Best airline for London?
I'm planning a trip to London this coming Spring Break (March) and I'm looking at airline prices. The cheapest I found was US Airways but I've heard such negativity about them that I wonder if I should take that chance. Granted every airline has its share of complaints. The flight would be from San antonio TX to Charlotte NC then Gatwick. Should I take this flight? For 50 dollars more, I can get continental airlines to London Heathrow. Trust US airways or not? (Virgin Atlantic is not available in my state). And will fares continue to rise? I cannot book until Jan.

i would go with the flight if its the cheapest...personally...but there are several factors to consider...the fares might go up...but just book asap I personally perfer to fly into london heathrow...because you can take the tube directly into the city...it costs about 8bucks and is fast and easy...just make sure you can easily carry your bags (you wont have to life them for long...but you will need to manuver them...maybe take them up stairs from gatwick you will have to take rather a bus or a train...which prolly isin't worth 50 bucks by any means...but will be more expensive and be less convienent...bus is probably cheaper...but i'd book that ahead of time...taxis are super nice but so expensive! I personally love and have always flown to london with British airways.,..there great, super realiable...with nice seats with your own personal tv and access to tons and tons of movies and shows and the ablity to pause, rewind, start over...its realllly nice...but go with the best deal for sure!

There isn't necessarily one best airline, because the prices vary often. You really just need to put your time in and do a lot of comparing. Your best bet is to check out the website BookMe. You can compare ALL the reputable travel ticket sites, and save money. Good luck!

British Airways is the best (from Houston). You get what you pay for.

On international flights, if you get to the airport really early can you get a better seat
On international flights, if you get to the airport really early can you get a better seat?
I am flying from San Antonio - Dallas - London - Nice. If I arrive at the San Antonio airport early, can I ask for an aisle seat, exit row seat, or a seat in the front row for the Dallas-London flight when I check in? [Right now on my itinerary it says the Dallas-London flight seat is unassigned. ] I'm flying American Airlines

Most of the time the seats are already reserved, however it is possible sometimes to get a better seat, I have done that by going very early
2 :
The earlier you are, the more choices you have to "negotiate". Let your wishes be known at the check-in counter, otherwise they will plop you anywhere the computer says. First come, first serve.
3 :
Yes, you can. I'm not sure of American Airlines' rules, but US Airways will allow you to. I usually go up to the baggage counter and ask for a bulkhead
4 :
In San Antonio, the agent may not be able to assign you a seat for Dallas-London because that flight is not departing from San Antonio. You can still ask. When you arrive in Dallas, go straight to the desk that has the destination listed on it, and ask for a better seat. They will be able to better serve you. You can also call American Airlines, and ask for a seat today.
5 :
Actually, I have arrived pretty late and gotten an upgrade to first class since the flight was overbooked. I think it was 50$ extra...but hey....first class to Europe is GREAT!
6 :
I'm flying American airlines domestic and when I booked my reservations I it allowed to chose my seats too why didn't you do that? I got an aisle seat easy enough you might be able to into your reservation book your seat now go online and check
7 :
Just call American and tell them you want to select your seats. You can check the specific seat numbers for your type of plane on this site: http://www.seatguru.com Your chances are very small of getting an exit row. Be aware that front rows (i.e. bulkhead seats) usually mean crying babies.

i fly at least 8 times a year and most of the 8 flights iam in first class and when i reserved my seat i was in Business class.
9 :
It has nothing to do with what time you get there. You are supposed to get there 3 hours ahead of your flight time anyway. You are supposed to buy your ticket online or at the airport counter, and whatever seat they have, you have to take it-or if you order your flight seat months ahead of time, you'll get a chance to pick which seat you want. If you do not buy a ticket, you are on stand by and IF they have room, they'll put you somewhere at the end.

