yea so I have a final in the morning, and PT before that.. and i've spent the last hour and a half trying both expedia and orbitz to create a series of flights that will work around my schedule.
im heading to Virginia Beach, VA from March 15th (or 16th) to March 22nd.
my plan has 2 parts:
- trip one:
- head out from Port Columbus(CMH), here in Columbus, OH
- arrive in Norfolk, VA (ORF)
- trip two:
- head out from ORF
- arrive in Detroit (DTW)
the time issues:
if on thursday, 'trip one' needs to be in the afternoon (after at least 1pm) (if on friday, earlier in the morning if possible, so my sister can pick me up)
'trip two' needs to arrive in Detroit after as close to 7pm as possible, to be able to get a ride from my parents
getting a flight to Detroit at the right time isn't the difficult part, its getting the flight to Norfolk at the right time that is proving to be impossible. i can only find early morning thursday flights, or evening flights on friday.... i would do early morning thursday, however I got a final that ends at 1130am.
if anyone can help and direct me to a good flight, that would be great.
btw, my original plan was to take a Greyhound from Columbus to Virginia Beach, then discovered that the cost would be around $55 for a single trip. cheap, yes... but combine that with a flight to Detroit from Norfolk, that runs around $120... combined charge being around $180... then well... a two-flight package that runs around $200-230 as most were is not an unreasonable upgrade, and is worth the convenience of removing an 18-hour bus ride from the trip.
