I would say the best way to travel would be to take a taxi or rent a car if you would like to spend some money
2 :
Try to contact Stretch Limousine, Inc in Chicago. They have very reliable service between Chicago O'hara airport and Indianapolis in a town car for up to 3 passengers. Also, you can request a child seat for $5. Make sure you setup up your limo pick-up time early. With 200 miles, the estimated travel time between Indianapolis, Indiana and Chicago O'Hare airport can range between 3.5-4.5 hrs (depending on traffic, weather conditions, and exact location), etc.

http://stretchlimochicago.com/indiana-specials/Indianapolis.htm Now they offer rides between Indy and Ohare for $329. Renting is good, if you don't mind the one way fee (Enterprise.com) they have the discount codes if you use google them. Last, depending on your qty of luggage and patience, you can use Greyhound.

Can anyone help me understand airports
Can anyone help me understand airports?
I am going to Australia later this month. I am taking a flight from Indianapolis to Minneapolis/St.Paul to LAX to Brisbane. I have never been in an airport, much less a plane before, and I have no idea what I am supposed to do when i get off my flights. I need to know about things such as going through the security gate, finding my terminal/gate, going through customs...etc. Can anyone help me??

There are signs that will direct you to the proper places. When you get to the airport in Indianapolis, you will check in for your flight at the desk of the airline with whom you are traveling. They should give you a boarding pass for all of your flights; if you are switching airlines, they can't always do this, but they can help you take care of it at least. Just ask the person checking you in. They will write your departure gate on your boarding pass - it's typically a letter and a number - such as A13. A is the concourse, 13 is the gate. Follow the airport signs to your concourse. At some point, you will go through security. Make sure you follow the rules regarding carry-on baggage (www.tsa.gov). You'll be asked to take off your shoes as well. When you arrive in Minneapolis/St. Paul, find the nearest electronic board showing departures. Look for the departure gate for your flight to LAX, and head that way. You won't have to go through security again. The signs are pretty clear, so you shouldn't get lost. Same procedure once you land in LAX. You'll have to go through customs when you land in Brisbane. Again, the signs will be clear and it will be obvious where to go - just follow the crowd at that point.

Why are flights to Denver, CO so EXPENSIVE right now
Why are flights to Denver, CO so EXPENSIVE right now?
My family was planning a trip from Illinois to Denver, but recently the flight prices have seemed to shoot up. We've tried looking for flights departing from Indianapolis, Chicago, and St. Louis and they are all about 400 dollars a piece. But the flights seem to get cheaper later in August?? Is there something going on right now in Colorado in these next few weeks that is making flights so expensive???

From the way it sounds, it seems like you are trying to buy a flight that leaves within the next couple weeks. This is when flights are becoming full and there is more demand than there is supply, and ticket pricess tend to rise. It has nothing to do with the destination, but just waiting too long to buy the ticket. For the cheapest prices, book your flight AT LEAST 2 months in advance.
2 :
This is how it works: The airline will take all the seats and divide them into "fare buckets". So maybe 30 seats will be in a bucket and they will sell them dirt cheap as long as they are bought x days in advance. The next bucket, maybe 30 seats, is more expensive but they allow flexibility, you can change date. The next bucket, maybe 30 seats, is even more expensive but can be purchased up to the departure date and allow changes. This is a great simplification but basically what the airline will do. They can of course every day change the buckets and transfer seats between them. You will see this on your ticket as booking class: M, X, Y, O, W or similar. Cheap seats are sold first, and then you can find seats in a more expensive fare bucket.
3 :
It is not just Denver. Airlines deeply discount tickets for a 14-day advance purchase. I suspect that you are trying to make reservations for inside the 14 days. Try using Southwest out of Midway airport in Chicago, or St. Louis or Indianapolis. They have a different pricing structure. Decide what days you can all go, and then go to Southwest's website and make your reservations IMMEDIATELY for the time you can all go. Regards, Dan

Well...yes. I own a travel agency...but you have to actually say: What dates of travel (+/- days?), how many people...does the time of day matter? (after 8pm because your still working that day, arrive in the morning because you have a meeting later....back on Sunday by 6pm so you have sleep before work on Monday?!?!?) How many people? non-stop, or change of planes okay? etc etc etc With more info...you can get more help.

Regarding flight, you just missed an awesome promo with expedia. However, you can still save some money with hotels, coupons and what not. You can find hotel deals, free coupons, and a lot more info at http://www.mycheapvegas.com Cheers!
4 :
Jet blue always has deal to Vegas and I saw a 4 day/ 3 night to Las Vegas 99.00
5 :
The earlier you book the cheaper the tickets. There are really only two places to look for tickets, Southwest.com and everywhere else. Southwest is the only place that you can buy their tickets. Everywhere else will have the same prices because airlines do not discount to anyone anymore. Using a site like Expedia, orbits, etc. might save you a bit because they will check prices on mulitiple airlines for the round trip. In other words, you might fly there on United but return on Delta. Be aware of departure and arrival times. If possible, try to get non-stop if possible.

Try southwest airlines. Southwest.com
7 :
Check Southwest, MidWest, or Alligiant
