Flying from IND to ORF and need to purchase an adult roundtrip ticket, and a child one way ticket for the same
flight? I contacted NWA (the airline that has the flights we want) and they insist that I must order the child ticket over the phone and that I have to pay the unaccompanied minor fee. This doesn't sound right at all. He won't be accompanied, he will be traveling with me! The child is my nephew, he is going to visit his father in Virginia. His father was going to fly one way to Indianapolis, only to get back on another plane with my nephew and fly back to Virginia (he would be purchasing 2 roundtrips for the two of them). This makes no sense to me for him to do all this un-necessary traveling (his father has heart problems, has a defibulator and a pacemaker). I am from Virginia originally and have been wanting to visit, so I volunteered to accompany my nephew on the flight (it benefits everyone). I would be staying a week, my nephew will be staying for almost 2 months. This can't be an uncommon situation, can it? Will a local travel agent be able to help? I just checked and for me to buy 2 one ways ticket instead of 1 roundtrip is only $30 bucks more. This will probably be the best option for me instead of the unaccompanied minor crap they are trying to pull on me.

Why don't you buy two round-trips? It might be cheaper than two one-ways. Then he would not use the return portion of his r/t. Then, he would have to buy another r/t but that still might be cheaper. How is he getting back? Who's taking him then? Also try calling again, getting another agent and if the story is the same, ask nicely for a supervisor. Just make sure this is the right story! I've been given misinformation myself over the phone... This sounds like a case where both people have to have the same exact booking. It's in the computer and they may not be able to change it. Please be sure you have 1. a certified copy of his birth certificate (assuming he's American, if not, his passport). 2. a permission letter from the dad, better yet, both parents. 3. a medical release to give you authority while he's with you. These might have to be notarized. Contact your lawyer and ask. Sorry to hear about his dad's health issues. Here are my flying tips. I'm a former Flight Attendant and I fly a couple of times a year with my three kids between Europe and America. It's totally non-commercial. http://flyingwithchildren.blogspot.com... Good luck!

Pittsburgh International Airport... eep
Pittsburgh International Airport... eep!!?
I'm flying for the first time ever (by myself at that!) from Pittsburgh International to Indianapolis to see my brother right over Easter. I was just wondering how on earth you go about check ins and security and tickets and all that fun stuff... I am looking into buying an "electronic ticket"?? on Travelocity, and it says that its $50 extra to get a paper ticket. Don't I need something to show that I have the ticket? Or do they tell me to print something out? I'm so lost... Also, how do check ins go? I'm only taking a carry-on suitcase that my mom used on her flight to Orlando. Also, she took a backpack as another carry-on. What am I allowed to do on the plane? I know I have to have my phone and Blackberry off. Can I take a cd player? What about laptops? Do they count as a piece of luggage themselves or can I just pack it in a bigger piece of luggage.... Sorry for the 50 questions, I'm just nervous! Not about the flying part, but the before and after parts!!!

Paper tickets are very 20th century ... electronic tickets are now the standard. I would stay away from Traveocity and the other consolidators, UNLESS you have already checked the airline websites and found a better price. Say, Travelocity offers you a ticket for X dollars, chances are, you could get the ticket for the same price from the website of whatever airline they are selling - but you would have the protection of having booked directly with the airline in the event of delay, cancellation, reroute or whatever. If you have a e-ticket, you can check in on line using the printed confirmation you will receive. If you opt to go with a paper ticket, you will need to wait at the airport. You can check two bags, and carry on one plus a "personal item", in your case, your laptop. Write if you need further answers.

When you get an e-ticket, you'll arrive at the airport, find the desks of your airline and check-in. There, they'll print your ticket and take your checked luggage from you. You'll then go through security where you'll need to put all of your belongs through, and possibly your shoes too (make sure to keep your boarding pass and id in your hand when you go through). You'll then go to your gate and wait until your boarding time. They'll make announcements at your gate to tell you when you can board and all of that. You're allowed one carry on and a personal item (purse, laptop, etc. (put your cd player and phone in one of them)) Once on the plane, they'll give you a speech about what to do in case of an emergency and tell you to turn off all electronic devices. When your plane reaches it's cruising altitude (usually about 15-20 minutes after you take off) you'll be allowed to use your cd player or other electronics (not including your phone or blackberry). About 20 minutes before landing, they'll again tell you to turn off your electronics. As soon as your plane lands, they'll let you know it's safe to use your phone but nothing else. You'll stay on the plane until they have everything ready to de-plane and then you'll get off, meet your brother and get your bags. None of this is a big deal- there will be signs for EVERYTHING with arrows and such. My one hint is to chew gum through your flight to help prevent your ears from popping too bad (especially when taking off). Good luck and have fun!

Ha! I love this question- I know Pittsburgh's airport very well, it's actually a really nice airport. As soon as you get into the terminal area you'll feel calm. You don't need a physical ticket, etickets are fine. You should print out your travelocity web page though, with the itinerary, so that you know your flight numbers, etc. And of course the phone # of whoever you're meeting. You have a cell? Tell your brother what your flight number is so he can find the terminal and be waiting for you. When you get in, find your airline's check-in counter (there will be rows of them) and wait in line to talk to a rep to check in. They may make you use the e-checkin thing, but they'll tell you how. Get to the airport early. You probably are nervous enough that you will be plenty early. I get there an hour and a half early for domestic. You can have a cd player and a laptop but turn it off when they say to over the PA system "please turn off electronic devices" etc etc. (Although you know you don't need BOTH a cd player and a laptop because your laptop plays cd's right?). Yes pack the laptop and cd player in your carry on. Also you can't bring liquids in containers more than 3 ounces. It's totally lame. You may was well just not bring any liquids. Food you can bring, but that's a short flight. I've flown from that airport to indiana MANY times. So I've done your flight before a lot.
