pinnacle 9E4053. Delta flight DL 7056 at 2:35pm was in fact Pinnacle 9E3978 Delta flight DL 2701 at 6:40pm was in fact Pinnacle 9E3792

try american airlines, especially if u can connect in dallas. the competition from southwest in dallas forces american to give dirt cheap prices if u go through Dallas since both have huge operations there. northwest operates a hub in memphis, but they could be more expensive as they control alot of the traffic...southwest if u can go nonstop, otherwise, southwest gets expensive. or try to fly to nashville.

Try northwest airlines as their hub is at MEM

Hey, I'm a flight attendant w/American Airlines. Check 1800flycheep, & always ask for the: LOWEST POSSIBLE FARE.
2 :
I don't think there is a guarantee on finding lowest rate. I have found rates, went to make reservations and in the mean time the rates went up. I got the cheapest rates I could find through Sam's Club. They have a travel agency.
3 :
I would definitely advise you to book for flights with either Expedia.com http://expedia.com/ or Travelocity http://travelocity.com/. They have the cheapest fares around - and the service is user friendly, and you have many choices of flights, especially if the route is popular. Bon Voyage! P.S. A high possibly that fares would be cheap on Northwest Airlines, but still consult.
4 :
Northwest Airlines does this route (I'm flying it next week). If you book 21 days advance you will save major $$. Also Northwest now promises lowest price for the airlines. If you find their flight any cheaper else where they will pay the difference. http://www.nwa.com As for SkyK I'm with you... Sorry Chrysitina, American Airlines is at the bottom of my list. Too many trips with too many problems, including rude flight attendants. I'll pay more just to not fly with them!
5 :
Northwest flies it non-stop but they arent known for being cheap. Try AirTran maybe thru Atlanta

This website is your friend. http://www.utopia.worldventures.com If you have any question about it working look at my "best answers" on my profile. It has helped quite a few people. Not knowing what dates you are flying makes it tough to really give you a price because certain days are more expensive than others, plus don't know if it is something far out or just a few days away(which is more expensive)

Here's the kayak search for your flight: http://www.kayak.com/s/flights.jsp?searchid=ky02MR__wZIA9zrFIeXE&completed=true Air Tran and Northwest both have $164 fares. Too bad you can't fly out of Nashville...Southwest flies there and they have the lowest flights anywhere.
5 :
Fortunately Southwest DOES NOT fly to Atlanta. You need to stick with Delta or Air Tran for the cheapest fares to Atlanta. Atlanta is the main HQ for Delta and a hub for Air Tran and are the two main competitors in and out of the city. Northwest would be my 3rd choice since MEM is their hub. **Southwest is not the cheapest airline, Ive found better fares on major airlines with better routes and non-stop flights. Plus you arent looking at a cattle call and old 737 fleets**
6 :
Hello, Find out which airlines fly out of Memphis, then compare by visiting each airline's website or use a service such as kayak.com to compare. Delta Airlines is the major airline out of Atlanta. Northwest Airlines and AirTran Airlines also have service/secondary hubs based in Memphis. Your best bet is to look into these three airlines and see what kind of deals you can get on their website. http://www.airtran.com http://www.delta.com http://www.nwa.com http://www.kayak.com
7 :
FareChase searches dozens of travel sites so you don't have to. It is the best way to find great prices for flights and hotel rooms.
8 :
You could try Airtran Airways / Delta Airlines and Northwest AIrlines. These are the only 3 airlines that have direct flights. Based on the date of travel and availability you can get cheap fares.

Most flights from Memphis to Maui are one or two stops, so it can vary somewhat. One stop flights, usually composed of a plane change, take around 11-13 hours, & perhaps in some cases a tad more. Two stop flights, usually composed of two plane changes, take around 14-17 hours, & also perhaps a tad longer, depending on the two airports in question.

Economical, holidays, and Hawaii are three words that don't go together well. Consider yourself lucky if you can find a fare for less than $700 from Memphis.......check out travelocity.com or sidestep.com for flights and then check out the airline website directly when you find the one you want. You'll find that the airline sites often have better deals. Good luck and happy travels!

About 2 and half hours tops... There will be one flight attendant and the pilot and co-pilot. No worries, you'll be just fine. Just sit down and have a magazine handy and after takeoff, just take a brief nap before you land...
2 :
It's only one-hour flying time from Memphis, Tennessee (MEM) to Harrison, Arkansas (HRO). SeaPort Airlines (IATA Code: K5) will fly 3 times daily (beginning October 26th) Memphis to Harrison. The airline has a fleet of 10 Pilatus PC-12 aircraft, all configured with 9 passenger seats. The aircraft is powered by a single Pratt & Whitney Canada turboprop engine. (Pratt & Whitney Canada turboprop engines are very very reliable). There may onboard snack service (coffee & soft drinks, cookies, peanuts, etc.). However, for such a short flight with an aircraft carrying less than 40 passengers, there may or may not be an onboard flight attendant. (I live in Canada, and airlines up here are required to have at least one flight attendant for each 40 passengers.) If there is no flight attendant, perhaps the pilot or the passenger agent at the air terminal will be responsible for a pre-flight safety briefing for the passengers before take-off. Small aircraft of that size are perfectly safe. They usually fly at lower altitudes than larger jets, so you may see more scenery. Enjoy the ride and don't worry. The flight will be over before you know it.

Im just glad hes not our problem in LA anymore.. poor memphis has to deal with him for one more year until his contract is up then they will drop him like hes hot

he's the biggest bust ever.
9 :
there was a play a few days ago when kobe threw it to him 8 feet from the basket after driving through traffic. he took two steps towards the basket, jumped in the air still not close to the rim and threw it back to kobe despite kobe being surrounded by 3 people. horrible basketball player.
10 :
He's a fool. A walking testament to Micheal Jordan's talent scouting ability.
11 :
He literally can't catch anything because he has the hands of someone who is 5'11" (no joke this is what i read somewhere). But you can argue that aaron brooks can catch a basketball. Kwame, however, is very uncoordinated and has little to no hand eye coordination, as evident by in inability to even dunk a basketball. As a GM on a basketball team, you never NEVER draft some one with a first overall pick if there is anything physically wrong with their game, i.e. ridiculously small hands.
12 :
I actually feel sorry for Kwame. He's one of the biggest bust in NBA history. It's all Jordan's fault, he should have never drafted him with the number 1 overall draft pick. Now the man is nothing but a joke.
13 :
Eh, Kwame has been doing horrible. I dont know if its the injury or what.
14 :
it was a bad desicion to bring him out of college, all players hould have the experience of college to be ready for nba. Most people in highschool bball are good but not pros like nba players. Once he got to the nba the players were much tougher and harder then he expected. Kobe and lebron and them are good in the nba becuz they are deicated and love the sport, they can handle it. But kwame just wants to be a rich nba player who lacks the effort.

He can throw a cake pretty good too.

He is capable to cash a check.
