Traveling by plane from Baku, Azerbaijan to DC! advice?
My poor cat is going to move to Washington DC with us. Which means a 5 hour flight to Frankfurt, a 4 hour lay over there, then a 8 hour flight to Washington DC where we will have temporary housing that allows cats. It's an extremely stressful trip but this is the only way to get her there. We decided since I have such a good bond with her and Baku has so many stray cats she'll be better off with us. -I have a soft carrier that she likes and is approved by the airline -should I bring food/water/kitty litter? How can she go to the bathroom? -Should I giver her catnip/toys in her carrier? -Should I buy a harness and leash train her? What type of harness is best? -Any tips for preparing her/keeping her calm in the plane? Thank!

Speak to your vet and they will give you all the advice you need to know about making sure your cat is comfortable traveling by air. And they can offer advice on sedation as with some animals this is the only way they can travel.
2 :
you should withhold the food. do not feed her too much. not very experienced in flying with cats. you can contact a cat courier to transport.

you would have to check with the airlines for that. they have the schedules,don't ya know!!
2 :
go on priceline or obtiz and see wht they say
3 :
No, not on a commercial airliner. The Orange County airport is not a major hub and doesn't have flights coming in from the east coast. You'll have to connect through an airport like Chicago O'Hare or Dallas. Your other option is to be very rich and charter a private jet which will fly you from anywhere to anywhere.
4 :
There are no airlines which offer non stop flights from IAD to SNA, but there are tons with only one stop. United seems to fly through Denver which seems like it would be directly in line with where you are heading!
5 :
I believe that United still has one daily. If it were me, I'd drive a few miles up 405 to the Long Beach Airport and go nonstop on jetBlue. They have GREAT fares, the free seat back television, and a ton of nonstops to Dulles Airport from LGB. Indeed UAL no longer has the nonstop. So, you either have to connect or travel from LAX or LGB. My money's still on jetBlue from Long Beach.
6 :
No, the only two flights from IAD to SNA have one stop: United 491 stops in Denver Delta 1095 stops in Atlanta (plane change also, even when it keeps the same flight number) DCA and BWI flights to SNA also have 1 stop. =0) Good luck
7 :
Who cares about one-stops... for all intents and purposes it's the same as a connection. The shortest flight time is on US Airways via PHX, about a 6hr45min flight from BWI or IAD. There are others that are around 7 hrs total. But no, no directs. Closest is jetBlue to LGB, like someone said.

Budget Hotels in Washington DC
Budget Hotels in Washington DC?
I have an early flight out of DC and I will need a cheap hotel for 1 night in a safe area near DC and within a 1/2 hour driving access to reagan airport. Any suggestions where I should look? Just need it to be pretty cheap.

If you are interested in being in the city, the Hotel Harrington has rooms starting arounc $100 a night. If you need even cheaper than that, I recommend you check out the Arlington cemetary/Iwo Jima area. There are a number of Quality Inns and the like in that area with prices in the $80 a night range. You could also check in the area of Crystal City, the Americana Hotel is one that usually has good rates. These are excellent rates for DC - note that it will be essentially impossible to do better than $70 a night or so within a half hour of Reagan Airport. Comments on the other note - the Days Inn in DC is not in a good neighborhood, and there are few in the VA suburbs. There is an excellent Red Roof In downtown in the Chinatown area, but rooms start at $120 a night.
2 :
Suggest any Days Inn or Red Roof Inn...they are cheap and plentiful in the area.

YOu go to Heathrow or Gatwick
2 :
London Luton Airport only does flights to Europe. You'd probably have to go to Heathrow. From there take the Underground to St Pancras (this is direct - no changes), and a train to Luton from there. Or you might get a flight to Gatwick, from where you get a train to Victoria, the Underground to St Pancras (again this is direct on the Victoria line) and a train to Luton. The way to research this is to look up the Washington DC airport web site, see from the timetables what airlines go to London, then use the web sites for those airlines to see what you can get. Go through the booking process then stop when you get quoted prices. The pricing model means it's usually cheapest to book 2 months before you go. Or try expedia, but always look on the airline's on web site once you find the best deal to see if they are selling the same flights cheaper. I've found that's true sometimes. Experiment. Fares can vary a lot between different days in the week and different times of day. The cheapest will always be the overnight "red-eye" - mind you, most east-west transatlantic flights go overnight. It ensures one-way traffic across the ocean and therefore safety - coming back they go during the day. Budget airlines don't do long flights like this - it will be about 8 hours. So it will have to be a full-service airline and you will get served 2 meals on the way - on an overnight flight, dinner and breakfast.

You can fly to Heathrow,Gatwick or Stansted airports. Gatwick is easiest as there is a direct frequent rail service from Gatwick to Luton. From Stansted you would need to take a bus to Luton or travel by train via London. From Heathrow you take the Underground (Subway) to Kings Cross St Pancras and then a train from St Pancras to Luton www.nationalrail.co.uk Cheap flights are really a thing of the past unless you are travelling during a very off peak period. Rising fuel prices and the losses sustained by major airlines have forced prices up. Consult a good local travel agent or go to the websites of the major transatlantic airlines like BA, American and United
