  • can I take a silver bowl in my carry on?
    Mar 3, 2012

    I have a 8 x 10 inch covered silver dish that is an old family heirloom. Can I take it as carry on?

     

    When approaching the security checkpoint, take it out (unwrapped) and show it to the security guard - otherwise the metal going through the Xray will alert security.

     

  • Need a Meetiing Place @ Madrid Airport
    Mar 3, 2012

    I am flying into Madrid to Terminal 1 and need to meet up with someone who is flying into Terminal 4S. Where is the best place to meet? Neither of us have ever been to Madrid Airport so don't know any landmarks. Appreciate recommendations.

     

    1. While terminals 1, 2 & 3 are next to each other, Terminal 4, as well as satellite terminal 4S are separate. (The large new Terminal 4, consists a main terminal T4 and a satellite T4S, which are over 2 km apart & served by automated trains.) I suggest that you meet up at the main terminal 4, on the arrivals level, in front of the information counter. Your friend can take the automated driverless train between T4 and T4S which runs every two minutes. You can take the free shuttle bus from T1 to T4 running 6:30am-11:30pm every 5 mins; 11:30pm-1:50am every 20 mins; 1:50am-6:30am every 40 mins).

    My United flight from Columbus arrives in Houston at 8:10 am on March 4. I fly Continental to Tegucigalpa at 9:20 am. Is this enough time to get my connecting flight? Will my luggage go straight through to Tegucigalpa?

     

    1. You arrive at IAH via United in Terminal C; however, Continental is using domestic terminals A,B,C and international terminal E (TE) - which is most likely your departure terminal. (The Airport does not list the gate number). Look at your ticket to see which gate you depart from - gate numbers precede the Terminal (i.e., C14, E12). Gate areas of TC connect to TE by walkway (but you need to go through security check at TE. All terminals are connected by the above-ground TerminaLink inside security, making its continuous round and taking only minutes. Either way, you have enough time for transfer.

  • Where's the best place to meet my party?

    My daughter and I are flying from the US to Rome, but we arrive on different days. She arrives the day before me but is going to take the train back to the airport to pick me up. Where is the best place for us to meet at the airport that will be accessible to both of us? It must be accessible to both of us because she will not be a passenger on the day that I arrive.

     

    FCO Leonardo da Vinci Airport has two terminals service non-schengen countries (including foreign) - Terminals 2 & 3. I suggest you meet in the large Terminal 3 at the Arrivals level, near the Information counter. (Terminal 3 has 5 exit doors. (Note there is also a Rome Ciampino Airport CIA).

    how can I use public transportation to get from YYZ to Alliston ?

     

    1. Alliston is part of the town of Tecumseth in Simco County,Ontario, Canada - located along Highway 89. 2. This is what's available in terms of public transportation at Toronto Pierson Airport: Public transportation includes bus & subway service to downtown Toronto, GO Transit bus to downtown & Toronto suburbs; Mississauga Transit bus service to Mississauga; Brampton Transit bus service within Brampton & Pacific Western Airport Express to downtown Toronto. Google one of these options to find a connection to Alliston.

    I will be traveling to Hawaii with a 3 year old and my mother and have a 3 hour layover at ORD. Flying American Airlines, so I believe that is Terminal 3. Any suggestions for things to do in the Terminal so we don't have to go through security with the little one again?

    i had a recent bad experience making a connecting flight. Is 40 minutes enough time at CMH to make a connecting flight to Orlando?

     

    40 minutes is tight if your incoming plane is late.

    I arrive in SF at 8 am and don't catch my international flight until 5 pm. Want to meet family (not flying) for lunch at the airport. Is there somewhere we can meet?

     

    1. I suggest you open www.ifly.com/sfo - scroll first down to the last paragraph giving you transportation options in case you decide to meet outside the Airport (you have plenty of time). 2. For amenities & services inside the terminals, click on "Terminal Map", which has below the map detailed terminal description, and if you click on your terminal above the map you will find gate arrangement & restaurants & shops listing.

    please tell me if I will came with an international flight from LONDON with AA and continue with an domestic flight to cleveland same AA company I must charge for first luggage at chicago aiport?

     

    As an international arrival at Chicago O'Hare Airport you need to go through passport control, pick up bags, go through customs clearance and then re-check-in your bags before continuing to your connecting gate. In general, bags for each flight segment are charged separately, inquire at AA.
