Cheap flights from Dallas to Fort McMurray, Canada

Cheap flights from Dallas to Fort McMurray, Canada?
I'd like to go visit my friend in Canada, and I was wondering how much (Or around how much) a ticket would be. I'm 15, so I'm a minor, and I realize that I'd need a passport. (But I heard that a birth certificate would be sufficiant) How much would a ticket be, and are there any specials going on at the moment? Thanks for your help. =)

Your basically looking at a 3+ stopover situation. The only on I could think of would be a DFW - YYZ (Toronto) - YMM (Fort McMurray) on Air Canada, but chances are that the flight between YYZ - YMM would be seasonal & only available during summer. Another option would be flying a low cost airline (ex. Southwest) & flying to a major west hub, then flying WestJet up to Calgary or Edmonton to connect, or even drive up to Fort McMurray. WestJet's policy qualifies 12 years + allowed to travel on their own without charge so no increase on fare. Which, out of a random search, would come to $479 (USD) for LAX to YMM. Then a flight from DAL (Dallas - Love Field) to LAX would be $179 (USD) The price of air travel in Canada is much high than in the United States so better choice to fly up to YEG (Edmonton) & get ride to Fort McMurray if possible. In all the guestimated amout is $658 (USD) ONE WAY, this was preceived as if you were travelling on the 10th of March & your YYC - YMM flight would have been not until the next day.

I'm a big fan of Yahoo's FareChase http://farechase.yahoo.com . It searches a ton of travel websites and airline sites to find you a good deal. It also has features that allow you to narrow by departure time, airline, etc. It also includes deals on nearby days -- if they are cheaper! Good luck!

Open returns are very expensive. I think your idea of one-ways will be much cheaper. The key to cheap fares is flexibility. If you could go to MSP instead, I see $129 on Sun Country Airlines (the 6th); $140 on Frontier Airlines on the 5th. Best and cheapest to book direct from the airline.

A flight leaves from Oakland to Dallas one morning on a 1200-mile flight

A flight leaves from Oakland to Dallas one morning on a 1200-mile flight?
On the way there, a tailwind helps them make their journey in only 2 hours. The return trip is made in stormy weather against a headwind three times as strong. If the return trip takes three hours, what is the speed of the wind during the flight from Dallas to Oakland

150 mph =] If x (the speed of the plane) plus y (the tailwind) times 2 (the time) is equal to 1200 (distance), then x + y = 600. Similarly, if 3 (x - 3y) = 1200, x - y = 400. Using simultaneous equations, we get that x = 550 and y = 50. Since the returning tailwind was 3x as strong, y = 3 (50) = 150 mph.

John, who answered , I wish I had half your brain. One variable is ATC and the time it takes can also be factored by the vectoring from way point to way point as well as air speed restrictions. That will add a few more X Y and Z to the equations!

what happens if I skip the final leg of a one-way flight and stay in the city where the first leg stops

what happens if I skip the final leg of a one-way flight and stay in the city where the first leg stops?
I want to fly from LAX to Dallas, tickets are $40 cheaper if I ticket to Houston. The flight stops in Dallas. What happens if I don't take the second leg and get off in Dallas? I will not check any luggage.

If you miss the second flight, you are SOL. Why would you do that, Houston is hours from the Ugly Dallas
2 :
You'll simply be shown as a no-show for the 2nd sector. If it's only a one way ticket you shouldn't have any problems, although if you go for a return, your problems start the minute you miss the flight to Dallas, as the rest of the trip will be cancelled.
3 :
If you, as explained here you buy a OW (one-way) the most that can happen is that the airline charges you the difference to your credit card. BUT, if you buy an R/T (return ticket), the moment you miss one leg the whole itinerary is cancelled! And considered forfeited.
4 :
Assuming the plane stops at the gate to allow passengers off and on (not just for fuel), and you have all your carry-on items, nothing will happen. Just make sure that Dallas is the stop on the one-way flight and you'll be fine.
