I'm moving from Washington, DC to Los Angeles, CA - where can I get cheap air fare tickets?
I'll be moving sometime during the beginning of July (date is flexible,) can anyone give me links for the absolute cheapest plane tickets for a one way flight?

Right i would go to moneysupermarket.com because you get to compare prices with which is the best flight and which is cheapest and also which one suits you
3 :
I recommend this airline: http://www.virginamerica.com/va/home.do They don't charge fee for luggage, the staff is really cool with u aboard the plane, delicious food and confortable seats...You can find one way around $170 right away but prices tend to go down suddenly; so the key thing with this airline is keep tracking prices daily and catch! the deal when prices down....

I have made this trip many times and one thing I can tell you is that you will find cheaper flights flying out of Dulles or BWI than going through National airport. Another thing to do is to search on Kayak engine. It will return all flights from Dulles or BWI and give you a price comparison. http://www.socalthemeparks.com/cheap-flights.html This method is good because you can check over 120 airlines with a single click.

Try Air Tran airlines @ http://airtran.com, or try spirit airlines @ http://www.spiritair.com. I have flown on both airlines from the East to West coast and I find both airlines fares to be the cheapest out of any other!
6 :
Fly Jet Blue, you can probably do one way for around $200-$250? Fares are so expensive now. If not Jet Blue, then try Sidestep.com for cheap tickets. Good luck on your trip!! I'm a native Washingtonian and moved to LA seven years ago.... LA is a great place to live, but i miss DC!!

Flying and want to take my Keyboard with me
Flying and want to take my Keyboard with me?
I'm flying on a small trip for Spring Break and I want to take my keyboard with me. It is a full-size (88 key) instrument, about 5' by 18" by 6". Is there any way I can fly it with me without paying a ridiculous handling charge? (no more than about $50). I'm taking a 2-hour flight from Dulles (Washington DC) to Nashville, TN. How can I make it so the keyboard comes with me?

Ha, I work at Dulles. Yes you can bring it as long as you put it in a checked baggage. If you want to take it as a carry on you may have to pay a fee of about 50.00 depending on what the size is. Have fun, I might be the one boarding you!!
2 :
a keyboard isn't that big, just put it in your carry-on baggage along with whatever else is going with it. You can pack it on top of clothes in a suitcase if you don't need it on the plane.
3 :
well if you're flying and want to take you keyboard with you so badly, just pay the $50, compared to the air ticket fee its not that much. and i think that anyway around it might be illegal...unless you can count it as a carry-on
4 :
The only thing I can think of is to call the airline you are flying and see if there is anything they can do to acommodate you. Maybe they would be willing to tag it and put it up where the stewardesses luggage, etc. You more than likely though will have to pay the $50 for the extra weight/luggage. That is a lot of space that will be taken up. Good luck!!
5 :
A) Definitely call the airline. B) You won't be able to take it as a carry-on - It's too big. C) Definitely place it in a hard-shell flight case.
6 :
Unfortunately, several folks who have answered you are very wrong. A full size, 88-key keyboard is by no means going to be allowed as a carry-on (nor would any bag that it would fit in). Your best (and safest) bet is to check it with your other luggage. The bad news is that unless you don't really care much about it, you MUST have a hard shell (preferably ATA) case for it. Between the size and the weight of the case/keyboard combo be prepared to pay $75-$100 for excess size and weight fees. Most airlines will charge you for BOTH overweight and oversize together. You can take your chances with checking it in a soft bag, but I strongly advise against it.

Is Dulles VA and Washington the same area? My flight says Washington IAD but my rental car is says Dulles VA
Is Dulles VA and Washington the same area? My flight says Washington IAD but my rental car is says Dulles VA?
I want to make sure I have my rental car at the correct location (Wash DC not Virginia)

Yeah Washington Dulles Airport, VA.Its all the same place.
2 :
IAD = International Airport Dulles...answer is yes. One and the same. It's about 30 miles outside of Washington DC.
3 :
The official name of the airport is Washington Dulles,. but it is about 30 miles outside of the heart of the city in the state of Virginia. Dulles is not in an incorporated area, so you might also see businesses in the vicinity of the airport using place names of Herndon, Sterling or Ashburn.
4 :
YES, you are fine as there are 3 airports serving the DC Metro area: DULLES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (IAD) is on western suburb at edge of Fairfax and Loudoun County and only has expensive bus & taxi service....so rental car is FINE but please make sure you observe the signs bec some of the main thoroughfares along I-66 going in/out of Washingon are HOV RESTRICTED during certain times. The main or most centrally located airport is called RONALD REAGAN NATIONAL AIRPORT (DCA) on the Washington METRORAIL Blue & Yellow lines. BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON AIRPORT (BWI) is 3rd aitport located off Baltimore-Washington Parkway and has train service... Enjoy Your Stay and FYI the CHERRY BLOSSOMS at the Tidal Basin will soon be blooming!

There are 2 main airports in the Washington, DC, area. DCA = Reagan National Airport. It's in Virginia, between Arlington and Alexandria and is about 4 miles from Washington, DC. IAD = Dulles International Airport. It's in Virginia, about 30 miles west of Washington, DC. Your rental car is at the correct airport.
6 :
yup. the airport is called washington dulles international airport (IAD) and it is actually located in Virginia. but it is only a half hour - 45 min. drive to Washingtin dc
7 :
Oh yes. Dulles Airport is the main airport and international hub for Washington, DC. It's in Loudoun County, VA which is an outer suburb of Washington. You got a 24 mile drive East to Washington. By 2015 Dulles should have a metro station.
8 :
Dulles airport (IAD) serves the Washington DC area, but is in Virginia. It is about thirty miles out of downtown. So you are fine, you should be able to fly into Dulles Airport and pick up your rental.

Anyone flown on aeroflot airlines from Washington DC (IAD) to Delhi (DEL)
Anyone flown on aeroflot airlines from Washington DC (IAD) to Delhi (DEL)?
Anyone flown on aeroflot airlines from Washington DC (IAD) to Delhi (DEL)? How is the flight ? Safe and confortable. How is the Moscow airport. Is it safe? Is it safe for a women and an infant

Personally, I would choose another airline if you have an option. I am in the travel business and i know that aeroflot is one of the worst airlines going. They are not as bad as they were under communism. Back then their planes were dropping out of the sky every month. But today they are safe, but the service stinks. Moscow airport is safe and fine. But customs is a disorganized nightmare.
2 :
In my opinion..Its not a good option especially for a women and infant i think your better off flying through LHR/FRA/CDG/DOH from IAD these are good connection airports and the airlines(British Airways/Lufthansa/Air France/Qatar AIrways) are also very good in overall terms..these airlines will also get you to Delhi Read the reviews on this website: http://www.mouthshut.com/product-reviews/Aeroflot-925005297.html
3 :
I wouldn't recommend it as you have to wait in a weird place and then again its a foreign country, I have flown First on AeroFlot and did not enjoy it, so if you're traveling on economy I couldn't imagine how that would be. I highly suggest you fly on another airline. Be sure not to stop in foreign countries or if you have no other option try stopping in London, Amsterdam, Switzerland, Frankfurt, and such airports.
