well
I have used www.orbitz.com and www.travelocity.com and both were great for me. Found exactly what I needed and had lots of choices also. Worth a look. Good luck. Later.

Orbitz is good. I wouldn't recommend Yahoo Travel, they screw up alot of reservations, and generally you have to make alot of connections. Priceline has fairly cheap travel, as does Cheaptickets. United Airlines is a good place to check as well ( www.ual.com ), as is Southwest.com. Depends on where you're going really, and your best bet is to shop around.

Hmm, see my problem with flying is, I may have to change planes and I'm not good with my nerves when it comes to that. I'll freak out, get lost, or miss my plane. It's bad enough I'll be flying alone.

I had the same difficulty for a while, but then you get used to it very fast. Mainly, leave over an hour between arrival and departure times at your flight changes. Think DOUBLE the time you could possibly concieve for LAX and O'Hare. Check luggage if you are going away for more than 4 days, and always have your valuables, cash, toiletries, and a spare change of clothing in your carry on. If you can, wear no metal, not even an underwire bra, and wear shoes that you can remove easily, but are still comfortable. Get to the airport about an hour and a half, to two hours before your flight is schedualed to board, not from when it's going to depart. Bring a Good Book. When changing planes, it's a good idea to have a calling card handy, so you can update who will be meeting you at the airport, even if it is a service. This way, you aren't stranded. Make sure that the person picking you up knows to meet you at something fairly easy to locate, like the baggage retrieval for your specific flight.

Uncle Lukky's new theories on air travel
Check everything but your book and your wallet/purse, and you cell phone if you carry one. Nothing to carry. If they lose your luggage they will find it or pay, either way it's not a big deal compared to hauling shit through an airport.
Leave plenty of time, tell the person who checks you in you're nervous, and from then on treat it like a busy day at the mall. With metal detectors. ~shrug~ You're going to do it, you might as well do what you can to make it easy and try to enjoy it. Get past security, find your gate, and if you're so inclined have one drink before you get seated and read until it's time to board.

if you ask the people at the counter real nice, i bet they'll send some really cute guy with an electric courtesy cart to drive you around and maybe even hold your hand, too!
they always did that for me, at least.
i mean.. uhh.. it was a girl not a guy, though.. i mean, why would i want a cute guy to hold my hand? er... shit

Seriously, an airport terminal is a lot like a mall. There are shops and snack bars where you can kill any waiting time.
Don't talk yourself into a panic attack. If you expect to have problems, you'll manufacture some to fulfill your fears. Go into this trip confident and everthing will go just fine.
When you're scheduling, try to schedule a non-stop. If you can't schedule a non-stop, then try to avoid the big hubs -- Dallas/FortWorth, Denver, LA, Chicago, Altanta, and San Francisco.
If you can't avoid a big hub, make sure you stay with the sam airline if at all possible. Changing airlines as well as planes probbly means you need to leave one concourse and go through security again to make your connection. Satying on the same airline, means you probably won't have to deal with security twice.

Ok, I really hate the mall and I freak out there too, but usually I'm 'with' someone. Remember, I don't drive...so I never go anywhere alone unless I can walk there. I honestly couldn't get from one spot in a big airport to another without help. I'll be leaving Louisville of course and going to Portland Maine if I do go. There are no nonstops, I have checked at a few of the places people posted. I don't give a flying fuck about luggage or anything it's 'me' I'm worried about getting there. It's the whole 'alone' thing, I'm not good at that, never have been. The plane ride I can handle, its just getting through the airport to the next plane that is the hard part. UGH, the things you considering doing just to see someone.

If you go to travelocity.com, and register, you can have them let you know when the fare goes down from your city to the specific city you are interested in. It is called farewatcher.......you can have them watch the fares for more than one city.
