Connecting flight through Houston Hobby?
I'm flying from PHX to HOU on Southwest and then connecting to JetBlue to New York. How hard is it to make that connection. It looks like I will have about 45 minutes to make that connection. Also would my luggage be transferred??

The airport is not that big. 45 minutes is enough for a connection time. Your luggage should be transferred so you do not need to pick up your bags until you reach New York.

Hobby isn't a huge airport so you will be able to make your connection.Your luggage as well. I've done that a few times and surprisingly, I got my luggage. American is the airlines that is good for losing luggage. Enjoy your trip!

Houston Hobby is a one terminal airport. However, 45 minutes will not be enough time to make that JetBlue flight. Southwest and JetBlue do not interline, so you would have to pick up your luggage and re-check it into JetBlue. I just did some digging on jetBlue's site, and they have a 30 minute cut-off time for check-in for Houston. So it's not likely that they would allow you to check in. My suggestion would be to gate check your bag at Southwest, and then gate check the bag for Jetblue. That way you can just show up at the gate directly for jetblue and check in there and ask them to tag your bag. Since they fly the E-190 on the route, I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue since that plane is pretty small overhead bins. ***UPDATE*** Your baggage WILL NOT be transferred for you! Southwest and JetBlue do not interline. Southwest will send your bags to the baggage claim and you will have to claim them and check them in with JetBlue!! If you assume that your checked luggage will be automatically rerouted, then you'll be without underwear for x-amount of days. Follow my gate check advice if you want to save time and get your luggage.

Hobby is a rather small airport. You should not have a problem as tall. I had a 35 min connection through Atlanta the other day. Now that was tough!

WATCH YOUR TIME.. I've been caught up passing through Houston because of the time zone changes. Your luggage will be transferred, but AS SOON AS YOU EXIT THE RAMP.. go to the desk and find out if you have time to make the connection.. they may have to put you on one of those scooters to get you there. You are in for a hairy time, but you should be able to make the connection. Of course, the flight crew on your plane can tell you, too.

go to cheaptickets.com

I fly a lot, and the best, cheapest source I have found is sidestep.com. Be patient while it cycles through all the options. Odds are it will come up with the best deal.
3 :
better way to send an e-mail to jn.travels@hotmail.com with you dates & name of passenger.

Since there is no dedicated, low-fare service on this route, you're best to find a good source to alert you about airfare sales. Try http://www.smartertravel.com Currently, Continental is cheapest with a sale fare of only $174 round trip, tax included, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays in March, with advance purchase, and staying 30 days or less. Southwest fly from Hobby to nearby Ft. Lauderdale (just north of Miami), but even their cheapest "fun fare" currently is $108 more than the Continental sale I mentioned.

some good deals

Probably the airline's website directly is the best option. I fly a lot (several times a month) for work so I book a lot of travel. I usually check expedia.com or orbitz.com or one of those sites, and see which airline has the cheapest flights. Then, I go to that airline's website and pick the exact same flights, and more than 99% of the time I get the exact same fare. Except, most of those websites charge a "booking fee" of $5 or more so it's actually cheaper through the airline. And many airlines guarantee that you will get the cheapest fare through their own website. I know American Airlines does this and probably most others do also. Also, many of the "low-fare" airlines (Southwest, JetBlue) do not list their fares on those websites so you actually have to go to the airline's websites. However, most of the time I find those airlines to be at least as expensive as other airlines. Plus, like with Southwest, you'd have to fly into Ft. Lauderdale instead of Miami, which may work for you, but if you have to pay to get from there to Miami (like a cab or a shuttle or something) then it may not be cost effective even if the airline ticket is only a little cheaper. So basically, it pays to shop around but generally the airline's website is cheaper.

How do I know which terminal for my flight at DFW
How do I know which terminal for my flight at DFW?
Am flying into DFW on American Airlines and connecting to another AA flight to Houston. Problem is, which terminal? AA services 3 terminals at DFW and my particular flights, both of them, are actually American Eagle, which services an additional 2 terminals. Which of the 5 terminals do I use? It is not on my e-ticket. As I have never been to DFW and this is only my second time flying, I'm not sure where this information would be. Any help is appreciated.

You can ask a person who is working at the gate when you leave your first flight. DFW isn't that hard to navigate (i've been through there several times). When in doubt, ask. They won't bite, i promise. I've always asked just in case, so i know where i'm going.
2 :
if you are interest dfw has volunteer ambassador who can meet your flight and guide you to your connecting flight i used them myself you can contact them at From: "Coward, Jeffery" <jcoward@dfwairport.com> ... Jeffery Coward Ambassador Program Coordinator DFW International Airport (972) 574-1493 (office) (972) 574-8961 (fax) have a good trip

DFW is one of my favorite airports! There are plenty of volunteers walking about you can ask or check the info boards. Once you know the correct terminal and gate, jump on the Skylink fir an easy trip to your correct terminal.
4 :
Though the bulk of American Eagle flights at DFW go into the B terminal, there are some Eagle flights that will go out of different terminals. You can go to the AA website the day before your flight to check the flight status for your flights -- in addition to showing whether the flight is on time, it will also show departure and arrival gates for the flights. American flight attendants are also good at announcing arrival and connection gates during the flight, so when they make those announcements, you'll get to find out information on the gates there, too. Keep in mind, though, that these gates can change -- you'll want to double-check the gate information located on monitors throughout the airport.
5 :
The gate determination won't happen until the day of the flight. Even then it could change at a moments notice. That's why people should allow close to an hour layover. You will not know what gate your flight will be assigned to to disembark in DFW. You also can't be sure which gate the flight will be to houston until you actually land in DFW. I've been on several flights where the gate of the connecting flight has changed while in flight.
