Anyone know of a good place to eat between Dullas Airport and Washington DC ?
Heading to DC with the family (two sons 15 and 10) and they will be hungry after the flight - any good (no chain restaurants please) place to have a big lunch around 2:00?

Considering Dulles is roughly 30 miles outside DC, there are tons and tons of places. It helps to know if you are staying in DC proper or in one of the suburbs, as that will make it easier to recommend a place between the airport and your hotel.

Once you get on the Dulles Toll Road, take the Reston Parkway exit (it's like 5 minutes) into Reston Town Center. There are tons and tons of restaurants, shops, etc. to fill your bellies.

Do airplanes (preferably San Diego, CA) have A/C adapter outlets
Do airplanes (preferably San Diego, CA) have A/C adapter outlets?
I'm going to be going on a night flight to Washington DC on a Jet Blue San Diego plane. Do most planes have A/C Adapter outlets? And do most of these outlets work for portable DVD players? Thanks! :)

Below is a link to a web site that shows you all the seating configurations as well as where the outlets are for any flight. I use it before I make any seat reservations to ensure there is an outlet at my seat. Most planes have one only on every other row. Planes have a 12v outlet that looks like a car cigarette lighter beneath some seats. You need to buy an adapter to convert the power for your laptop, etc. Check SeatGuru.com and it will show you where everything is for your flight. On the left side on the page, click on the airline and then on the model of plane. A diagram will appear that shows you all kids of neat stuff like where the best seats are, where the bulkheads/bathrooms are, any problems reported by passengers, etc. Mouse over a seat on the diagram and it will give you deatails about the seat. From the web site: "A power port, usually located in the seat arm rest, enables you to plug in electronic devices such as laptops and portable DVD players while on the plane. If there is a power port location at your seat it will be noted by a black dot on the SeatGuru seating map; the Seat Map Key provides an illustration. The three widely used types of power ports are AC, Cigarette, and Empower. Both the Cigarette and Empower ports require special adapters which can be purchased from a number of retailers. If power ports are available on an aircraft there will be a laptop icon on that plane's web page on the SeatGuru site. If you click on the icon, detailed power information will appear." Update: I just looked up Jet Blue and they fly mostly AirBus. They do not have any outlets.

None have AC outlets. Some have 12-volt DC ports, but you have to have the right adaptor. There are some AC outlets in the airport terminals along the walls.
3 :
No outlets. You'll have to work on battery power.

People To People Washington DC: Do they pay for the tickets
People To People Washington DC: Do they pay for the tickets?
I got invited to washington dc and my father was curious to see if the $1995.00 we are paying is also paying for the tickets. Please reply quickly. PS: If you went, which flight was the "big worth-it" one?

I do not know, but if the people of Washington, DC are invited our local transportation could be between free (walk), price of a Metro Bus or maybe a metro train. Do not know what function you are going to, so I do not know if we would pay for the either. Many venue's are free. You left a lot of information out of your question. This is my help from Washington, D.C. United States of America. Please pick an answer as the best answer, even if it is not mine. Cannot help you with which airlines is better. Cannot tell where you are coming from. If from Israel, I suggest ElAl. Korea, I suggest Korean Air, Los Angeles, I suggest Southwest Airlines. Houston, I suggest Continental Airlines.

I'm a little confused: Why don't you contact the organization directly to find out the details?
3 :
What you seem to be describing could be an employment scam. An organization called People to People has been involved in scurrilous practices in the past. Be very cautious. Look this up on the internet before you commit. Typically when someone is "invited" it's free. Being required to pay $1,995 in advance doesn't sound like much of an invitation to me.

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