Does anyone have connections with American Airlines?!!! HELP please
Does anyone have connections with American Airlines?!!! HELP please!?
my fiance is flying in from San Diego and there flight is running a little bit late and is scheduled to arrive in Dallas (DFW) at 10:40 and his connecting flight from DFW to San Antonio leaves at 10:50. He has to get from Terminal C to Terminal D ASAP. Is there anyway they will hold the flight... do you think he'll make it? Now the flight from San Diego says it's arriving in Dallas at 10:33! I hope he makes it! His flight arrived in Dallas at 10:36 and its says flight 550 to San Antonio isn't scheduled to leave Dallas until 11:20 but now it's terminal A! I think he will make it! I KNOW he will! :)

if there are enough people on the transfer flight they have to delay it.
2 :
i really doubt it you can bet his first flight will be later 90% chance. usually all planes are late. he will be having to wait for another flight. good luck,
3 :
It's hard to say...they won't hold a plane for just 1 or 2 people. If there are a lot of people connecting, they may wait a few minutes, but not much more than that. All you can do is hope his connecting flight is a little bit delayed. I don't want to worry you any more than you already are....but to be honest...the aircraft door typically closes 10 minutes prior to the departure time. Meaning the door for his connecting flight will close when he is just landing.
4 :
Thats a tight one. The answer is because it is the last flight of the night they may indeed hold it..depending on how many other passengers are booked on that connection. the worst case if the flight was delayed due to mechanical they will put him on the first flight out any carrier..second if it was delayed to to weather they will rebook him in the am on AA. Chances of the hold are pretty good as it is so tight...I have been in the airline industry for 30 years and I would hold and actually have run over to other gates..met the plane and ran people to the connection... Good luck!! Jennifer!!!

I need to book a flight to Texas for a Military graduation...... I need a cheap flight
I need to book a flight to Texas for a Military graduation...... I need a cheap flight!?
I have never been on a plane and have no idea where to even start. I need a cheap flight from TRI Tri Cities Regional Airport in Tennessee to San Antonio TX Itnl Airport. Is there a site I can get a round trip flight for cheap. We are going for my husbands Air Force Graduation in Lackland. Thanks. We need to fly out of Tennessee April 14th for San Antonio TX, and Return home to Tennessee on April 17th from San Antonio TX. We live fairly close to Asheville, NC also if it would be cheaper to fly from there.

did you forgot something? liek the date? you could fly southwest but they only service nashville so i;m not sure how far that is from tri cities but usuallt southwest is one of lowest but with out a date thats the best we can do '

If you will go to www.tripadvisor.com and enter your dates, it will compare prices on all the search sites. Southwest does not fly from TRI.
3 :
Cheapest combination I found would be on American Airlines; for those dates, out of those cities. $371.50 average cost per passenger in US Dollars $743.00 total for all passengers American Airlines Can be booked on www.aa.com; or if doing reservation over the phone, you can provide the following fare code to get the price. AA TRI→SAT QB14XQD1 fare AA SAT→TRI NA14ERD1 fare

All the above answers are good. You can use orbitz, travelocity, or kayak. Also look on the website for the airport you will be using to see which airlines service it, and you can go on the individual airlines sites to check if they have specials. Book your tickets as soon as you can since you are flying during spring break and ticket prices will be higher. Since you are flying out midweek and returning on a Sunday you should be able to get a little cheaper price. If you have never flown before, make sure you familiarize yourself with security guidelines, what you can and can't take on the plane, what you can take through security. http://www.tsa.gov Make sure you get to the airport at least an hour before departure and are at the gate 30 minutes prior. Check in at the ticket counter with your photo ID and your confirmation number which you will have received when you book your tickets. (you will not get a paper ticket, they are all generally electronic now.) The ticket counter will give you your boarding pass, you can check your bags at that time and you will need to show that and your picture ID to get through security and on to your gate. You must be on board the plane 10 minutes prior to departure or you will be denied boarding. Good luck, and thanks to your husband for his service.
