some stage" fares should go down a ways. My friends have been monitoring the
fares like hawks, but so far no sign of "end of ...

Am looking for cheap flights to Adelaide (Australia) early next year.
Daughter getting married out there. Guess I shall be on my third mortgage by
then! Prices seem to go up by the day!
Anyone know of any good deals going with airline companies?

I'm not a frequent flyer, so I have no idea how long this has been
going on, but the other day I took a flight from SNA to SJC and back.
At both airports I was "asked" (in a manner which implied that it was

For instance: When touristing in Mexico from U.S.A., I hereaby vow not

Can anyone recommend a good website or airline for cheap airfare from

I just received my newly renewed passport. I thought the US was going
