USAirways & PHLFeb 24, 201201Worst baggage times waiting after a flight. If you fly into PHL carry-on only or you will be waiting 45 min to retrieve luggage - esp at USAirways during peak times. (Personal experience - arrived 10pm - waited 40 min - only flight to arrive in all B & C terminal.)LAVposted on Fri, Feb 24[ Reply ]1 person likes this post [ Like ]

distance between gatesFeb 25, 201210It will be a senior traveling. I need to know if the connection distance between flights is short enough to support a 1 hour layover. The flight originates in West Palm Beach, FL and connects in Charlotte to a flight to Charlottesville, VA.shermieposted on Fri, Feb 24Charlotte Douglas CLT Airport has one terminal with Concourses A through E - there is no need for a shuttle as all concourses surround the main terminal. Concourse A has gates A1-12; Concourse B gates B1-16; Concourse C gates C2-19; Conc. D gates D1-13 & Conc. E gates E1-32; Your ticket will indicate which gate you arrive/depart from. One hour is definitely adequate for your transfer.safeb12posted on Sat, Feb 25

Going to meet or pick up someone vFeb 25, 201210I have a family member arriving at 9:55am on 02/24/2012 directly from Atlanta, GA enroute from Monrovia, Liberia. I am coming from Philadelphia, PA. Where do I park and where do I go meet her.Georgeposted on Fri, Feb 24I understand that you travel from Philadelphia to pick up a passenger at La Guardia Airport. Since I don't know which Airline your party takes to LGA I cannot tell you which terminal she arrives at. I suggest you open www.ifly.com/lga and click on "Terminal Map" - to familiarize yourself with the layout and terminal details (listed below the map). Note that LGA has no cell phone lot. These are the parking options you have: 1. Terminal A (Marine Terminal) parking: Metered lot (2-hr limit), P6 daily lot and further south P7 daily lot. 2. Terminal B (Central Terminal) parking: (a) Garage parking is across from the terminal, with premium reserved parking on level 1, aisles D & E and level 4 at front row ; and (b) Daily lots P1 & P2. 3. Between Terminals B & C is long-term lot P3, reached by shuttle. 4. Terminal C (U.S. Airways Terminal) parking: Premium reserved parking at Aisle 403 and daily parking P4.safeb12posted on Sat, Feb 25

TERMINALFeb 24, 201210I am arriving in term B (gate B5), and need to go to term A (gate 25)...what is the LEAST STRESSFUL way to get there? I am flying solo for my first time, and super overwhelmed with DFW's size! I have a 2 hour layover, so...? Thanks!SSSposted on Thu, Feb 23First of all let me assure you that you have plenty of time. That said, I will explain the terminal layout of Dallas-Fort Worth Airport and how to get from gates B5 to A25: 1. the north & south lanes of the International Parkway are in the center, Terminals A, C & E are to the right of the north lane, and Terminals B & D to the right of the south lane. 2. The elevated 'Skylink' train connects all terminals in their gateway center at escalator/elevator stations: Starting out at Terminal D (TD), it runs to TA between gates A1-16 & A29-34; at TB between B9-12 & B28-31, then on to TC, TE & back to TD. The Skylink runs every 2 mins, taking about five minutes to make its round. When you arrive at the B gate, look up at the screen to find your departure flight & gate - the A gates don't seem to have an A25 gate, but I could be wrong - also look at your ticket. You will be just fine!frfeb12posted on Fri, Feb 24

item for carry onFeb 23, 201200I have purchased 2 boxes of the Tylenol pads that you can attach to your skin for pain relief. There is no gel in them, as they are "air activated" They are for pain in my sciatic nerve in my hip & leg. Are these okay to carry on & if so, should the be taken out of the boxes and placed in the plastic ziploc bags? I will be flying to Spain.tschnieberposted on Thu, Feb 23

