Online Tickets and Airline Travel

Archive for June, 2008

Pls help me to know if there is any direct ( or even with 1 or 2 stops by the same carrier ) link between Johannesburg ( South Africa ) with Santiago ( Chile ) by any airline ? As these places are almost on the same lattitude, the traveller doesn’t wish to go via Europe or Americas and I believe there must be some air link from between these 2 continents directly even if it is upto Argentina.
Which are those sites with the help of which I can see any such possibility on any route ?
Please Help. Thanks

I think their should be a direct link, since large planes can easily pass it without stopping to refuel.

There's a direct air link between New York and Israel, and that's far, so South Africa and Chile probably yes.

I am Egyptian,getting married in December, want to spend my honeymoon in Malaysia for a week. I need to know the best package for that including tickets (departure/Cairo).
I must return back to Cairo in January (any day during the first week).
I just need a good hotel to stay in with a good price around $150 per person.
Thank you

Hi, I am Egyptian and I also went to the far east during my honey moon. Malaysia is amazing so go for it, but I would advise you to select another destination instead of Singapore. It is a big city, very expensive and not much to do nor see. Not very romantic too.
My recommendation is Bali, anyways it is up to you. As for the tavel agents:

If I buy 2 months in advance and ticket prices go up……will I have to pay the difference when I actually take the flight?

Absolutely not. The price you pay is the price you get. Airplane tickets are always a gamble, because prices flucuate almost daily (up or down). The only time you would have to pay a fare difference after you book your tickets is if you change your flight (date or time). Then you may get socked a $100 change fee, along w/the difference in fare. I booked a flight to Maui 6 months ago and only paid $500 per person. That same flight is now priced at $1300 per person. I get to ride in the same seats that someone else paid $800 more for. It usually pays to book in advance and get a flight/hotel package if possible. Also, remember to check-in online 24hrs in advance. This will reduce the likelihood of you getting bumped off an overbooked flight. There are some folks that like to get bumped because they'll put you on the next available flight (either w/them or another carrier) and they'll give you a voucher for a future flight. Happy travels!

I know they give you cheap prices and what not but how good are the Hotels since they dont tell you what hotel you book until the process is complete?

pick 3 star or higher and it will be fine.

Information on Skywest Airlines.?

Jun-9-2008 By admin

I am applying for a flight attendant position with Skywest Airlines. Does anyone have some helpful information regarding the company and how it would be like to work with them?

The website listed below has great information about flight attendant positions. They also have interview overviews for some of the airlines, which skywest is one of them. They cost about 10 dollars, but they may be helpful.

The first link shows all the airlines and the open application locations and times.
The second link has the page with the overviews for the airlines availble.

I bought my airline tickets on cheaptickits.com. How do I check in onlineat Delta.com, (the airline i'm flying). I have the confirmation code, and the airline ticket number. I tried checking in a couple minutes ago, since my flight leaves t 10:15 am tomorrow. I put in my confrimation code and would not accept it. How do I retrive my tickets online?

You should try calling Delta to confirm w/someone over the phone just to be on the safe side. It should've excepted it. I believe you are supposed to check-in 24hrs before the scheduled flight. Try going online once more and if it doesn't work again, then I would call Delta.
