Flying to the UKMay 18, 201210I am flying to the UK this summer. I will have a overnight layover of about 10hrs in DFW. Dose anyone know how early I can check my bags in? I already know I have to be there at lest 60mins befor not a problem since I will just be staying at the airport. ThanksSamh22004posted on Thu, May 17At the Airport make sure your bags' tags indicate all three airport codes. On arrival at DFW you need to go through passport check, pick up your bags, go through customs clearance and then re-check-in your bag (if airline transfers) or go to your connecting airline check-in counter and check it in either on arrival or in the morning. You can contact the airport as to when check-in counters open at http://www.dfwairport.com/contact/index.phpfrapr12posted on Fri, May 18

One Huge Gift Box + Personal LuggageMay 3, 201210Hi there. I'm going to fly with Emirates from IAH-KLIA. I plan to check in one huge gift box (dimension 30"x22"15"= 67") which exceeds the required baggage dimension (one piece is 62") but my other luggage bag stays within 62 inches. Will I still be eligible to check my gift box as a free check-in baggage? I really want to avoid paying for extra baggage fees though as I'm here with a student visa. Please help :). Have a great day to all!Amethyst99posted on Wed, May 2

How many bags allowedApr 28, 201210We are traveling to India through Air India CVG>Chicago>Delhi. Air India ticket says two bags allowed. But traveling from Cincinnati to Chicago is through American Airlines. So does American Airlines charge more for my baggage?Sureshposted on Fri, Apr 27You need to contact American Airlines (member of "Oneworld" alliance) tel. 888-247-2262 to find out if they will transfer your bags to Air India (not member of same alliance). For AA baggage information open http://www.aa.com/i18n/travelInformation/baggage/baggageAllowance.jsp. Estimated AA charge for bags up to 50 lb: $25 for bag 1; $35 bag 2; $100 each for bags 3-5. $150 each. As to Air India (member of Star Alliance): "Economy & Economy Plus: First 2 bags free up to 273cm/107in total". You can bring along Xra bags, but will have to pay extra at going rate.saapr12posted on Sat, Apr 28

When connecting internationallyApr 13, 201210I will be traveling from Nashville, TN (BNA) to Turku, Finland (TKU) and I will have one connecting flight in the US (either Chicago or DC) and one in another country (Sweden or Denmark). My questions is, do I have to reclaim and recheck my luggage every time I land and get on a different plane? I will be using Expedia or a similar website to buy the ticket. Is a 2.5 hour layover enough time?mbandersen12posted on Thu, Apr 121. With four stopovers after BNA, and different airlines (make sure they are willing to transfer bags to connecting airlines' departure gate - you may be charged baggage fees separate for each leg of your journey - you may be better off shipping them from BNA via freight to Turku. Your layover time of 2.5 hrs at either Chicago or DC will be plenty.frapr12posted on Fri, Apr 13

Lost Roll-onApr 12, 201210We cleared customs at O'Hare on Saturday 7 April and gave our four checked bags to the Delta rep just outside the customs area. We had a four hour wait for DL812, but even so our bags were delayed and only three were delivered. According to Delta the fourth bag was not loaded on to the flight to Atlanta. This bag contains papers critical to 10 years of research, some of which I cannot replace, ever. It is now day 6 and Delta say O'Hare cannot find it. Has anyone any ideas or suggested contacts? I do not understand how a checked medium sized olive green roll-on, clearly tagged and name-tagged can be lost when it was not in a public area. HELP PLEASE!Joe Rposted on Thu, Apr 12While baggage is clearly the responsibility of Airlines, there may be a chance the bag is among the unclaimed items of the Airport. It may be worth your while to contact: (a) e-mail ORD at aviation@flychicago.com - or (b) call the Chicago Police (responsible for lost items in public areas of terminal) at 773-686-2385; or (c) find some relevant contact number when opening Delta's site. Of course, there is a chance that someone walked away with your bag.thapr12posted on Thu, Apr 12

Waiting for fellow travelerApr 6, 201210I arrive at EWR at 9:45am on a UNited flight from IAD, my elderly mom arrives from BOS at 11:20 am on Jet Blue, is there a restaurant, coffee shop etc to wait for her near baggage claim, or should I wait near her gate and leave my baggage to be collected after she arrives? Will baggage be safe befor I can retrieve it?Dutifull-Dposted on Fri, Apr 6You arrive at Terminal C while your mother arrives at Terminal A. Presuming you both use EWR as final destination, you need to pick up your bag from the baggage carousel in the arrivals area. Before you do that check with the baggage handling office (or at the information counter) if & where you can leave your bags. The Airtrain serves all terminals post-security; a shuttle bus from TC to TA stops at gateway C1 (near C71) and from TA to TC at gateway A2 (near gate A28). Gate areas at your Terminal C have a number of food & drink establishments.frapr12posted on Fri, Apr 6
