Air Travel

My step-daughter (17) was flying back to her mother's in Detroit after a visit with her father. She was leaving a small one-gate airport where we thought all the planes went to Detroit. It was announced that her flight was delayed one hour so when the hour was up and they announced that boarding was ready to begin at her gate she got on the plane with her boarding pass being checked twice. Unfortunately, when she landed she found herself in Minneapolis instead of Detroit! I'm just curious--how often do airlines lose their passengers (I know losing luggage is relatively common)? The funny thing is, her luggage arrived in Detroit just fine!

I have been told that it's due to headwinds, but a friend of mine recently said it's because your flying in the opposite direction that the world is turning... I think thats very wrong because as far as I know, as we're in the gravitaional field of this earth, the spinning really doesn't affect us at all does it?

I am purchasing one way airline tickets for my sister who will be in ORD next month. (its going to be one month away from now) I checked on all of the airlines websites (travelocity,priceline,expedia...etc) and their prices were about $80s one way this Monday but when I checked their prices today are $280 one way. WHY is that? Their prices are $280 or more till the end of this year. I am so confused and frustrated. Please help. Thanks

The people at the airlines aren't the nicest people if you don't mine me saying. Even though I'm only a teenager and i don't know everything. But every time i say hello to them or ask how their doing ( every time i fly somewhere) they always seem rude. Another time i was flying alone and i needed help with my suitcase and asked them politely to help me and one of the stewards said " sorry i am not authorized to do that" .

I'm flying back to bangkok from london next week, and i want to take my electric...but people have been warning me that london airports are getting super-weird and might not let you take it on as hang luggage...
i don't really want to buy a hard case, and even then would it be safe to put it at the bottom of the plane??

I got flgiht ticket from a potential employer in my spouse city. I want to extend the ticket so I can stay a bit longer with my spouse, rather than just one day. I am thinking to go to the airline company, change the tickets and pay all money because of this change.

My question is : Will the potential employer knows I change the ticket? I am not sure if the comapny know whether this will be considered unprofessional for job hunting.So it will be safe if the flgiht change is only on my and airline side

Thanks,

Why is a travel agency always able to give me a better price on an airline ticket than I can get on line from the computer.

It is easy to go to an airline site and find out what passenger ID is accepted by the airline. However, BWI passenger ID checks are now done by TSA, and I cannot find a URL that lists everything they will and will not accept. My Iraqi friend's passport series has been cancelled, and he has not yet been able to get a new passport from Baghdad. Because of this, he also does not have a US driver's licence. He has an Iraqi drivers's license and a US college ID, along with his old I-20 and student visa (in the old passport). He has an application for asylum and a credit card. What else will the TSA folks view as credible ID so he can accompany my on a flight between Baltimore and Boise?
