I couldn't drive that distance without an overnight break in the middle and I personally would not be willing to lose 4 days of my vacation. We will only drive up to 10 hours, which we can do in one day, before giving it up and paying to fly! There are 6 of us, also.What is cheaper for a family of six, to go from texas to california, driving or taking a plane?
driving. The breakeven is 2 airline ticketsWhat is cheaper for a family of six, to go from texas to california, driving or taking a plane?driving is cheaper. you figure gas is $3 a gallon. and depending on where it is its around 1500 miles.What is cheaper for a family of six, to go from texas to california, driving or taking a plane?
There comes a point where the dollar advantages changes to driving I think that it may be around 4 people

The math

HOU%26gt;LAX 1600mi x2 =3200mi @25 mpg=128 gal@ $3.00gal= $ 384.00

8 guest nights in Motel 6 @ $ 40.00 per night =$ 320.00

How did i get the 8 guest nite #

You need 2 rooms per night and you are going to spend 2 nights in motels on both your EB %26amp; WB legs

Subtotal $ 704 .00

Then comes the food expense

I don't think that it would be unreasonable to use a figure of $ 20.00 per person per day as ball park number

So 2.5 days EB +2.5 days WB = 5 days @ $ 120.00 per day = $ 600.00+ 704 =$ 1304

You can obviously save some money by reducing the number of days on the road But realistically speaking large numbers of people don't make it easy to drive 800-900 miles a day two days in a row

Another thing that can and does save you money on flights is what airports you fly into and out of

So if you gotta drive a couple of hundred miles to DFW or HOU it may be worth it in the long runWhat is cheaper for a family of six, to go from texas to california, driving or taking a plane?Depends on where your going. Buy far enough in advance and its $49 one way. Driving will still be less but whats your sanity and time worth.

How common is it to throw up/have diarrhea the first time on a plane ride?

I'm nervous to be on a plane the first time. How common is it to throw up or have diarrhea on your first plane ride anywhere?How common is it to throw up/have diarrhea the first time on a plane ride?Travel sickness/Air sickness affects only a minority of people, unless you are particularly susceptible to this kind of sickness, then I'd say it was very low. As for diarrhoea this is caused by food bugs and allergic reactions, so unless you eat something bad you're unlikely to suffer.How common is it to throw up/have diarrhea the first time on a plane ride?Stress may also cause loose bowel syndrome......How common is it to throw up/have diarrhea the first time on a plane ride?It is extremely uncommon.



About one in a thousand airline passengers experiences motion sickness aboard a flight, which, if it is severe, may cause a passenger to vomit. The incidence is slightly higher in heavy turbulence. But overall, airplanes produce far less motion sickness than cars or boats.

Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?

I watched the movie United 93 and I saw people using their cell phones while the plane was in the air (when it was going down) - is it possible to use your cell phone on the airplane if it is low enough?Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?Well i saw an episode of Mythbusters and they tested the theory that if you use a cell phone on a plane it messes with the plane's equipment and crashes. They found out that it has no effect on the important devices, but it's not wise to take the chance. technically you can use a cellphone on a plane, but the airline most likely forbids it. I would rather be safe than sorry.Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?
Well, since it was Flight 93 they used their phones to try and contact airline officials to report what was going on and to contact family members because they knew they would never see them again. Normally they don't allow you to use your phone while the plane is in the air, regardless of the altitude.Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?The regulations about cell phone use are governed by the FAA. No, you can't use it. I don't care what studies say what. If the FAA says no, they have a reason.

For every study that says it is safe, there will be another that says it isn't. A study from Carnegie Mellon within the last 5 years found there IS a level of interference.Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?
No. The flight attendant tells you not to. Its really not an issue if it physically works while on the plane.Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?The FAA currently prohibits the use of cell phones while in flight, although they are researching the effects and may eventually allow them. They are concerned that they will interfere with the radio communications of the jet with air traffic control. Although not advisable under any circumstances, your cell phone will work if the plane is flying low enough (under 5,000 feet.)Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?
yes you can use your phone even at higher altitudes. I was once a flight attendant and I left my phone on accidently in my pocket and it went off mid flight, of course I didnt answer it but I realized that my phone actually got service.

How can I get plane tickets as cheap as possible?

Hi,



I need to get to Jacksonville Florida, from Newcastle, England on the 23rd April, by spending as little as possible. I also don't have time to get a really long flight that goes via 12 other places though. Does anyone have any tips for finding some really good deals on plane tickets? They would be very much appreciated.



ThanksHow can I get plane tickets as cheap as possible?This close, you're not going to have as many good deals as you might have had a couple months ago. But there may still be a few out there.



My favorite website for good ticket prices is Kayak, http://www.kayak.com. They compare the prices from a TON of airlines and will even calculate connections across different carriers for you to find the best price. I had to get a ticket from Houston to South Korea about a week beforehand; they found me a pretty good price across two different airlines that got me there with only one stop. Not bad. Best of all, it's free, and you're not bound to purchase anything like you are with some other sites. Give it a shot.



Oh, and keep in mind that with some of the discount carriers, like Southwest and RyanAir, you'll need to check their own individual websites. They don't allow price checking sites like Kayak to index them.How can I get plane tickets as cheap as possible?
Try Priceline.com. They have a "name your own price" option, so you might want to try that. Cheapoair.com also has good fares.
