  • Best-priced Bailey's was an important indicator
    Mar 15, 2013
    0
    I often use the duty-free price of a 1 litre bottle of Bailey's as a measure of prices across the whole shop. In Amman it was $18au, by Doha it was up to $23au, and by the time we hit Perth, $30au. Thatmeans Amman was nearly half the price of some other places. Of course when outlets have a 2-for-1 special, the relative bslance changes, so you can still be lucky at relatively expensive places.

     

  • booking question - time btwn flights
    Mar 15, 2013

    I am connecting to an international flight out of IAH that departs at 7:50PM. I have a few choices to select from for the first flight into IAH, arrival times as follows 1:00PM, 2:00PM or 5:00PM. I would like to avoid a long layover, but want to have enough time, which arrival time would you suggest booking in order to allow enough time to claim luggage and go to customs to board my flight at 7:50PM

     

    Unless your first flight is also international, you will not have to claim luggage or go through customs in IAH. Even if your first flight IS international, the 5 PM arrival should be fine.

    I will arrive at IAH from Istanbul on TURKISH AIR at 6PM, my connecting flight to San Diego on UAL is at 9PM. Will this allow enough time to collect baggage and clear customs, how long does this process usually take?

     

    Yes, that is enough time. It should take anywhere between an hour and 1.5 hours to go through immigration, recheck baggage, and go back through security.

  • Arriving T5 leaving T2
    Mar 15, 2013

    Is 2 hours enough time to clear customs and get from T5 to T2? Arrive Delta and leave Air China.

     

    You only clear customs if you are an international arrival. If Delta will transfer your bags to Air China, all you need to do is exit T5 and take the LAX bus Route A on lower arrival level island in front of each terminal, under sign 'LAX shuttle airline connection', which runs every 12-15 mins. After T5, it stops at T6, T7, T8, around the bend to T1 & T2 - five stops or 12 mins. At T2 you need to go through security check before proceeding to your gate. If Delta does not transfer bags to Air China, you need to take your bags along and check them in at T2 with Air China. Your two hours should suffice in any case.

     

  • Hi, I have to get from gate B4 to F12?
    Mar 15, 2013

    How long will this take me?

     

    You arrive at Concourse B with gates B19-B36 at left, B18-B1 at right and the escalator/elevator to the Plane Train to Concourses in center; you get off the train at Concourse F (last stop), take elevator/escalator up to gates F12-14. Should not take more than 25 mins.

     

  • International connection 50 minutes

    My route is Omaha-Detroit-Frankfurt (Germany) with Delta. I have international connection 50 minutes in Detroit in the same terminal EM. Is it enough time?

     

    There is no Terminal EM. DTW only has the McNamara & the North Terminal. Delta uses the McNamara Terminal, which has Concourses A, B & C with corresponding gates (i.e., gates A38-78; gates B1-21; gates C1-43). All concourses are accessible from level 2 of the main terminal. Your transfer time is sufficient. For detailed information, I suggest you open www.ifly.com/dtw, then click on 'Terminal Map' under QUICK LINKS and scroll down to the text.

     

    It's doable if your first flight is on-time. The Delta terminal in DTW has a fairly simple layout. If you miss your connection you'll probably get sent to Frankfurt on a later flight via Paris or Amsterdam.

     

    Thank you!

     

    EM stands for Ed McNamara

     

  • Transfer time from Terminal 2E to 2G

    How do I get from terminal 2E to terminal 2G. How much transfer time do I need?

     

    On arrival at T2E, follow signs for 'Exit - Baggage Reclaim; then go to T2F, exit 7 by the pedestrian footbridge; then take the free Aeroports de Paris shuttle N2 to T2G, which runs every 6 mins, 5:30am-11pm. Gate to gate estimate - half hour.

     

  • terminal 8 - connetcting flight

    International flight with two infants. We have 40minutes between the flights and arriving to and from termial 8. on the map of the terminal it appears as though there're two concourses....but are they two separate buildings. We obviously dont know what gates swe are arriving to/departing from, but assuming they are in different concourses is 40min going to be enough? Thanks in advance

     

    40 minutes is tight but OK on a domestic to international connection. I would want more time though. It's not sufficient on an international->domestic connection at JFK.

