Cheapest airfare?
I'm looking for the best deals on a round trip flight from columbus, ohio to los angeles. I'm military too, and I would leave the 28th and get back the 2nd. the cheapest I've been able to come up with is from expedia which is $800 and includes a hotel, this doesn't include any military discount though. Any help would be appreciated :)

Check out this website, I got some really cheap tickets on here. WWW.ANNETTELEON.GLOBALTRAVEL.COM

I find going directly to an airlines site works the best for me, I keep an eye on it for a few days and quite often the price drops if the plane is not filling, you are also leaving on a Friday and the prices are always higher for weekend flights, try looking at the flights available on the 27th, that leave late in the evening. I would also suggest going to the airport and getting on a standby list, but being Christmas, the busiest flying season, it could take hours and hours. Have a great Holiday :)

I travel to Europe all the time . I live in Las Vegas. The cheapest way is going directly to your air carrier's website and order online . All of the travel websites work with a kind of commission , so you will always pay more .
4 :
Try Hotwire.com pretty good discounts but they are not flexible when it comes to changing your plans. Meaning no refunds if you change your mind or miss your flight.
5 :
Try this website http://benefits.military.com/discount-center/travel/home.do good luck)

if you are looking for the 28th dec thro the 02jan, i can get you delta for 570.... but this is just the airfare. .. hotel needs to be booked separately. check http://www.trendyairfares.com

Is a roundtrip flight in one day cheap
Is a roundtrip flight in one day cheap?
I am looking for a roundtrip from Columbus Ohio to Virginia Beach for June 20, and I want to return June 20 at night. I got a rate of $322 and thought this was high, is it? I figured a roundtrip all in one day would be cheaper.

im not sure but i think a roundtrip would be more plus 322 is not a lot in the whole scheme of things
2 :
A round trip in a single day tends to be a full-fare economy ticket. It won't be cheap. I made the mistake of flying from Vancouver to San Francisco for the day once, a few years ago. The U.S. authorities were absolutely certain I was up to something, but couldn't figure out what.
3 :
The closer to the travel day, the higher the price... $322 is not an unusual amount... If you booked the flight 30 days in advance, would likely be much less...

yeah. i hope you're not running away cause you're "in love" or something
5 :
Yes.. but there will be someone to monitor you both on each stop. I went alone when I was 14 and had to stay in a security area until my fliight took off. Bookit.com is a great site to book cheap flights. Happy Holidays, and have a safe trip! :-)
6 :
As long as the parents sign off on you at the ticket counter as a UM (Unaccompanied Minor). You have to present valid photo ID at the check in, and at security. While the 17 yo might have that, the 14 does not. That's when the UM form will be requested.
7 :
Defiantly.
8 :
Yes. You will both be considered adults. Just bring IDs for the trip, for both of you. www.continental.com www.orbitz.com www.cheaptickets.com
9 :
Yup, I flew alone when I was 13, but you need your guardian's permission of course.

Travel or entertainment advice around Columbus Ohio
Travel or entertainment advice around Columbus Ohio?
My boyfriend and I want to do something interesting together on the weekend of 1/28/2011. We have both Saturday and Sunday free. We live in Columbus, Ohio. I checked the live shows going on that weekend, nothing interesting. I'd like to get some advices on what to do to avoid being couch potatoes that weekend. Short non stop flight or reasonable amount of driving is ok. Please advice. Thank you.

Have you gone to COSI? You don't have to be a kid to enjoy it that's good for 3 or 4 hours. A trip to Cleveland Should include a trip to the Museum of Art In my opinion its the 2 nd best museum in the midwest(after the Institute of Art in Chicago).

why did my plane make an emergency landing
why did my plane make an emergency landing?
So i was on a flight from chicago to columbus ohio, very short flight, about 45 mins or so and like 30 minutes into the flight the pilot comes on and says were turning around, going back to chicago and making an emergency landing. i didnt notice anything though, no sudden drops or anything, everything seemed fine. im just curious as to why we had to make an emergency landing and why go all the way back to chicago when we were like 10 mins away from columbus. there was no bad weather in ohio thast day and also when we landed there was several fire trucks waiting for us there. it was kinda freaky but no one was ever told what was going on

