Question about flying nonstop and flying one stop

Question about flying nonstop and flying one stop?
Ok so im trying to fly to Indianpolis from Seattle. There are no nonstop flights from Seattle to Indianapolis. I am going college visiting on the last week of march. I will be goign to detroit and indianapolis. Ok so while searching for airlines and good prices, I found that flying to detroit nonstop costs $599 per person, while flying to indianapolis with 1 stop costs $125 per person. I wanted to fly directly to detroit and then dive to indianpolis and fly back home to seattle, but that costs way too much. But if I fly to indianapolis and drive to detroit it will take too much time. I found a flight from Seattle to Indianapolis, and its a 1 stop flight. But, the thing is, the stop it makes is at detroit. So is it ok for me to just get off at that first stop and not make the complete flight to indianapolis? Because it costs $599 just to go straight to detriot, so I figured, if I just do a 1 stop flight to indianapolis and get off at the first stop, detroit, I could save like $400 dollars. So my question is, is this legal? What do you suggest I do? so there is no way to retrieve my bags? =[

sure it's legal, but the airline will cancel the rest of your flights, and hopefully you don't have a bag to check, because it will go to IND
2 :
ONE problem with that is your bag will be on the flight to indianapolis if you did that.. They take it right off the plane and onto your connecion plane when they scan it or it could be on a totally different plane going to indianapolis.

Since you plugged SEA-IND, it will show up all possible ways, including a flight which has one stop. Of course, if someone wanting to fly to Detroit, they'd get a one-step flight. Say that's what you want now.. right? Then that's totally legal! It's your choice on how you want to fly. If you wanted to fly to Indianapolis with a ticket paying the fare to Detroit, of course you won't be getting that second ticket when you check-in.

Two problems: 1. I assume you want to return back to Seattle. The airline will cancel the rest of your ticket, with no refund, when you don't show up for your flight from Detroit to Indy. So then you'd have to book a one-way ticket back to Seattle, and there is a good chance it would cost more than what you are saving this way. 2. If you have checked bags, they automatically go to your final destination. You can't retrieve your bags in Detroit when you decide to bail on your second flight. So you'd have to do carry-on only. It's hard to catch people for doing it when they skip out on the last leg of a flight or itinerary. But when you purchase a ticket, that is considered a contract between you and the airline, and you break it when you start skipping out on flights.

orbitz.com not cheap enough? Use the matrix display (tm) to see which days may be cheaper, if your dates are flexible. Else, try Hotwire.
2 :
I recommend http://www.airfarewatchdog.com/. It searches all the fares of most airlines and travel websites (except Southwest). You can look up cheap fares to and from a city. You can also sign up for fare alerts and it will email you as frequently as you want the cheapest fares between two cities. For your specific case go to the website. On the left there is a link called discount airfare. It will take you to a page that lists most major cities. Scroll down and select the link for Indianapolis. That page will list the cheapest airfare from Indianapolis to many destinations. As of June 7 at 4:20 PM eastern that fare is $206 on American (several other airlines are matching). If you select the link for the fare it will give you all the restrictions and booking links. I use the Travelocity link if it is available becuase I find it easier to choose my travel dates.

No it's not a good time. They are laying off people. And you don't get to select your home base. One of my children was a flight attendant.

All the maps you need are here: http://www.indianapolisairport.com/maps_directions
2 :
You don't necessarily have to park, they have curbside pick-up for arriving passengers (as with every airport), but you'll follow the signs for arrivals (NOT departures)... and it will take you to the baggage claim area to pick up your passengers once they gather their luggage. You'll see signs for each different carrier (United, NWA, AirTran, etc) so you know where to expect to find them. Its a very small airport! Very user-friendly!
3 :
oh man I went to the wrong airport last time i was there, but they have signs to direct you to the new airport even if you mess up. It's not that far out of the way so I think you will be ok. if you have a gps, your map probably will not take you to the new airport.
4 :
If you want to go in there is short term parking or you can drive up to arriving passengers. If you get there early they is a cell phone lot so when passengers arrive they can call you so you don't have to do the circle tour. The signs are well placed but if you wait for arriving passenger you cant set there and wait if there is a crowd. So the cell phone lot or short term parking is your best bet.

What is the hottest sneaker/shoe store/boutique in Indianapolis, Indiana

What is the hottest sneaker/shoe store/boutique in Indianapolis, Indiana?
I need to know where the hottest shoe store in indy is. I'm not looking for a "Champs" or "Footlocker" or "Finishline" or a shoe store like that. I'm looking for a boutique or something like a "Flight Club". P.S. I wear a size 14/15 in shoes so they need to sell big sizes too

Try Hibbet Sports or athletic sports they have the larger shoes for many folks. Also try the Gander Mountain or if you can find one a Galyans sporting goods. It is hard to find shoes that size outside of a sports store Good Luck:)
