Amtrak is good. Here is your best option... http://tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrak Good luck , Have fun...
2 :
If you are not going to fly you could take the bus. It is cheaper and probably as fast as amtrak. the trains in the U.S. are not like the trains in Europe
3 :
Driving takes three to four hours, so by train it will be about the same. Unless you get lucky and the freight trains don't hold you up.
4 :
i make that trip at least once a month. just take I-20 straight to louisiana, it passes right through the middle of shreveport. very simple.
5 :
I-20 east and there you are. I would drive. It's like the other person said only 3 hours or so.
6 :
i actually JUST got back home to dallas from shrevepot about an hour ago. The best way is to drive. Its a boring drive... but its only 3 hours. From Dallas.. take 635 south to 80. Then that to I20 east and that will take you all the way to Shreveport. The speed limit is 70 daytime and 65 night time pretty much the whole way.

Minor's flight information

Minor's flight information!?
Okay... so im going to make this simple.. i need help please it is important. I am a 15 year old boy. Live in Chicago and going to Fort Worth, Texas. (most likely departing from O'Hare airport. Although Midway would be preferable for I live 5 minutes away from it) Well here are some questions i would like answered. help will be appreciated.. i am DESPERATE. 1.- So ive checked online for tickets. It asks "time for departure and return" then gives me a cost after ive chosen the flights. of $364. now is this for both the flights.. or for each (meaning to go $364 and to come $364 totaling to around $730 +bagging costs and all)?? 2.- Okay.. I am aware of the unacopanied minor services, or the normal services (meaning no chaperone and no extra costs) I will NOT choose the service, which makes me like an adult traveling i believe. and am submitted to searching and being pulled out for further information or such. now.. even if i do not choose it. Do i still need my parents or guardian to drop me off? 3.- Ofcourse.. no I.D. other than school I.D. will be available. will that work out? 4.- around what is the cost for like bags being put in the airplane? 5.- any extra info you would think reliable please

1. It will depend on how the website is configured. There are sites which would give you the total cost immediately for the roundtrip tkt but there are times when it gives you the breakdown per direction instead. Have you got to the part where it says total cost. That page will tell you the total cost for the roundtrip fare. 2 normally somebody would have to accompany you during check in. Could somebody assist you during check in? It would be better if you have somebody with you and look like a kid than miss your flight. 3. call the airline company you are travelling with and check with them what form of identification will be acceptable for the specific airport you are departing from. TSA.GOV is very helpful. http://www.tsa.gov https://contact.tsa.dhs.gov/DynaForm.aspx?FormID=60 4. Baggage....it will depend on the airline you are travelling with. Check on their site for baggage information. It is better than calling them. 5. SINCE you are a minor and travelling alone it is advisable for you to choose a non stop flight. Trust me, it will keep you out of trouble.

Look up southwest.com. They only have a policy for children traveling alone for 12 and under. So you will be okay. If you are planning on doing a round trip the fees can be different depending on the day of the week you travel. You can purchase a outgoing flight for 145 and a returning flight for more or less depending on the time and day. Also check out airtran they are the airlines that are offering great deals right now. You can go to the end and get a total of the trip including taxes without putting any information in. As for being 15 you will need your school ID to enter security, up to 15 no ID is needed. Most airlines are charging 15 for first check in bag each way. All the food aboard the plane will cost, so buy a snack at the airport for your flight. Some airlines also charge if you want to book a certain seat. These fees run anywhere from 5 -20 depending on the seat. Remember if you choose a seat you will be charged if you change it. If you give the dates you are looking for travel and the airport codes I will see what I can come up with.

My flight arrives in Houston at 10:30 PM on a Sunday, and I need to get to Fort Worth, probably by Greyhound...but I dunno how to get to the Greyhound station D: Is there a shuttle, or a bus, or a magic dolphin that can take me there? Please let me know if so! (cabs are a little too expensive for me) Thanks! :D

Metro has a bus route that will take you pretty close to the Greyhound station, but it does not run that late at night. http://www.ridemetro.org/Services/airport_direct.aspx It seems like a lot of trouble and expense to to take a taxi and then a long bus ride to Fort Worth. You are already at the airport just hop on a plane to Dallas Fort Worth Airport.
2 :
Unfortunately there aren't many options at night. Basically it's the taxi. I'm sorry. It's probably still cheaper than a flight between the two cities.
3 :
I was going to suggest a cab but Metro does have a service called Airport Direct. Its $15 and it will take you from the airport to there hub which is about a block over from the bus station. I will admit though Sundays downtown are pretty empty but there are lot of the wrong kind of people down there on Sunday nights (homeless,drug dealers, hustlers, etc.) and a lot of them hang near the bus station, the McDonald's near the station and under the freeway. Good luck. the website is ridemetro.org and use the airport direct link for more info

