    we are u.s citizens arriving from germany on continental terminal b, connecting to express jet airlines termina a, to hartford, ct. is one and a half hours enough? how early do we need to be at the connecting gate? my mom has some mobility problems..can we get help? thanks!

     

    You did not mention which Airport you arrive/transfer. Generally all international Arrivals, US citizens or not, need to go through passport check, pick up luggage, go through customs clearance and - if continuing flight - recheck-in their bags and proceed to the connecting terminal/ gate. Count on at least 30-45 minutes for that procedure. Getting to your connecting gate depends on whether you need to get to another terminal or concourse. You need to be at your gate, preferably 30 mins prior to departure.

    If you show up on time for checkin and do pack as required by TSA and do not opt to jump a earlier flight and have your Travel Agent book flights with enough connection time between flights you luggage will make it to its destination remember it takes at least 20 minutes to unload a plane upon arrival and if you are running to the next flight you will arrive at your final destination with out your luggage as luggage does not Run......make sure that you are not out for a smoke at the final destination as another pax bag take your bag in error...............it not always the airlines fault for delayed bag not lost bags

    Hi I will be flying out of IAD by Austrian Airlines . Do they(Austrian Air) have a check-in counter in Main Terminal in front of the hourly departure parking? Please advice as I am trying to help my family till they check-in their luggage.

     

    Austrian Airline has ticket counter number 3 on the Departures & Ticketing Level, which has a walkway to Daily Garage 2 and departures curb.

     

  • Picking Up Children @ Southwest Arrival

    We need to picik up children in Terminal B - where do we park, etc.?

     

    Sacramento Airport has 3 options for TB parking: 1. The free Cell Phone Lot (for up to 3 hours) located off Crossfield & Lindbergh Drive--stay with your car until your party has collected luggage and calls you to be picked up at the curb. 2. The parking garage across from Terminal A connects to A & B terminals; 3. Hourly parking is near Terminal B.

     

  • What gates and where?

    Two first time flyers transfer from AA 407 (arrives from ORD Thanksgiving Day) to AA 1173 (departs for DFW same day) Where are their gates? I understand AA used Concourse D is this correct?

     

    As American /American Connection, American Eagle depart/ arrive from Terminal 3, you arrive and depart from either of these Concourses: G, H, K or L: The upper levels of terminal leads to L gates at left, Y-shaped Concourse K, with gates K1-K20 and Concourse H with gates H3-H18 in the center, and Concourse G with gates G1A-G21 to the left - with gates G13-G17 on the Concourse's lower level.

     

  • from Abq to SEA
    Dec 16, 2011

    i have a flight from ABQ to SMF but have to change planess in SEA and only have a 15 min time to do so. will i have enough time??? It is my first time flying and i am doing it alone:\

     

    15 mins for any connecting flights is absurd! When you enter ABQ you need to go through security check, check in your bag if you have one (other than your small on-board bag which should fit in the overhead bin or under your feet at the airplane)- your checked bags needs to have the tags for all 3 airports to arrive at SMF - then proceed to your gate. At SEA, depending on which airline you arrive at and depart from, you may have to switch: All concourses are connected at post-security, enabling passengers to freely move around without having to leave the secured area. The satellites are linked to the main terminal by continuously running underground loop trains. If your flight will depart from one of the satellite terminals, add an extra 10-15 minutes to your boarding schedule.

     

    its my 1st time flying without someone helping me get to my gate HELP! I'm really scared cuz now since I'm 14 I'm 2 old for assistance like last year HELP ME!

     

    You can still ask people especially airline staff with ID badges for help! Don't be bashful, ask the more people the better. Most people want to help. I am a father of two teenagers and I want to help you but I won't be there. God bless you and I pray you have a safe trip and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    Can't see any reference. However, you can contact the Airport Services Counter in the Ticketing Lobby of the Airport, open daily from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m. - tel. 704-359-4013.

     

  • Small Airport to Big airport question
    Nov 14, 2011
    1
    I booked a flight for my girlfriend who lives in PA. Her flight leaves from a smaller airport (LNS) to Baltimore using Cape Air. Her layover is an hour and 18 minutes between flights The question is, will she handle the security and bag checks at the smaller airport, or are they just going to fly her there and drop her off? I just worry that she will have to go through everything with only an hour and 18 minutes. We're both new to flying, so we're extremely nervous and confused

     

    Not sure - is BWI her last stop or is she transferring to another flight from there? If it's her last stop, she'll arrive at Concourse D. If she has a bag to check in, she will do that in LNS and retrieve it in the baggage area of BWI - you can meet her there. If she needs to transfer to another flight, she may have to re-check-in her bag (depending on airline rules). You need to look at ticket which gate her flight would leave from (A, B, C, D or E gates, i.e. "A11", etc.). Transfer time is sufficient.

     

  • Cabo San Lucas to LAX via PHX-Sky Harbor

    Tuesday afternoon international arrival from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on US Airways - connecting through PHX to LAX. We have not flown through this airport before. We are not checking baggage - will 1.5 hours be enough time to clear passport control and customs and make the connecting flight to LAX?

     

    Your Arrival is in PHX's Terminal 4. After passport control and customs clearance proceed to your departing gate. Check your ticket for gate number: Terminal 4 has Security checkpoint A to gates A1-14 and A17-30; Security checkpoint B to gates B1-14 and B15-22 and to international gates B23-28; Security checkpoint D to gates D1--D8; and Security checkpoint C to gates C1-10 & C11-20. T4 offers moving walkways to all gateways.