Have 2-3 hours at JFK need place cafeFeb 23, 201210HI , We arrive on an international delta flight into JFK and transfer to a domestic delta flight 4 hours later. We would like to exit airport to meet a friend. Is there a place near the airport to sit and have a meal in or near the airport.KSposted on Thu, Feb 231. As an international arrival you arrive at Terminal 4 where you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and - if transferring to another flight - re-check-in bag - count on 35-50 mins for this procedure. The Airtrain for inter-terminal connections has its station in T4 inside the arrivals level, center, and at your connecting Terminal 3 outside the domestic arrivals. 2. The Airtrain also connects to further transportation outside of the Airport; however, knowing the dimensions of JFK I strongly advise you to stay on-airport ground. There is the on-Airport Ramada Plaza Hotel Tel: 718-995-9000) which may have a restaurant - or you may want to choose from one of the following restaurants within Terminal 4: at Mezzanine is KFC, Wok&Roll; in the main lobby are: 5iveSteak, Piquillo, Sam Adams, Au Bon Pain, Sbarro Cafe, & McDonalds.thfeb12posted on Thu, Feb 23

delta connection timesFeb 23, 201210I have a 55minute layover time at jfk. Arrriving domestic from orlando on delta then flight to london again with delta. Travelling with young family, I've been informed we should make it by agent but any comments as I feel a little concernedwhich1066posted on Thu, Feb 23You will arrive at JFK from Orlando at Terminal 3 and will depart from Terminal 4, which is the international terminal. On arrival at T3, proceed to the arrivals level; from there, you can either walk over to Terminal 4, or take the Airtrain at T3 outside domestic arrivals, arriving at T4 inside the arrivals level, at center. Either way, you need to go through security check again. Look at your ticket (and the overhead screens) for your departing flight and gate number: T4 has gates A2-7 and B20-30. Just follow signs. IMPORTANT: When you check in your bags at Orlando, make sure they are properly tagged for all three airport Codes, so that your bags will arrive safely in London. Unless your domestic flight is very late, you make it just fine timewise.thfeb12posted on Thu, Feb 23

Terminal 4 to Terminal 3 in 1hr 15m?Feb 23, 201210I'm flying into LAX from AUS via American Airlines. I have a 1hr 15m layover in LAX before I fly to SEA via Alaskan Airlines. American is in Term 4 and Alaskan is in Term 3, so I'll need to move between them. I have two questions: 1. Is this possible within 1hr and 15mins? 2. How long will security at Term 3 take between 9:00 and 9:30am? Thanks!HFposted on Thu, Feb 231. While a recent post complained that he waited over an hour at security check, I am confident that by 9am (past rush hour) your wait time will be no more than 30-45 mins. As the bus runs counter-clockwise, you are better off walking from T4, passing TBIT (Bradley terminal) to T3 - that should take no more than 7 mins. (On arrival, check the overhead screen for your Alaska flight - note time & gate). T3 has gates 1-18.thfeb12posted on Thu, Feb 23

From Alaska (domestic) to Delta (inter)Feb 23, 201210My trip is going to Thailand; I travel from Oregon (PDX) to connect flight of Delta to Japan (NRT). I have layover time in seattle (SEA) only 50 min. Please let me know clearly how I go from Alaska airline to connect flight of Delta (inter). For example, what terminal?, concourse?, bus or train number?, south loop or north loop? etc. In addition, do I need to be security checked again? thanks,Catposted on Wed, Feb 221. When checking in at PDX make sure that your bags will have on their tags all three Airport codes. Also ask if Alaska transfers bags to Delta flight (not all airlines do, in which case you would have to claim your bags at SEA and recheck them in with Delta). 2. You arrive via Alaska at SEA either at Satellite North (gates N1-16 or Concourse D (gates D1-12) - you need to look at your ticket. Delta will depart from Satellite South, which has gates S1-13. All concourses are connected at post-security, enabling passengers to freely move around without having to leave the secured area. Follow signs. To connect between the N gates and the S gates, take the train from South or North Satellite to the Main Terminal, then cross over and take the train on the opposite side, which is the shuttle that runs at post-security between the North & South stations.thfeb12posted on Thu, Feb 23

T4 to T3 in 1hr 15m?Feb 23, 201210I'm flying into LAX via American (T4) and flying out via Alaskan (T3). I've got a 1hr 15m layover and I won't be checking any baggage. Since it looks like I need to pass through security again, how much time should I expect to spend moving from T4 to T3? For what it's worth, I'm seated near the front of the plane on my arrival flight.HFposted on Wed, Feb 22It is best to walk between T4, (pass the Bradley Terminal) to T3 - it should take you no more than 7 mins. (The bus goes counter-clockwise). Yes, you need to go through security again. If at morning rush hr prior to 9am, lines can, at times, take up to an hour, in general it's much faster.thfeb12posted on Thu, Feb 23
