When to buy holiday airfare is often the most difficult part of the process. Deciding where to go, when we want to fly there and who we might travel with is easy. Knowing when to pull the trigger on buying airfare seems to require a crystal ball. Since most of us don't have mystic forecasting abilities, we look to what or who we believe are qualified sources for guidance.

What do hundreds of flight attendants, thousands of under-age prostitutes and the Super Bowl all have in common? Dallas. On Sunday they're all traveling to Texas.

Jan 24th, 2011 at 9:30AM:
Next week I'm to start flight attendant training for American Eagle. But today I got a call from Delta and they want me to go for a face to face interview two days after I'm to start training!

Aug 24th, 2008 at 2:00PM: Passengers on American Eagle flight 4891 from New York's La Guardia airport en route to Cleveland were already running 2 hours late when the pilot asked the flight attendant to advise the passengers that the aircraft would be diverted to Toledo. The reason given was "an emergency has shutdown Cleveland Hopkins Airport". Once the plane landed, passengers whipped out their mobile phones, expecting ...Autistic child kicked off flight
Jun 25th, 2008 at 5:00PM: This is an unbelievable story. It would also make you think we live in old communist Russia, not a country priding itself for valuing diversity. Yes, a mother and her child were kicked off an American Eagle flight because she "wasn't able to control her toddler."
According to ABC Eyewitness News, the mother says she was "doing all she could to calm the autistic boy," but got "no sympathy from the ...
