Are there any such thing as a German equivalent to Orbitz or
Travelocity? I've looked at flights from Frankfurt to Istanbul on
Lufthansa, LTU, Turkish Air, and some others I can't remember and they
all seem way overpriced.

I am flying from Cincinnati tomorrow to my home in South Carolina.  My family
told me they were having a cookout this weekend, and asked me to bring some
good local Cincinnati sausages with me.  I bought about ten pounds of bratwurst
and hot italian sausage, and froze it immediately ...

check-in for the second flight at the same time as the first?  Or, since

BWI (Amtrak) -> BWI (airport): Bus, right?
How often does it run/how long does it take/how much does it cost?

I have an upcoming trip that will likely involve flying on a DeHavilland
Dash 8-100 aircraft. I've never flown in anything smaller than an MD-80.
At 6' 6" and 300 lbs, I am concerned as to whether I can fit into the Dash

city C on airline Y and then taking a cruise from city C. Airline X and Y

Are there any Airlines that still allow smoking on their aircraft??
