British Airways flys direct to both Chicago & Washington DC from London Heathrow. Along with many others, just do a search on expedia.
2 :
You can fly from London-Heathrow to Chicago on American Airlines, United Airlines, British Airways, and seasonally Virgin Atlantic. If you didn't know what seasonally means it means in the high season. From Manchester to Chicago you can fly on American Airlines. To Wasington DC you can only fly to London-Heathrow on British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.
3 :
Yes you can. As with most things, you can find the airlines etc. on any travel site, such as www.Expedia.co.uk.
4 :
Virgin Atlantic offers nonstop from gatwick to ohare, flying British Airways requires a layover in houston
5 :
outside London, just Glasgow International and Manchester have direct flights to Chicago. They are operated by American Airlines. http://www.flyglasgow.net

Try http://www.expedia.com That should solve your problem. Ian

The best is rarely the cheapest, you know. The fastest and easiest is to fly on Alaska from National to Seattle, and change there for Fairbanks. The cheapest appears to be a multi-hop flight from Dulles to Seattle to Anchorage on United and Continental, then a commuter flight to Fairbanks. Despite what the ads might say, all jet flights in the US are about equally uncomfortable and annoying. Commuter flights on propeller planes are somewhat louder and less comfortable, but not horribly so. You will definitely get a better fare if you don't wait until the last minute to buy your tickets.

When do you get the lowest fare for international flights
When do you get the lowest fare for international flights?
I'm going to Germany in July and can seem to pinpoint the best time to purchase a flight. Flights from the Washington DC area are currently between $700 and $800. Will these prices go down? What site is the best to purchase from?

If you can get a price of under $1,000 to travel in the summer, I would jump on it. I doubt the price will come down anymore. July is peak travel time so tickets are usually expensive.
2 :
you may try http://www.europeanvacation3.com for cheap flight tickets as it's search over 450 sites for price comparison and which would help to choose cheap flight tickets from those search result.

Hi, I read your response on another question about prices and I answered you on there. But just in case you don't look here it is again. ;o) We are stationed in Germany and I just bought my parents tickets to come out here in May. I looked on Kayak.com And North west by far was the cheapest. On Kayak.com though you actually have to go to the NWA website to book your flight. But they search different airlines. I was able to get two tickets for $964 total. Which is $482 each. We were really wanting them to come in June or July but since the prices doubled in June we just couldn't do that and still be able to travel around Europe for 2 weeks. So we chose May. Yep I just searched on www.nwa.com and from Washington DC to Frankfurt(wasn't sure just guessed) they were 700 something. But in May they were like $515. But check Kayak.com they were by far the cheapest I found. Good luck and have a Great time! Oh one more thing. I don't know where you are going in Germany but you might try surrounding countries that are close to your destination ( if any) We checked in Luxembourg and Belguim. Sometimes they are cheaper of course it just depends on where you are wanting to go. It would have been fine for us because all three places are around the same distance for us to drive to get them. ANyway, I just thought I would throw that out there for you as another option. I checked several different cities in Germany and Frankfurt, Stuttgart, and one other one were all around $730 in July.. But Dresden and other places were over $1200 per ticket. Sorry for the novel. Hope this helps though! EDIT One more thing. The reason I like kayak.com is that they show a calendar that says the lowest rates for that month.

Washington DC question
Washington DC question?

The airport is actually Marshall Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) and is located about half-way between the two cities. Many folks coming to Washington, DC fly into BWI, particularly because it has many discount flights. To get from BWI into DC you have several options. Unless you're on an expense account, I would not use a cab, which will be quite expensive. Instead, I'd take the free shuttle bus from the airport to the BWI train station, from where you can take either Amtrak or the MARC commuter train into Washington Union Station, in downtown DC. From there, you can more cheaply take a cab to your hotel, or if your hotel is near a Metro station, you can take the Metro subway. There are other ways of doing it, including a bus that will connect you from the airport to the Metro subway system, but the Amtrak or MARC connection is the most popular.
