Air Travel

Southwest Airlines does not preassign seats. They board in groups "A," "B," and "C."

If you are away from home and don't have access to the internet, how do you "check-in" early or do something else so as to avoid being in group "C" and possibly not being able to sit with your kids?

(My kids tell me that they think Southwest is "unorganized" since they don't make it easy for kids to sit with parents. Even United, US Air, Delta, all do that.)

US Airways lost my luggage. They finally paid me - but far less than the value of what was lost and less than the limit of their liability. How can I sue them or take them to arbitration? There was no breakdown of how they arrived at the figure they paid me. Thanks!

I'm 15 and I'm going to California from the east coast by myself. Last summer i went but i had an escort. So I have a few questions:
1. When i go to the airport to check my bags and get boarding passes, do i get boarding passes for all of my connecting flights at the same time? I am connecting in Charlotte and at Dulles before landing in CA.
2. My friend bought my tickets for me at usairways.com. Do i just bring my confirmation number to the airport in place of tickets? Are there tickets i have to print out?
3. Any suggestions for flying crosscountry and navigating the airports??

Thanks so much

I recently had spinal fusion surgery, and I have titanium rods and screws as well as a batery pack implanted in my back---never to be removed. When going thru an airport, I will surely set off the metal detector. Will I always have to give explanation of my hardware, or is there some kind of paper the doctor gives you? Whats the deal?

My brother is giving us his miles so we can get tickets to go to Italy next summer. His miles will be enough for coach. Would it be possible to purchase an upgrade to business/first class? This would be American Airlines. The flights would probably be NYC Rome; Venice/NYC

I leave on July 6, but my passport expires on July 9. Im also a minor, so I have a guardian flying with me. He bought the ticket early, and there are no more tickets. I have a travel agent friend who reserved me a seat, but he just flew to South Africa for the month. I need a seat with my guardian. What should I do? Also, we have a connecting flight in Dubai, UAE. My guardian is only staying for 3 hrs, but im staying for a day. I have friends in Dubai that can take care of me for 1 whole day, but the question is can I fly from Dubai to Lahore, Pakistan alone? Im 15, and my guardian is also flying to Lahore, but earlier. Im flying late, but I have more friends in Lahore. So can I fly to Lahore alone?

The deal allows the USA to demand up to 34 pieces of information from passengers flying to the USA. This information has to be transmitted before the plane takes off. No information about even one passenger and the plane can't land at an American airport.

See the story below to see what can be found out about you it's scary.
