  • Can i Fly withing the u.s usin school id

    ok so ... im from South America and i have no legal papers but im 17 and i was wondering if i can fly from omaha to Chicago only using my school i.d , please let me know.. Thanks!

     

    no you cant, you need a government id

     

    If you're from a foreign country and have no passport or other ID, it means you are probably subject to immediate deportation by the INS (if they were doing their jobs, that is.)

     

  • Connection time from HKG to HNL via Guam

    Continental has a flights from Hong Kong to Honolulu via Guam but there is only a 45 minute layover. I am a US citizen who will be checking bags.Continental offers this as a fare so they must think it is realistic but is a 45 minute layover truly realistic?

     

    Most likely you will go through International Arrivals procedure at Honolulu airport. To make sure call the Guam Airport Information Center at 642-INFO.

    can i use as id my foreign passport and a non government id card to fly from miami to nyc. im not a us citizen yet

     

    My wife had a Lithuanian Passport and we were traveling from Miami to Vegas. TSA would not let her on the flight because she did not have any ID from Florida. Florida would not give her and ID while she was a Greed Card applicant

     

    I have the same issue going on, I need to get from the East coast to the West coast so that I can complete my residency procedures but at the moment all I have is my Mexican passport and consular ID, can I travel by plane with these.

    I will be flying soon and have my WA Driver License... is it enough or do I need any other kind of ID?

     

    Thats all you'll need

     

    Bring another picture ID along, and/or a utility bill in your name.

     

    It's best to have 2 picture ID's

    I have a friend that is flying here to OKC today. She told me she is held up by Immigration and that they are requiring her to have $2000.00 with her to enter the US. Is this information correct? Please let me know, so that I will know what to do.

     

    You are being scammed my friend. She isn't here to meet or marry you but going to make you Western Union her cash. Don't be an idiot and tell the full story next time.

    For domestic flights it should do.

    How many bottles of wine can a US citizen bring back from Buenos Aires, Argentina for personal use/gifts?

     

    I have the same question: how many bottles are we allowed at duty free ? will we need to pay custom fees at Newark?

    Arrive JFK from Athens on Delta flight at 3:10 pm, then transferring luggage/going through customs before boarding Jet Blue flight to OAK at 5:20 pm. What's the likelihood we'll make it on time?

     

    You should arrive at JFK at Terminal 4. Make sure your bags were properly tagged with JFK and OAK. After going through customs, you need to re-check-in your bags, then proceed by Airtrain which runs at that time every 7 minutes to Terminal 5. T5 has on its departures level the surrounding gates.

     

  • Connection Times

    Is my connection of 80 minutes really enough time to make it from Terminal 5 to Terminal 3? I'm ever so worried and this is my honeymoon so don't want to have to sit around Chicago waiting for another flight. I guess if AA offer this connection time then it's doable?

     

    From O'Hare's International Terminal to any of the Domestic Terminals: After exiting the Federal Inspection and luggage re-check areas, proceed up one level to the Airport Transit System where you can easily connect to terminals 3 for domestic flights. The free ATS shuttle train running every few minutes can take you there. Terminal 3's Upper Level leads to Concourse L to the left with 11 gates, the Y-shaped gateway to Concourses 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-G117 on the Concourse's lower level . Look at your ticket to see which gate you need to go to. Very tight schedule.

     

  • Puse stolen

    My purse was stolen so I've lost both my driver's license and ss card. I am flying from Houston to Vegas for wedding Oct 13th. It takes 45-60 days to recieve a new license in Texas. Can I use my birthcertificate and a non gov id to board?

     

    For a domestic flights, it will do. Hope you notified SS Administration, etc. of your loss.

     

    If you have no ID, let the ticket agent know. You'll get "enhanced" security and then will board the plane. (Or maybe the quotes should go around "security"?) Anyway, how would TSA know if your birth certificate were real? Match your footprints?

    That should do it!
