Let's say there is an available booking from A-B-C, but I actually live in B. Can I book the flights and travel on the B-C flight only? I'm asking this because the A-B-C ticket is considerably cheaper than B-C ticket.   If that is not possible, are there any tricks to take advantage of the cheaper A-B-C price compared to B-C?

Say I want to book a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Chicago.  Say the airline also flies to St. Louis from Fort Launderdale but has a connecting flight through Chicago.  If I book that flights from FLL->ORD->STL and just get off in Chicago, what possible problems can I run into, assuming I didn't check any bags and only have carry on?  This scenario exist for Southwest, but I wanted this be more of a general question that would apply to all airlines.

Several airline and trip planning sites will allow you to check "I am flexible with my dates" or a similar option.  Is there any way to also search more broadly for location?  For example, if you wanted to leave from YYZ or YKF and arrive at any airport in California, can a search for such flights be done somehow?  I ask because when I plan plane trips, I want the lowest price.  I'm OK with leaving a day or two later if I save $200 (same with the return trip).  There are 3 airports within 80 km of me, I'll leave from the one with the cheapest flight. And I'm also OK with changing the trip to spend time exploring San Francisco instead of lying on the beach near San Diego, and that sort of thing.  Normally this would take dozens of searches, but I'd like to see it all at once.

I've travelled a lot.  Living in New Zealand or the UK means anywhere is likely a flight, but I've always flown economy.  Twice between LA and Auckland I managed to get the exit row after talking nicely to the check-in girl, but apart from that, nothing.  I've spoken to ticket agents, tried 'check in chicken' (where you wait until the last minute before checking in, hoping there's an overbooking of economy) but have never managed to get an upgrade, while others I know seemingly get them quite often.  What strategy have you used or do you suggest to achieve this?  My next flight is from Melbourne to Tokyo, and I plan on trying all of these ;)  (Related questions on  and  upgrades)

We booked 2 tickets using discount club to complete the booking. During booking it was said that you have to be a passenger in order to use Wizzair Discount Club. But now something came up and the membership holder cannot travel.  My question is whether the other traveler can still use the flight?  If not, what are our options? Can we amend the booking in any way? Is the money we payed refundable in any way (or can be reused)?

I'm flying to Tokyo. The flight was sold through Finnair. The first leg is operated by American Airlines. The second and final legs are operated by Finnair.  When I checked in online, it said that some airports on my journey (didn't say which one) don't allow mobile boarding passes?? Meaning I will need a physical copy.  Unfortunately I don't have easy access to a printer. Will I still be able to print all my boarding passes at the airport even though I already checked in online?

Is there a search engine to find regular service flights between cities ? Given two cities, airline optional, I'd like to see a list of flight numbers and their departure/arrival times. Unlike regular searches, I'm not interested in prices/purchasing and I'd like to see all flights available even if the earliest departure has already past.    Context: A friend is flying into town today from Calgary, but I don't know when. I happen to know it's Air Canada so I found the routes and flight numbers on their website, but assuming I didn't, where would I find this information (besides asking her for the flight number obviously :) ?

Recently I booked a flight using my points. I am  planning to fly to Seattle WA from Indianapolis Indiana.  Stop over is Chicago.  On the day of my flight I am supposed to be in Chicago.   So I was wondering if I can directly board my Seattle flight from Chicago thereby not showing up in Indianapolis.  Is this okay?  Will United airlines cancel my entire journey if I do not show up in Indianapolis?

Has anyone ever booked a flight with ?  I am just wondering where they get their prices and data from, and if I might find a cheaper flight by using something like Expedia or Travelocity.

Suppose I want to go from Station A to Station C but Station C is not a stoppage of some train say train 01, so I can get a combined ticket from station A to Station B  through train 01 plus Station B to station C through a different train say 02, so my total fare will be of same ticket as from Station A to Station C.  We can get Combined ticket from the Booking Window but how's that possible on the IRCTC website?

If someone else is booking international ticket for me using his credit or debit card, does he need to be present physically at the time of check-in?   Suppose I am coming back from Singapore to my home country and my ticket is booked by my friend for me, who lives in my home country. Do airlines in Singapore ask for the person to be present physically to check in?

I’ve been doing some research on traveling to South America and staying for an extended period of time (working vacation). The usual sources for flight info (Kayak, Expedia, Hipmunk) don’t have any info on flights with open return dates.  The other option would be to just buy a one-way ticket, then buy a return flight when I want to leave, but I’ve heard that international flights from South America are quite expensive.  What would be the most cost-effective solution?

Recently I traveled with American Airlines. I had a bad experience as I felt they were terribly outdated, so I complained with their customer service, who, ironically, gave me a paper voucher that I can redeem on my next flight.  Now... seems like this paper voucher that looks like a plane ticket can't be used while booking online, is that true?  How I can redeem it? I read somewhere that I have to do a phone reservation and then mail the voucher. Really? That's so outdated

When I buy my plane tickets there's often certain things I want such as:   Ticket valid for 12 months No fee for return date changes Stopovers in both directions   Now it seems that these days your E-ticket is basically a number. So you get an itinerary that your travel agent prints out with your E-ticket number, some other reference numbers, and some, but not all conditions of your ticket.  From what I know of air tickets there are all manner of codes for all kinds of conditions, including things like in my list above, but they are vastly complicated and don't necessarily map directly to the simple English phrases I used.  My question is How can I check that the ticket I bought actually does have all the things I asked for? What if the agent made a mistake or a wrong assumption or printed the wrong thing on my printout. It's not a printout the airline made after all.  I made sure when booking my ticket to ask multiple times on each point. But I didn't get the agent to put it in writing and sign it.  What just happened:   My printout says my ticket was valid for 12 months but when I called the local airline office to change the date they didn't think my ticket was valid for a year after all! (It turned out it was a year ticket after all this time.) My printout says date changes will cost $75. But the local airline office told me changes are free! (This time luck is on my side.) My travel agent only booked my stopover on the way to my destination and not the one on my return flight. They assured me I can change it while I'm travelling with no problem. But the local airline office tells me it's not so simple after all and if it's even possible it will require some fees! (This time luck may be against me.)   How can you make sure all of this stuff is what was promised / what is printed before it bites you?

I'm looking to take a spontaneous trip for a long weekend. The date is flexible and the destination can be anywhere in the world. Is there a site that would allow me to search airfares within a date range, while keeping the destination parameters open?

I almost always seem to be traveling on full flights. So almost never have the luxury to be able to change seats or even rows.  Is there any way to find out beforehand if a specific flight is on average not fully booked?  I am looking for an average load factor on a specific route.

I came to know about , it's a website that allow search for flights by country. I mean you just enter from like "Germany" and to like "Belgium" and you get best offers from all airports between the two countries. That is great. And I was able to arrange a good-price trip to Brussels.   Now I want to arrange another trip to Turkey, but Whichbudget is not helping much this time. And I can't find any other websites that allow "search by country".   Update: Not duplicate to  as his question is broad to the extent of a state. But my question is broad to the extent of a whole country + less price + "Any Time". If anyone checks , he'll understand what I'm saying. Especially that whichbudget allows "Any Time" option, not just +/-3 days.  Does anyone know more similar websites?
