If you already book your flight, it will show on your itinerary folowing your e-ticket. Check your email! The search you did (the link) was for roundtrip: leaving Amsterdam Feb-15-2008 and return 02-21-2008. You need to click on "ONE WAY" button to book the one way ticket. If after reading the itinerary you're still confuse, call the Customer Service, the number usually listed on the e-ticket. Have a nice and safe flight!!

There are 4 flights leaving Schiphol, for San Jose, on the 21st February, '08. These are at 0700hrs, 0720hrs, 1235hrs and 2020hrs. They all involve at least 2 transfers and the only one that will get you to San Jose the same day is the 0700 flight, which arrives at 2139hrs. The others arrive at 0129hrs, 0806hrs and 1930hrs respectively on the 22nd Feb. Go back to the page you have mentioned and under plan & book, click on to one-way, and then type in the 21st Feb, in the departure date. Press search, and when the list of destinations appears, click on to San Jose US. The full details of the 4 flights will then appear. The airlines involved are Continental, Delta, US Airways & United Airlines. Addition. Where are your manners? Firstly you don't even ask a question, you more or less demand information, without a please in sight. Then after searching for and supplying information to you, the response is "thanks for nothing!". You are expecting people on here to do your homework for you, by pretending that your need for help is real, and you don't even know how to explain yourself to begin with. I would suggest you study and grasp how the 24 hour clock works, as it really is very easy. I will certainly NOT be offering any further assistance to you.

How can I work out a good flight cost comparison

How can I work out a good flight cost comparison?
I am going to be travelling with Raleigh International next year, either to Kota Kinabalu in Borneo or to San Jose , Juan Santamaria in Costa Rica. To decide I need to compare the cost of return flights but I am having such a hard time of it. All websites I have seen are commercial and can't give me a straight answer. I will be travelling there on the 10th of October 2010 and returning 17th December 2010. Does anyone know which is more expensive to travel to? - Costa Rica or Borneo? Any idea how much I will be paying for a return flight around that time? Any websites that will give me a fair comparison for something so far into the future? Ok but does anyone know how much of a difference in cost between a flight to either country would roughly be, disregarding what time of the year?

Sorry. Even the airlines don't know what they will be doing over a year in advance. Airlines only publish their schedule and fares about ten months in advance.

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

Info on airlines and being a flight attendant

Info on airlines and being a flight attendant?
Okay so when i graduate high school i really want to become a flight attendant. (But i want an actual career in psychology. ) soo i WILL be attending college DURING my flight attendent career. i heard that is possible. can i still get my degrees as fast as everyone else if i take alot of online classes and dedicate myself to keeping up with classes? Also i am not sure what airline i should choose? i currently live in California around san luis obispo and the nearst large airports are LAX and San Jose. So i would probably have to relocate wouldnt i? I can do that thats not a big problem but i do want to pick an airline that travels internationally. prefably to places like france because i am currently studying that language and i do want to someday move to france for a few years. What airline does that? LAX would be the best base for me because i do want to stay in california but its so expensive down there! so now that you know my situation if you have any better ideas or suggestions pleeeaase let me know!!!!

There is the San Luis Airport, you planning on going to cal poly or cuesta? Those flight route SLo to San Fran, Slo to LA Slo to phonenix are very short. Also check out santa maria airport Oh after you work your way up the latter you can probably transfer as well flight attendant career and college to the big citys like LA and San Fran sand do your internaitonal stuff.

In order to travel to france fromt the United States as a steward you would most likely have to work for two airlines as connnections. But really your best bet would be to fly to Dublin considering terminal 2 is opening in november and that will be Delta's european base(now working for the worlds largest airline by fleet size is good for your CV). Delta will most likely fly direct from dublin to new york.I know Aer Lingus,Delta and Continental all currently fly Dublin-Shannon-New Ark but when terminal 2 opens in november they will operate direct to New Ark from Dublin.You may get flights coming in from france connecting into Dublin then back out into New Ark,which might suit you better tough you will have to work longer hours. I am not presently sure if there will be direct flights/connecting flights that go from Dublin to the airports you mentioned it might be worth your while contacting Delta to find out that information. I hope this information has helped you out.

Unless you work for a very small regional airline, you heard wrong. When you hire on with an airline, you go to the bottom of the seniority list, that means you work on call with a couple hours notice, and cover for anyone out sick or on vacation. You might have a one or two day layover at another city somewhere. You aren't going to have anything like a regular schedule. Even FA's with seniority can't plan their routine, as airlines will change flights and times about every three or four months to accommodate flight loads or route changes. Even taking online courses, might depend on when your school work needs to be finished, and you might be somewhere else. You don't have much time to do school work on a layover. It's usually eat, sleep, and gone again. What airport you work out of depends entirely if it's a hub for that airline or not, and where their job openings are. You'll relocate where they need you.

Gromit is correct in his answer. It will take you twice as long to get your degree if you try to go to college and work as a flight attendant. Best to get the degree first...the job will always be there, and by then, perhaps the majors will be hiring again- as those are the airlines who are going to fly to France. Another thing to consider is that LA tends to be a very senior base for most airlines, so even if your airline has a base there, you may still be stuck flying out of NY or some other city.
5 :
First of all you would not be able to fly internationally for years because you would be on reserve and you might have to relocate to an airport across the country. Make your decision school of flight attendent. Done tons of research on this for years. But after a few months you might be able to relocate to your airlines chosen base.

Your in luck, i just booked my flight + hotel to SanFran thru a coupon site and saved about 20%, they offer exclusive deals from travel sites like expedia, priceline, and travelocity. Check out: http://www.coupondawg.com/ Look on the left hand side for different travel sites. I also found the cheapest hotel prices on: http://www.coupondawg.com/coupons/tag/agoda/

I found a great deal from Milwaukee to San Jose Cabo via Frontier Airlines. It's $569 round-trip with only one stop in Denver both times. There's no non-stop flight from Milwaukee anyways. The dates were Dec 18 to Jan 4. Flying on the 3rd of Jan yielded $650 as the lowest price with Mexicana, so try Monday the 4th instead. Frontier happens to be my favorite airline, so I would highly recommend them. You can look at their website, or alternatively the website I used-Kayak
