1 :
it depends on how large the city is where the airport is located and sometimes flights with stops are cheaper than non stop flights
2 :
People will pay more for things they want more....it's the law of supply and demand. Most consumers want the quickest route and are willing to pay for that convenience. I assume you would want that nonstop flight as well. If you are willing to fill seats on less direct routes, airlines must lower the price since there is less demand.
3 :
Because DTW is a hub city for NWA, they have a very large presence there and less competition, and the flight from DTW-LON is non-stop. Both of these factors tend to raise prices. Whatever you do, don't try to purchase the IND-DTW-LON flight and try skip the IND-DTW portion. Your entire itinery will be cancelled when you don't show up for one flight segment.

If it doesn't cost much more, I would fly into Indianapolis. Then look up "Lafayette Limo". They will pick you up and bring you to Purdue's Memorial Union.
2 :
You are correct, there are no commercial flights to Purdue airport in West Lafayette. I live across the river in Lafayette, by the way. Indianapolis airport is about 75 minutes, and Lafayette Limo will take you for $27 one-way. They leave approximately every 2 hours. It is best to have a reservation, especially if you have a lot of baggage. They make a few stops in Lafayette/West Lafayette, so be sure to get off at the right stop. http://www.lafayettelimo.com/ To get from Mumbai to Indianapolis, however, you will have to change planes once or twice. There are no international flights from IND except to Toronto and Cancun. You could fly BOM-EWR-IND, for instance. Or BOM-FRA-YYZ-IND. There are many other possibilities. As for O'Hare, there are nonstop flights BOM-ORD. You can then take Express Air Coach to Purdue. $65, takes about 3 hours. Note that there is a time change - when it is 10:00 at Purdue, it is 9:00 at Chicago. http://www.expressaircoach.com/ I think Jet Airways also has flights to either EWR or JFK. There should be nonstop flights EWR-ORD on Continental, United, and American. JFK-ORD on United, American. JFK-IND on US Airways, Delta. EWR-IND on Continental. Not sure about ticket price, but the flight on Jet Airways or a European airline will likely be nicer than on a US-based airline. Or if you can fly Eastbound, consider Cathay Pacific or Singapore Airlines - they are consistently rated the nicest airlines in the world. They both serve Los Angeles, and from there you can fly nonstop to Indianapolis (on Northwest) or Chicago (on United or American).

Where can I find cheap(under $1000) flights to London, England

Where can I find cheap(under $1000) flights to London, England?
Where can I find flights out of either Louisville, KY; Indianapolis, IN; or Nashville, TN to London, England for under $1000?? Someone told me that now you can get flights over to London for around $300- $400 but, I haven't found that and that's kind of what I'm hoping for but, anything under $1000 on a safe and respectable airline.

Try http://www.expedia.com For flights next week Delta are offering seats from any of your departure points to London for £415 return. With a plane change in Atlanta.
2 :
The odds of you finding a plane ticket for $300 to $400 between the US and UK are now slim -- while this was not uncommon several years ago, the price of tickets has increased to the point where the cheapest winter fares between the US and UK are probably in the $600-$700 range, when they do go on sale. Additionally, keep in mind that these cheaper fares are likely only to be found during the winter, which is the low season for travel to Europe. If you're looking to fly during the summer (between Memorial Day and Labor Day), then the $1000 prices are probably going to be the best you're going to get.
3 :
AA.com has flights to Europe on sale right now until the end of Nov from various US airports for travel until Apr 17,2011
4 :
Certain times of the year you can get really low cost flights to London. It is mainly in December, January and February. Go to www.tripadvisor.com and play with the dates. Be sure to allow plenty of advanced notice. Also look at Cincinnati (CVG) since Delta has non-stop flights from there. I put in Jan. 12-19 CVG-LHR and got a fare of $492 plus tax, total $694, on USAirways.

I found Northwest at $243 RT per person http://www.nwa.com also found Southwest at $ 229.20 RT per person with this being nonstop both ways. http://www.southwest.com These are great prices and they aren't going to go any lower. You have to book immediately to get these low prices. Northwest has only a few seat left. Southwest goes fast so hurry.
2 :
The best way to get a great deal is to book them separately. For flights, check sites like Southwest airlines or US Airways. Also do a search on kayak engine. It will check all airlines going to Vegas and all major travel sites and return the cheapest fare. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/cheap-flights.php For hotels, book directly from the hotels using their discount promo codes to get the maximum discounts. Here are a few codes. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/special.php

Congratulations on picking potentially the hottest week of the year... no joke... but anyways. Finding discount airfare is not easy.. In fact you might not find it unless you are willing to fly at really bad hours or make a lot of layovers. This is a reprint of an article published by CNN Money on "5 Ways to Fly Cheaper" http://www.kidsinvegas.com/airlines-flights/80-5-ways-to-fly-cheaper.html It offers some very sound advice. Have a fun trip, bring loose comfortable clothing, sunblock, sunglasses, and really comfortable walking shoes.

Best time to buy cheap airfare to Disney World in September

Best time to buy cheap airfare to Disney World in September?
We will be going to Walt Disney World in September. I haven't bought the airline tickets yet. The fares are still a bit too high (Indianapolis to Orlando) so I have been waiting for a lower price. How much longer should I wait? When is the most economical time to buy a low-cost airfare ticket for September flights? Thanks! Sounds good! The only thing is that my dates are fixed: Leave September 13th, Return September 19th. I know those days of the week aren't ideal, but those are the days I have to travel, unfortunately.

It will probably keep going up. If your trip includes Labor Day, then you will be paying more than if you go other times in September. See http://www.travelbargainsites.com for a list of cheap travel sites. Once you find the lowest going rate, you can haggle it down through Priceline or Hotwire.

If you can time it right, it would be cheapest to fly Southwest. We are not accepting reservations for September yet, but when we open the schedule for your dates, you can probably get a "Web Special" fare which usually varies between $79 and $100 dollars per person. The schedule will open up for those dates on June 26...I would check then!

With the rising cost of fuel, the sooner the better. But they'll probably be at their cheapest as long as there are no holidays right around the time you are searching. I was looking for airfare as soon as flights were available, and i found a nonstop flight for my dad, Newark to Orlando and it was Continental for $200 total! Too bad he didnt grab it, he thought he had time, so he waited like a month and ended up paying $300 something. So the sooner the better. In my case, i'm Indianapolis to ORL like you and it was always expensive! The best deal i got was $450 per person but then when i bought it it didnt go through, on cheaptickets and i called them and they said it was because the airline was charging more, so it was close to $500 per person, atleast non stop, but that was as the price as soon as any flights were available. Good luck.
5 :
you really need to buy them now. first of all the rates will continue to go up until the gas prices come down and that is not happening any time soon. i am going to disney december 27th to january 2nd and i have already purchased my airfare. secondly seats for orlando fill up fast. and usually just small planes with 2 seats the isle and 2 more seats. trying to get seats too close to the date you are leaveing would be a big mistake. you wouldn't want to forefit you trip because you couldn't get a flight. i urge you not to wait.

I just wrote about this on my blog today (http://www.beechin.com/personal-finance/4-ways-to-find-cheap-airfare-on-flights/). As a quick summary: 1. kayak.com or farecast.com (farecast will give you recommendation of "buy" or "wait" based on historical data 2. off peak dates (tuesday and wednesday) 3. buy during the cheapest TIME of day (early in the morning + 5 PM) 4. look for a package deal (with rental car + hotel)
