I've heard the airlines are "criacking down" on people who do this but have never heard of anyone being penalized. Is it “safe” to buy a roundtrip ticket and only use it one way?

Last month, there were several nonstop options on AA. Today there are none. I'm guessing those nonstop routes have been discontinued, but can't find any information. Any suggestions on how to check that kind of news from airlines? (Or, more specifically, to find out about my specific need?) Did find, via Google but not with an AA site search, a relatively recent "news" story on AA about added nonstops, but nothing about what might have been taken away.

I had completed a reservation when I came to enter my address and found Australia is not listed as one of the countries. Most disappointing. It looks like you can only use this site if you live overseas in America or Europe. A great site, but no use to me in Australia.

Then yesterday the flight price more than doubled and there aren't any coach seats available. Since this flight is more than 10 months away and only recently became available to book - How can all the coach seats suddenly be booked? Do travel agents buy all the seats speculating that they will sell them in a package deal? Is there anyway to find out who bought them all?

I am planning a trip from Mumbai, India, to Varna, Bulgaria. Could you advise me on how to fly to the destination and include a different stopover of one day while travelling to and fro? Please advise me on the cheapest way to do so since I am a budget traveller. Also the fact that I might not be going to Europe again. Thanks. Hi Rick,

Keep up the great work. I am planning a trip with my wife in June and currently looking for the best airfare deal. We will be flying from one of the airports in the New York City area, and flying to Austin TX. We want to spend a week or more, but definitely need to be in town for an event on Saturday June 7. The trip would preferably extend through the following weekend, but we can be flexible. According to FareCompare, the prices haven't been changing much, and are currently only two-star rated, with the lowest available shown as $325 round trip. Southwest is advertising a sale until Thursday, and it looks like I could get two round-trip tickets from Long Island to Austin for just over $500 total. Should I snatch this up, or would you advise waiting another month or so? Thanks for your time and help, Zach Rick,
