Airline Research - chapter 18: Please work with an adult

Louis requests help from Sam Beaver, and says that he will pay Sam's plane fare. (p 170)  Do some comparative shopping.  Find out how much the plane fare is from Billings, Montana to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  How long is the flight?  Is it a non-stop flight?  Is there more than one airline servicing that area?   What was the best deal you found?

You may also want to play around with traveling at different times of the year.  Does it cost more or less to fly during the week of Thanksgiving (November 19-25) compared to the end of October?

  1. I found out that if Sam he would need an adult if they take a flight from Billings,Montana to Philadelphia,Pennsylvania on October 31st it would cost $434.10 if you where riding on United Airlines, it would take you 7 hours and 6 minutes. If they wanted to take a flight on November 22nd or Thanksgiving it would cost $262.10 on United Airlines they would stay on the plane for 6 hours and 32 minutes. So it would cost less on Thanksgiving and you would stay on the plane less. If they fly on my birthday April 20 it would cost them $278.90 on U.S. Airways but, it has 2 stops and would take 14 hours and 36 minutes, if you take United Airways it would take 6 hours and cost $262.10 this flight would be 1 stop. I would take United Airways because it would cost less and you would stay on the plane less.
