Check with someone like kayak.com, but I think prices would be higher now than after the olympics.

Can someone tell me why this Southwest flight from Nashville to Phoenix is going to take so long

Can someone tell me why this Southwest flight from Nashville to Phoenix is going to take so long?
i'm originally flying from detroit, and i have a layover in nashville. from detroit to nashville it's only a half hour, but i dont understand why from nashville to phoenix it's 4 hours and 45 minutes? from detroit to phoenix it's only about 4 hours...and detroit seems way farther than nashville from phoenix. can someone please help me understand why it's going to take almost an hour longer when it seems like it's just a straight shot going west? i'm not trying to sound stupid :/ i'm just curious lol. it's just that on a map, detroit seems farther than nashville.

Times are listed in local time and there is a 3 hr time difference from detroit to phoenix. That is the only explanation I've got.
2 :
Actually your flight from Detroit to Nashville should be 90 minutes because Nashville is 1 hour behind Detroit. As for the flight taking longer from Nashville, maybe the airline budgeted more time because Nashville can get busy. Airlines will pad the schedule sometimes if they are flying into and out of a congested airport. But I agree that it appears Nashville is closer to Phoenix than Detroit. I would expect a flight from Detroit to Phoenix to be at least 5 hours.
3 :
Well there are the different time zones but you might also be stopping somewhere along the way to pick up/drop off passengers but not getting off. then the same plane continues to your destination. if that is the case they usually don't tell you because it's not really a layover.

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!
