3 days only - London for USD100* from any British Airways US departure city
(one-way based on round-trip purchase).
Heck of a deal!

If I order an airline ticket from a website like orbitz or expedia, will I
get to choose my exact seat like I could if I bought it from the airline's
website?  Thanks in advance.

A friend of mine has expressed an interest in visiting New York in September
next year. Specifically on September 11th so she can pay her respects at
whatever service they have then.
Looking at fares at the moment they all come out in the £400-420 range. Now

It would appear we have a joker in the pack who has been posting messages
via google groups.
I have advised google to remove these posts and to close the account. Unless

I just booked a Air Canada Jazz flight on one of these with a United
codeshare ticket.  I was wondering what's rec.travel.air's opinion of this
aircraft.

It takes me hours to search all the options to find the lowest fares
from say London to Paris. Are there any sites that will do this for me
and make the booking as well where I can be sure to have got the
cheapest available?

I am trying to look for very early  direct flights (around 7am) from
BOS
to JFK, but I can 't seem to find anything from the usual suspects.
The earliest flight is from Delta at around 9:30 am .

Are there any good sites or tips on getting cheap airfare to vegas from
Seattle?  Also, have people here ever used travelaxe?  I'm getting great
deals on it but haven't heard much about it and want to make sure there's
nothing fishy there.  Thanks!

Hello, I will be traveling early next year between LAX and MNL on
China Airlines in economy.  (already know about their safety record,
etc.  Still much better odds than when I drive to work every day!).
Anyway, I've never flown with this carrier before and was curious

I'm arriving in Los Angeles on Amtrak at the downtown Union Station. I
am staying at a hotel very close to LAX (Holiday Inn LAX - I'm flying
out) and was wondering what a cab fare would be to get there? Also,
about how long a ride is this and is this a congested route--I know it