    Arrive at DFW from New Orleans and have 1 hour to next flight to London Heathrow.Will this be enough time,do I need to go through Customs again?

     

    You do not need to go through customs after a domestic flight, you just have to get from your first flight to your second flight. If your flights are not in the same terminal take Skylink between the terminals.

     

    Many Thanks,do you think 1 hour is enough time?

     

    If your first flight is on-time, then yes, 1 hour is sufficient

     

    Many Thanks for you help

     

  • International to Domestic Transfer

    HI I am flying from Spain on Iberia (Terminal 7) landing at 2:35pm and am trying to book an American Airlines flight leaving from terminal 8 at 5:10pm. Will this be enough time to collect baggage, go through customs, transfer, re-check and get to my flight on time?

     

    Yes, it should be. Over 2 hours is enough for almost anything.

    I am flying in on United Express and have a 49 min layover to fly to DC on United. Will that be enough time? Will I have to change terminals.

     

    That's enough time but you'll have to hurry. It depends on what type of United Express flight you are on and whether your flight out is on United or United Express whether you will have to change concourses or not (Dulles only has one terminal). However, changing concourses at IAD is not difficult.

     

    Note that United Express uses Terminals (gates 70-77) & Terminal 8 (gates 80-88), while United uses Terminal 6 (gates 60-67). Look at your boarding pass and on arrival at overhead screens to find your flight & gate numbers. If you need to change terminals, T6 & T7 are connected by underground tunnel, while T8 has a short walking path between T7 & T8. In each case you would have to go through security check again and really hurry.

  • 1h 57m connection? Brussels > IAD > SFO
    Mar 13, 2013

    Hi, I'm coming in from an international flight with United UA141 on Wed., April 24 @ 2:50pm, with a 1 hour 57 min connection to SFO via United UA340. Will I be cutting the connecting flight close? I actually have this on a "FareLock" for great price, good until tomorrow, and just trying to figure out if I should confirm the booking for this. From many of the posts it seems two hours is fine enough, but there were one or two people that said they missed their international to domestic connection thru Dulles with only two hours.Still, I'm leaning towards booking it. Thanks in advance for any advice. *Also, I'm not sure what gates, etc. I'll be coming from and need to get to.. If anyone knows, I'd also appreciate the tip. Cheers

     

    Yes, that should be fine and also if you miss your connection since there are many IAD-SFO flights you have a good opportunity for rebooking. United->United international connections at IAD are pretty easy.

     

    On arrival at IAD, you will be transported to the International Arrivals Building at the west end of the main terminal for TSA clearance, where you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and thereafter re-check-in your bag where indicated. Allow for plenty of time if you need to transfer to another flight. International arrivals who continue their journey must take the shuttle bus to their connecting gate. As to gates - United uses Midfield Concourses A, B, C & D with corresponding gates (i.e. D15, etc.) To familiarize yourself with IAD's layout I suggest you open www.ifly.com/iad then click on 'Terminal Map' under QUICK LINKS and scroll down to the detailed text. Two hours transfer time should suffice.

     

  • TRANSIT VISA REQUIREMENT

    i am travelling from toronto to new delhi via jfk. My air canada flight lands at terminal 7 of jfk and i have to take my new delhi air india flight from terminal 4. i am permanent resident of canada and having permanent resident card with me. My passport is of indai. Does i need a transit visa for transferring from terminal 7 to terminal 4 of jfk.

     

    At Toronto Airport, go through U.S. customs clearance. On arrival at JFK you simply look for signs for the Airline Terminals Train and board it to get to your connecting Terminal 4. (On your return to JFK you will need to go through passport check, pick up bags, go through customs clearance and re-check-in your bag, before proceeding to your connecting terminal. Do make sure that your first airline will transfer bags to your second airline (if using different airlines).

     

  • Terminal for Southwest

    What is the terminal for Southwest Airlines at CLT? I don't seem to see it on the map. Thank you.

     

    Southwest doesn't currently fly to CLT. However, CLT only has one terminal, so when they start flying there they shouldn't be too hard to find. Their check-in and gates will probably be where Airtran is today.
