    My 12 year old is flying alone on Continental and I won't be paying the airline to assist her. Will I be able to pass through security, take her to the gate and pick her up from the gate?

     

    That depends on the Airline. You need to contact Continental for permission - also ask if you need to bring along documentation that you are the parent.

    Traveling with 2 children tomorrow morning 12/31. How long should we plan to arrive ahead of time to get through security and to our gate?

     

    Of course this depends on which Airport you use. For domestic departures it is generally recommended that you arrive 90 minutes prior to scheduled flight; for international departures 2 hrs. With 2 children in tow, it's best to add another half hour to it. (children no longer need to take their shoes off at security check). Good luck!

  • trf ATL to LAX to SYD

    Have a flight that arrives in LAX from ATL at 2130 then connecting at LAX to SYD departing 2245 - that is an 1hr 15 layover - am I likely to make this flight?

     

    That depends on the airline you take. You need to look at your ticket to see which gate you arrive/ depart from. T1 has gates 1-14; T2: 21-39; T3: 30-39; T4 42-49; T5 50-69; T6 60-69; T7 70-77; T8: 80-88. TB (aka TBIT or Bradley Terminal): gates 101-123. At ATL make sure your bags are properly tagged to LAX & SYD, so they will arrive in SYD. On arrival, if you need to get to another terminal, note that T5, 6 & 7 are connected by tunnel and T7 has walkway to T8 & T6. Alternatively, LAX's terminals are arranged in a U-shape, served by the LAX bus Route A on lower arrival level island (in front of each terminal), under sign 'LAX shuttle airline connection', which runs every 12-15 mins. Starting from TBIT, the next stops are at T4 through T8, it then goes on to the opposite side with T1, T2, T3 and back to TBIT. Count 2.5 mins for each stop.

     

    Thanks pilotjoe for details - am flying Delta into and out of LAX.

    My boyfriend and I live in Illinois were planning on moving to Arizona.we can't decide if we should drive or fly.we have a 1 1/2 year old pit bull,he's a lover.he weights about 65lbs.will they let him fly,considering he's a pit?and if so will he have to be out of my sight?? cause i DON'T want him out of my sight.please help us. thanks Courtney.

     

    I would suggest that you drive. There are too many unknowns with flying...and the drive won't be too bad ( I have a cousin who drove from Chicago to Vegas)...

    We are bringing our pet into the US from international flight on Scandanavian airlines. Where will we pick up our dog and do we take him through customs?

     

    Sorry.... No. You might try inside the washroom.

    Is this information accurate? The first part about the passport requirements hasn't been accurate in the past 4 years. The WHTI was implemented (for land/sea) in 2009...it makes me question the other information.
