If you take Greyhound, it is $37.50 - $31 if you buy a week in advance. 192 miles, about 3.5 - 4 hours. http://www.greyhound.com/home.asp Amtrak is cheaper, but actually takes longer. 19:45 Chicago, IL Union Station 00:35 Indianapolis, IN Durations: 4h 50m Cost: $27.00 http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak/HomePage

I'm not sure I understand you 100% However, if I do, then, yes, anyone can buy a ticket for anyone else. It would be you friend's name as the passenger and then your credit card (name and address) for the payment.
2 :
You can buy the ticket but it has to be in her name and only she can ever use it. Call your travel agent or the airline.
3 :
It doesn't matter who pays for the ticket... just make sure you put her name as the passenger. Hope this info helps!
4 :
You can buy a ticket for your friend but it will have to be in her name, and make sure the spelling is correct and will match the spelling on her ID. One seat one name. Some airlines will let you transfer the ticket to a different name but check with the airline before purchase, .
5 :
Yes you can but the ticket has to be on her name and you have to ensure that the title (Miss Mrs or Ms) is correct and that her first and surname are correctly spelt otherwise she will have a problem boarding the flight. It doesnt matter who pays for the ticket but you must remember that the ticket is not transferable once its issued and besides the air fare you will have to pay for the airport tax too.
6 :
Yes, but you will need to know alot of personal information like I.d., passport #, driver's licenses #, and flight miles too. and more

Which is a better airport to be in, Indianapolis or O'Hare
Which is a better airport to be in, Indianapolis or O'Hare?
I'm going to book a flight soon and my departure options either have me waiting for three hours in Indianapolis or a three hour lay over in O'Hare. Having not really flown too much myself, in your opinion, which is the better of the two airports to have to spend three hours?

1 :
O'Hare has a lot more people and the airport is extremely busy. If you like watching airplanes take-off and land, O'Hare will have a lot of them. Indianapolis probably would be a bit nicer as I do not expect the airport to be anywhere near as busy as O'Hare.
2 :
Indianapolis....when I worked for Northwest Airlines I would NEVER and quote NEVER re-route ANY passengers thru O'Hare....you practically spit on the runways and they close the airport...O'Hare is very prone to delays anytime of the year...I would take IND hands down

Why wont autopilot work on fsx (beechcraft baron 58)
Why wont autopilot work on fsx (beechcraft baron 58)?
Ilove flying on FSX. i just got done with a flight in the mooney bravo, so i decided to jump in the beechcraft baron and take it for a little spin. I was doing an IFR flight from indianapolis indiana to bloomington indiana. well when i was getting all of my clearances and cruising altitude and headings i was putting them into the AP. after takeoff i raised the flaps and gear and turned on AP and then hit the alititude hold button, well it wouldnt hold the altitude only the heading, (it didnt do this in the mooney bravo) what is going on?

Did the ALT button not engage? If it did, try to adjust the altitude to the correct setting in the autopilot.
2 :
Perhaps a dirt dauber or other bug has plugged the aneroid tube to the auto pilot.

Could someone please do a sample search for me for airfare rates to canada
Could someone please do a sample search for me for airfare rates to canada?
Every time I try to go on a airfare website, it crashes on my computer because my computer is stupid like that. Anyways, could someone see how much a flight from Indianapolis, Indiana to Calgary, Canada would be? I can only afford coach, if that tells you anything. There will be 2 adults traveling, and for the departure date, it doesn't matter, but some time in July, and I would like to return within like 1-3 weeks. I just need an estimate of the price range of the flight. The airline doesn't matter, I just need a reasonable price. Thank You!

What to do about possibly not seeing my dad this New Years
What to do about possibly not seeing my dad this New Years?
I'm 17, and my parents are divorced. My dad lives in New York, and I live in Indiana with my mom. My mom and my dad have an agreement that I see him ever summer, and on every other Christmas/New Years(alternating them. Christmas one year, New Years the next) My mom refuses to let me fly alone on a connecting flight, regardless that I have been flying since i was about 4 years old and that I flew alone on a direct flight last year. Last summer, she set a flight from Indianapolis to Philadelphia(6 hours from where my dad lives) instead of driving me to Chicago(4 hrs from where I live) and letting me take the direct flight from Chicago to Albany. What should I do? I've tried to prove my point that I am quite old enough and experienced enough to fly by myself on a connecting flight. I am old enough, I am over prepared, and I'm smart enough to figure out that Gate A11 or B16(just examples) is where I need to be. What should I do? Is there anything I can do in court for something like this? Shouldn't she not be able to keep me from seeing my father, especially when I am 17? I am talking with my mom later. Is there anything I can do to help her see that I am mature enough to handle these kinds of things? Please don't give crappy answers. Thank you.

If your parents are divorced, they have made a settlement on how you shall be 'divided" amongst them. If you want to see your dad on the holiday that you are supposed to, and she doesn't let you, AND it is violating the terms of their settlement, then you can take it to court and the court can find a solution. If her not letting you go is within the terms of their agreement, then there isn't much the court can do.
2 :
Is there a relative she trusts? Your grandma, an aunt? I would try talking to a family member and see if they will talk to her. That is a tough situation. Have you asked her what her concern is? Ask her and just listen. Let her tell you what she is thinking. Keep asking til you feel she has listed them all. Once you know all of the concerns, then take a couple days to think about the concerns. Find situations where you have behaved in a manner that would prove that the concern is invalid. Then, approach her with the list of concerns. Write it all down ahead of time so you can do it in an organized manner. Address each concern with your proof. Once you have pointed those out, ask her to just think about the conversation for a couple days. Then, approach her again and ask if she has come up with some sort of compromise.
3 :
If the agreement is a court order, then she has to let you go. If not, then she doesn't. I have a daughter around your age. I would suggest you look at an airline online. Find a flight that has a transfer, and figure it out. Present it to her to show you know what to do. For instance find flight 225 that lands in a city a 5pm and the connecting flight is flight 555 leaving from gate 34 at 6pm. Explain to her that an hour gives you plenty of time to get to the gate. You will never be leaving the airport, which is staffed with allot of security and other employees. Prove that you can do it, and she will probably let you. Good luck!

I see no reason why you can't fly alone. My daughter flew 6,000 miles w. a connecting flight in Germany (she does not speak German), at 13 yr. old, and she was fine. My grandson flew 5 hr. at 10 to a foreign country. I think it is not the flying, but your mother's personal issues that are the problem. ..........................................................
