Missing a flight with Delta being Delta's fault?
Missing a flight with Delta being Delta's fault? Maybe NOT Delta's fault, but I'm scheduled on two Delta flights. Boise to Minneapolis, then Minneapolis to Indianapolis. (Boise to Indianapolis being the trip) Unfortunately, there's a whole 30 minutes between each flight. That's the worst transfer time limit I've ever seen. If my first flight is late, and I miss the second, what's Delta's policy? Am I absolutely BONED? or do I get a chance at being on a stand-by flight? I'm not aware, I always fly Southwest and this is my first Delta trip. BTW, I've emailed Delta but they never replied. That's reassuring.

You will be placed on stand by for the next trip. It the plane is late that is on them, normally they will do what is needed to get you to your other gate. When on the plane mention to your flight attendant that you only have 30 minutes to get to your next plane, she might let you get off first!

This happened to me on delta wednesday they were nice enough to put me on the next available plane.

Don't worry - this happens a lot. Weather delay, mechanical delays and so on can sometimes make you miss a flight even with a 3 hour connection layover (happened to me). They will book you onto the next flight on which there is space. They won't charge you for it. They have an obligation to transport you to the destination for which you bought a ticket. The fly in the ointment, however, is that with so many flights running near capacity these days, the next flight with an available seat might not be for many hours.

Bag checking info-Intercontinental airport-houston and/or the Indianapolis airport and/or airports in general
Bag checking info-Intercontinental airport-houston and/or the Indianapolis airport and/or airports in general?
This Saturday, I am flying with my mom out of Houston to Indianapolis. This will be my first flight ever. I have a cell phone, that for personal reasons, my mother cannot find out about. I know that if i have it carry-on, it will have to go on a tray, or something of the sort, and my mom will be able to see it in clear view. So, i was thinking that I would put it in my checked suitcase. I need step by step instructions on what happens with checked bags at airports like: -Do security guards actually look through checked bags, enough to where mom could see the phone? -Will my checked bag just go through the X-ray? -I am going to take the battery out of the phone and put it in a different side of my suitcase, will this cause a problem with security officers? Also, any other advice on how to hide this phone is greatly appreciated!! I read everyone's answers, no matter how long, and I always choose a best answer :) Thanks guys!!

If you keep the phone in your carry on, it will be scanned but your mother will not be able to see the scanning screen. However, there is a chance they will want to look through your bag, and it would be possible that they'll pull out the phone. There's no problem whatsoever in putting the cell phone in your checked baggage. You don't need to remove the battery, although it might be a good idea just for safety. Checked baggage is rarely checked other than by xray. If your bag is selected for random screening, the agents will look through your stuff. If you're concerned that they might be concerned about the battery, put it in an envelope that is clearly marked "cell phone battery." The examination of your checked baggage is done out of sight of passengers, so your mom will not see it being done.

You are allowed to keep your cell phone in the carry on bag as it goes through the screening, they only electronic device that needs to be out on its own is a laptop. I would high suggest not packing you cell phone in your checked luggage, as it is more likely to get damaged or go missing. Hope this helps and have a great trip!

You will not have to go through security twice, so if your plane departs and lands anywhere near on time you sill have time to spare, Just make sure you have enough time to get through security in Indianapolis. and take a book so you will have something to fill up your time besides shopping. Good Luck, and I hope you enjoy the experience.
2 :
An hour and a half layover is plenty of time. Boarding usually begins half an hour before departure, and the process takes about 15-20 minutes. The general guidelines are: 10 minutes before departure - be in your seat 5 minutes before departure - aircraft and jetway doors close I would think you would be in the same terminal in Charlotte since it's the same airline. You may want to double check with the gate agent in Indianapolis, or if you print your boarding pass online, it should state the gate numbers. I haven't flown to or through Charlotte, so I can't give a personal experience from that perspective.

You will be fine. Take a look at the terminal map and maybe even print it: http://www.charmeck.org/NR/rdonlyres/esj4n3hy6prtv3fxjnotlruy4hdifprkrsosiaabfimeyscgrcx2qvqzuxvgfxgui45dqgrzdmyizj5drbgkdujp5cd/TERMDIRECTORY2008.pdf When arriving into Charlotte the crew will tell you what gate you arrive to. After leaving the airplane look at a monitor for your next gate and go there at least 30 min before departure. The only risk you have is that your flight will be delayed and you miss the connection in Charlotte. If this should happen, don't worry it happens sometimes. I guess both flights are on the same ticket? If so, the airline will rebook you on the next available flight. Don't be nervous, have fun!

Where is the outrage from PETA over the murdered scorpions in Indianapolis
Where is the outrage from PETA over the murdered scorpions in Indianapolis?
Was it really necessary to kill them? Something is wrong here. http://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2009-07-20-scorpion-stings-passenger_N.htm?csp=YahooModule_Travel&POE=click-refer

When that happened, they were all at the funeral for a fly murdered in cold blood by the President, and could not be reached for comment.

It's standard practice to euthanize stow-away critters like that. You can't simply release them and if there's no secure place for them to stay then there's no choice. On occasions, foreign creatures like that may end up in a zoo - but it's not always appropriate. It's just commonsense.