Can I bring Tim Horton's donuts on a plane into the US

Can I bring Tim Horton's donuts on a plane into the US?
I'm a Canadian flying to DFW (Dallas Fort Worth), and my friend wants me to bring him some Timbits. Am I allowed to bring these on the flight? Or allowed to bring them through US security before I get my luggage? I'm a Canadian flying to DFW (Dallas Fort Worth), and my friend wants me to bring him some Timbits. Am I allowed to bring these on the flight? Or allowed to bring them through US security before I get my luggage? Also can I have link that legally says I can?

yes you can bring. but you have to pack in your luggage. you can't carry in. My family brought food stuff from abroad, and they had no problem at all. Good Luck and don't forget to send me some... :)
2 :
Perishables are not allowed in carryon bags, and I don't think it would be wise to stick Tim Horton's donuts in checked luggage the entire way. You can choose to buy Timbits after having gone through security at the airport; you may carry it onboard then for the flight to DFW. Most major Canadian airports will have a Tim's inside security.
3 :
Both answers thusfar are incorrect -- there are no prohibitions against either boarding an aircraft with donuts or other baked goods, nor are they prohibited from being imported into the US. (The link below, most specifically, deals with the importation of food into the US -- there are no listed restrictions on baked goods. Their concern is primarily with meats or fruits/vegetables.) The benefit to purchasing them inside security, if your airport has a Tim Hortons on the US side of security, is that they'll likely be fresher when they arrive into DFW, but if you have to buy them before security or buy them before you get to the airport, you're not going to get hassles from anyone (except maybe from a scanner who jokes around with you, thinking that you've brought them breakfast). Keep in mind, though, that if you buy them before you go through US Customs, that you'll want to declare them (as you would any other item).

I need a flight to Dallas for A-kon

I need a flight to Dallas for A-kon?
I have looked for days to find an affordable flight to Dallas, Texas for the A-kon Convention (largest Anime Convention in the US.) Last night I finally found one but then when I went back the next day to book it, I couldn't find the flight. If anyone can find me this flight, one cheaper, or a cheap plane ticket/hotel site I would be very greatful. This means so much my sister and I. The website was Expedia We would leave from CHS on May 28 We would make a connection to Chicago, then go to Dallas Fort Worth Airport (DFW.) We would stay at the Days Inn Texas Stadium Irving The Convention is at 400 Olive St. We would leave June 1. Go from DFW to Washington DC, the CHS. There will be 3 people going, My father, my sister and myself. Ages are adult, 12 and 14. Most important! The flight I found was 901 for flight and hotel. It needs to be under 1000 dollars.

I did some searching and found flights under $900. I would recommend checking out BookMe dot com. You can compare ALL the reputable travel sites, and save money. Good luck!
3 :
You might try Southwest Airlines.... They are usually fairly price and cheap. However, you have to change planes either in Okahoma City, Houston, or New Orleans that will take you to Love Field in Dallas, Texas....much closer to the A-KON Convention than DFW Airport. Also, for hotel in Downtown Dallas it is going to be a bit expensive. However, there are low price Motels/Hotels that are along the northern part of Dallas next to the DART Rail line, which takes you to the Pearl Station next to the hotel where A-KON is located. - - - - - - P.S. I will be working as a volunteer at the A-KON again this year. In case you are interested.

Because air fares in the USA ricochet up and down like a ping pong ball, you have to keep checking websites regularly and then book the flight the instant you see a good fare. It might not be there in the next 10 minutes if you don't!

Cheapest flight from DFW to JFK

Cheapest flight from DFW to JFK? I need some help on finding a cheap ticket from Dallas Fort Worth (Texas), to John F. Kennedy (New York). I'm 16 years old, and i'm hoping to visit some of my family for my summer break from school for my birthday. I would like to leave June 8th. I would like to return to Texas in July sometime. The latest I can stay is around July 31 [give or take a couple of days]. I would like to at least be in New York until July 20th. It is really difficult for me trying to find a cheap flight. I'm try to scrape up enough money to do this, but it is very difficult right now. If you could let me know what flights are cheaper, I would really appreciate it! Thank you very much. Air Travel - 3 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : Try American Airlines. Make sure you check different dates, the price may be lower on some days than others. Other airlines to check are Delta Airlines and US Airways One website that you may also want to check is kayak.com Good luck! 2 : just ask yahoo travel. yahoo will find you the best fare. 3 : I use kayak.com for the best fare. It's really conclusive and checks all the major, and some small, airlines, as well as many other travel websites. 4 : I just went to LGA and back on Airtran for about $180 round trip (why JFK in particular?). You have to go via Atlanta, but that's no big deal--just leave a couple hours in between flights, If you reallly want the cheapest flight, even though you have to get up before the sparrows do: June 10th to LGA 100/362 6:45 AM 4:21 PM 1 stop $79 July 20th to DFW 422/109 5:59 PM 12:37 AM 1 stop $79* (plus taxes) You can also check Newark...quick train ride into Manhattan Penn Station for $17, I think! you might also want to sign up for "fare alert" on airfarewatchdog.com Good luck....
