United has some pretty good deals but I would book early to avoid higher prices due to the holidays.
2 :
Check out Kayak.com. They show rates from all the airlines.
3 :
southewest airlines is the cheapest way to go...
4 :
Travel Zoo. Orbitz, Hotwire, traveloicity, Travel hero, yahoo travel, there are tons. Also watch your newspaper on Sundays, Northwest just a some really great rates like Chicago to NY one way $99.00.
5 :
http://www.kayak.com/ http://www.sidestep.com/air/ also sign up for the airlines (i like southwest the best) direct emails....i get email specials all the time from them but considering you're looking at blackout dates, a deal is not looking too good for you.

Take a plane. I'm being honest.

Should I fly with a slight ache in my ears
Should I fly with a slight ache in my ears?
I'm due to fly tomorrow (short flights, no more than 2.5 hrs) but today I woke up with a slight ringing in my ears and a little pain, mostly in the right ear. Its nothing that I can't bear, but I remember once many years ago on a flight to Phoenix my ears were in incredible pain as we landed. (I don't remember if I had an ear infection back then) I've flown since then with no problems. Any advice to make the trip more comfortable?

Its the changes to the air pressure that you are feeling. When your ears are healthy the pressure in the ear equalizes with the pressure in the cabin automatically. But if you have a ear infection or a blocked nose sometimes your ears will pop or even be painful because of the pressure. Try squeezing your nose and blow through your nose gently. Do you feel your ears pop ? If you do then repeat the exercise during the flight and after take off or landing. You could try Sudafed spray to ease the congestion. If you cant equalize the pressure this way you may feel pain.

My husband is a retired Air Force Pilot and flies our private plane frequently. Here is what he recommends and what I have found really works! Do nothing during takeoff or during the normal part of the flight. When the descent starts (which is when the pain occurs) try to clear your ears yourself. When you can no longer clear your ears, spray AFRIN into your nose two times each side. It will instantly clear your ears and take the pain away! You can only do this one time so make sure you wait until your ears are not clearing before you spray. Also, it won't work a second time so if you have a connecting flight, you're out of luck. BE SURE YOU DO NOT USE THE AFRIN BEFORE OR DURING THE FLIGHT. Only use it on the descent!

What can I do at San Francisco Airport if I arrive at 11.35AM , and my connecting flight is at 3.35PM
What can I do at San Francisco Airport if I arrive at 11.35AM , and my connecting flight is at 3.35PM?
What can I realistically do? Between collecting my luggage (Cathay Pacific, from Hong Kong) and checking it back in to the following flight (US Airways to Phoenix)? I've never been to SF and would like to venture out for an hour or so just to see the sights. Please advise!

You really don't have as much time as you think you have. You would not get your luggage through customs for at least 30 - 45 min. and you have to be at the gate 45 min before. If you leave the airport - you have to go through security again which could add an additional hour if the line is long. See if you can schedule a longer layover - and take the BART into SF - but that is underground so won't see much.
2 :
Realistically, not much. It'll probably take you an hour to get your luggage and clear customs, which makes it 12:30. You should check in and get your boarding pass for the Phoenix flight right away, even if you're checked in you'll need to be back at the airport around 2:30. The 12:39 BART gets to the Powell station downtown at 1:08, and you'd need to catch the 1:57 train to get back to the airport at 2:27. So you'd have about 45 minutes to look at (probably not ride) the cable cars, and soak up the ambiance. Beats hanging around the airport, I guess.
3 :
You will not have enough time to leave the airport and see enough to bother. The minute BART got you to downtown, you would have to head back.
4 :
You should check your luggage straight through to Phoenix from Hong Kong before you leave. Why would you have to pick up your luggage yourself and take it over to U.S. Air? You don't have enough time to go anywhere really. It will be 12 p.m. by the time you get off the plane, and you have to be check in at 2.30 p.m. You really dont have time to leave the airport. So I suggest having a nice lunch and walking around after your long flight.
5 :
you really don't have any time to go from SFO to downtown and back you would need to check in to your 3:30 flight about 45 minutes prior. So call it 2:30pm. There is no real way to check out SF in that short amount of time. The bart train 1 way from the airport to down town is about a 25 - 30 min ride. So that kills an hour already leaving you with 1 hour of time to look around. I would suggest doing sight seeing another time.

Not much you can do ... I'd stay at the airport and shop and dine if I were you.... There is an airport / airplane museum / library if you want some peace and quiet... There's also a Moma store...
