This is a somewhat working autocomplete-light example. I am going to try a simpler solution
I got a simple autocomplete functionality working with jQuery. My search form is working how I want it to.

A couple things to note:

1) My date fields were not validating as expected. I removed the input_format='%Y-%m-%d' and everything worked fine. It still validated correctly.

2) The Django-Money package started working not as expected. Specifically the currency widget was not being displayed properly on the Django Admin site. I installed Python-Money package instead which had Django widgets. I had to modify two sections of Python-Money however:
a) In /forms/widgets, I added the lines for reading the Currencies from the settings.py variable
b) In /forms/managers I changed from django.db.models.sql.constants import LOOKUP_SEP to from django.db.models.constants import LOOKUP_SEP

FUTURE WORK:
1) Put in autocomplete functionality on the admin site for choosing airports
2) Only show current flights. Can write a custom function called Flights.objects.current()
Things accomplished:

1) Autocomplete is now working on the admin site
2) Only current flights are shown
3) Airports get ranked by popularity as they are searched
4) django-registration was implemented to sign up and sign in users
5) nearby by flights can now be searched

Things needing work:

1) Keep current flights on search page if invalid search form is submitted from that page
2) Need to do custom clean/validation on the search form for the airport (to/from). Need to check if that airport exists
3) Need do make a profile edit form/page for user management
4) Need to do proper login redirect to homepage
5) Display log in/logout/profile edit links and log in status on all pages
6) Allow conversion of currencies for sort by price option, need to handle USD and EUR for now
7) Figure out emailing from alias for user management
8) Clean up static files
9) Put in email function that requests more information for a flight, should email them, us, and the charter company
10) Put in contact form
11) Jet image viewer and information popup
