    40 min connecting time in Nov. Should I be concerned?

     

    If your flight is on-time you'll be fine. Both flights will be on the same concourse (even though it's a big concourse). Connecting on Delta in DTW is very simple.

     

  • 56 minutes to transfer btw C and E

    I'm quite worried as I have 56 minutes to transfer between Houston Terminal C (United Airlines) and Terminal E (flying Lufthansa). Will this be sufficient time (I'm a fit walker) ? Thank you.

     

    Yep, you'll have to hope your first flight is on-time, but it's doable.

     

  • Transfer in the same teminal

    My passport is China and I will travel from Tokyo to Montreal, and transfer in the T8 of JFK by AA. (arrive at T8, at leave from T8) I wonder that whether I need a transmit visa when I transfer in the same terminal?

     

    You do indeed need a C-1 transit visa.

  • Delta terminal 3 to Etihad terminal 4
    Apr 17, 2013

    I booked a ticket through Delta and will arrive in JFK terminal 3. I then booked a separate ticket through Etihad which is in terminal 4. My question is how would I do this? Would I go collect my baggage from terminal 3 then use the airtran to terminal 4 and then check my baggage in terminal 4 at the Etihad counter and finally go through security again? thanks... by the way my flight arrives at 3 PM at JFK and my Etihad flight doesn't leave until 10:30 PM, so I will have plenty of time shouldn't I?

     

    Yes, that is how you would do it and yes, you will have plenty of time. In fact the Etihad counter may not be open when you arrive.

     

  • from T8 to T1

    Hi all, I will be traveling with a 3 y o and an 11 y o. I will land on T8 and have to get my luggage and make to T1 and have 4 and a half hours of layover time. I was just wondering if there is any help I can pay for to get all my luggage and help me with it all the way to T1. What are my options?

     

    I take it you already checked with your first airline and it does NOT transfer bags to your connecting airline. In which case you should, on arrival, proceed to the baggage claim area, pick up a cart, load your bags, then take the elevator to the the 'Airline Terminals Train' - unload your cart before boarding the train to T1, your next stop. At T1, grab a cart and proceed to the check-in area. Alternatively, get a taxi.

     

  • MEX via UA 头SFO connecting China Easter

    I will fly from MEX to SFO via UA, and then connect to SHanghai via China Eastern. I know that I need to claim my baggage and go to a Connecting Baggage Desk. Just want to know if I can drop my baggage in this desk for connecting China Eastern Airline, or I need to go to another China Eastern airline check in counter, which I don't know where.

     

    China Eastern hasn't started service to SFO yet, so it's not entirely clear what they'll have there, but if the re-check desk at SFO won't take your bags, then you will just have to take them up to the departures level of the same terminal you're already in (the International Terminal) and find the China Eastern counter.

    I have friends arriving on a CX flt from HKG with eta: 0705hr and their AZ flight etd going to ATH at 1020hr, is it enough for a connecting time?

     

    Yes, that should be enough time.

     

  • Domestic South To International Terminal

    we will have 1 hr and 5 min to go from Domestic south terminal Delta Airline to International Terminal. Is it enough time? Which is the shortest way? We will arrive in ATL at 9:00am. This is our first time using ATL airport. Thanks!!

     

    Your domestic flight will arrive at one of the lettered concourses, not the south terminal. You just have to take the plane train from the concourse you come in to to concourse E where your international flight will depart from.

     

    I saw on ATL website. They have terminal F for international. Since we have really short connection time for international flight, we want to plan ahead. Please advice.

     

    Delta uses both E and F for international flights.

     

    I am coming in to ATL from Nassau on 5/27 at 7:30 pm and connecting to a flight to CLT at 8:50 - is this a problem with my connection time?

     

  • Customs at CLT then connecting flight

    Hi. I have a flight coming from Italy to CLT and then connects to RDU. I am considering getting out of the airport at CLT as my house is equidistant between the two airports. Is it correct that I will have to collect my bags at Customs in CLT? Perhaps at that time I can decide to head home from there or carry on to RDU. ?

     

    Yes, you will go through immigration in CLT and collect your bags.

    flight at 720 what time to ck in?

     

    What airport and airline? Do you have bags? Domestic or International? You can check in on line 24 hours before departure.

     

  • Connecting A (USAIR) to E (Continental)

    We are flying into IAH on USAIR (terminal A) and need to connect to terminal E (United) in 42 minutes. At terminal E we are taking a flight to honolulu, hawaii (e.g. domestic). Is this a realistic connection time using the termnial link train? We are flying first class on both flights and presumably will get out of the USAIR plane fast..

     

    Yeah, if your first flight is on-time it will be doable.

     

  • C19-E21

    I have only 37 minutes to get from C19-E21. Is it best to run south from C19 to C43 and then east past C45 to TE21 or take the Terminal Link to D/E station. If it is the latter how do you skirt around International Arrivals in a hurry and avoid security? Thanks

     

    Running is usually your best option whenever possible.

    I am arriving from Florence en route to Los Angeles through AMS. The flight I'd like to take has only 50 minute connection time between landing and take-off on the flight to LA. Is that enough to pass through passport control? I will not have checked any luggage -- it is all carry-on.

     

    Since both Italy and the Netherlands are within Schengen you will not have to do any immigration in Amsterdam. You will just have to go through security at the gate.

     

  • Security today

    How long will it take to go thru security at Terminal 5 today for a flight to London?

     

    Probably the same as any other tuesday in spring. Nobody can predict for sure. I flew yesterday and security wasn't any different from normal.