Maybe a warning light came on and the pilot was erring on the side of caution. He might've went back to Chicago because Columbus is a small airport, and might not have mechanics from that airline.
2 :
Going out on a limb here...but my guess would be that there was nothing wrong with the aircraft rather that there was extreme weather at Columbus airport and the pilot was not permitted to land. Was there bad weather on that day? Chicago was the closest and best airport no doubt, but I'm sure that they would have had to make some type of announcement on-board? You'd also know if it was an emergency landing as you would have had to have taken the brace position and you'd have been met by several emergency vehicles on the runway following the aircraft. If none of that happened then it was weather. Hope that makes you feel better :)
3 :
Whatever it was, the captain of the flight determined that something regarding the safety of the aircraft mandated a return to O'Hare Airport in Chicago (or Midway). It may have been something electronic or mechanical that could not be fixed in Columbus due to parts or no mechanics. Whatever the reason, it was serious enough to not land at Columbus. In situations like this, it is not really necessary for the passengers to know what the problem is, as many things on a jet airliner don't make any sense at all to the average passenger. Regards, Dan
4 :
Possibly the captain's girlfriend was left behind and he had to go back for her. Sounds more like bad weather or other problem on the ground at your destination - not allowed to land. Coulda been a sick passage, drunk passenger... hundreds of things. Unfortunately we're not always told - actually, make that very rarely told anything near the truth.

go to this website. then click on flights. http://www.cheaptickets.com/
2 :
Try Southwest.com I have found VERY good prices when you buy ur tickets ahead of time,
3 :
The cheapest way (but only use if you don't care about exact dates/times and how many transfers) is to place a bid on www.priceline.com. The second cheapest way is to shop at either www.cheaptickets.com, www.expedia.com, or www.orbitz.com. They even offer tips on saving money by flying a day earlier or at a different time.

I strongly suggest you look into Skybus Airlines. Skybus is a new ultra-low-cost airline based in Columbus Ohio. They currently offer service to only a few cities, but fortunately for you, Los Angeles is one of those cities served. (well, it's actually Burbank that they serve, but the extra couple miles driving is worth it if you can land one of their special fares.) Later this summer, there are still fares available as low as $75 one way. If you plan even further ahead, fares on their routes can drop as low as $10 one way. I do have to warn you though, there is a trade off for the low fares on Skybus. They offer nothing for free in flight (not even free drinks), the cabin is extremely cramped, with no in flight entertainment, and being a new start up airline, their on time performance is slightly worse than most legacy airlines. If price is the only thing you're looking at though, Skybus definitely is a top choice. Southwest Airlines also offers flights from Columbus to a number of Los Angeles area airports (albeit not direct service.) They will have much more consistent service, although a slightly more expensive lowest fare. (yet still very cheap by most standards)
5 :
The answer is Skybus. www.skybus.com Skybus provides service to 8 destinations throughout the United States. On May 22, 2007, Skybus began flights from Port Columbus to its first three destinations, Burbank, California, Kansas City, Missouri, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On May 23, Skybus added its fourth destination when it began flying to Richmond, Virginia. The airline added three more destinations on May 29 when they began flying to Bellingham, Washington, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Greensboro, North Carolina. Service to Oakland, California began on June 12, service to San Diego, California, and Chicopee, Massachusetts will begin on July 16, and service to St. Augustine, Florida will begin on July 18, 2007, which will bring Skybus' operations to twelve total cities and eleven destinations from Columbus. Advertised fares to all current target cities will begin at $10 one-way, although the price increases as more tickets are sold for that flight. Though the exact number of $10 tickets are not advertised, Skybus guarantees that a minimum of ten such tickets will be offered for each flight. Ticket prices for the remaining fares is expected to be around half the price of other airlines. These fares do not include taxes and other airport fees, however, which add around $10 to a one-way ticket. All fees included, the cheapest round-trip ticket for one adult will cost approximately $40. Good luck getting into their web site. They must be very busy.

yes it is skybus. its new airline but some way tickets cost just 10$. they do operate out of Columbus but i dont know if they fly into LA
7 :
united has some contracted companies that route through Chicago for flights from the east to the west and visa versa, they are United express and skywest, I got tickets for around the 4th of July and they where $80 cheaper roundtrip from LIncoln, ne to Manchester NH, total cost $323. I used priceline.com. Orbitz and travelocity had the same flights, but with priceline I did actually get them $37 dollars cheaper for round trip than the other two sites. but give them all a try, and bunch in economy flights, northwest has some good prices also for yur path of flight.
8 :
As others have pointed out The Sky Bus is a real deal, but, Southwest is always good on fares and if you purchase by a certain time before travel in can be lower. Also, they have senior fares if you qualify.
