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?

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.

That is the same route I took from Vietnam in 68 PAN AM Airline. Re fuel in Guam then, Custom inspection was in Honolulu and my final destination is San Francisco, CA.

Depends as they might share flight codes with other airlines ie part of the flight is with Malaysian. If at any stage they have to pick up their luggage before their final destination then they will have to go through Customs. Check with Airline for the correct information
7 :
I believe you would clear customs in Guam. The Guam-Honolulu flight would be a domestic flight.

Anytime you put your feet on American soil you will have to go through Customs.

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.

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."

A friend of mine had this experience. The old Stapleton airport in Denver was a hard place to land because of the winds in the mountains. My friend said that when landing there, in bad weather, the plane hit the ground and bounced back in the to come down hard again. When the plane was on the ground and taxing to the terminal the pilot came on with this comment "Ladies and gentlemen we have just landed at Denver's Stapleton airport, twice."
