Can I change my flight time on Continental

Can I change my flight time on Continental?
My flight isn't till October and I want to change the connecting flight time in Houston to the next flight out. My current connection is only 53 minutes layover and I want to change to the next flight (an hour later) to give me more time for changing planes (I have to change terminals). Can I do this or am I stuck having to run to make my connection? Is there a fee for it? Also, I already changed my seats (travel agent got me seats in the back of the plane). If I keep changing stuff will they think I'm a terrorist? This is my 1st time to fly. The entire flight is on Continental They are advance purchase tickets-non refundable. This travel agent didn't help me at all- knowing I had never bought plane tickets so I didn't know the connect time wasn't good till after I bought the tickets.

If you bought the cheapest price tickets, they usually charge you a fee if you change any portion. Hopefully your departing flight will not be delayed so you have time to make your layover. If you can, try to find out where your connecting gate is located by asking the flight attendant. Sometimes they announce gates if you are connecting to another city. Maybe the connecting gate isn't too far away. Hopefully your airplane is small so that it will not take you too long to get off the plane.

Continental charges $100 for the change... plus any additional fare if the new flight is currently more expensive than when you origianally booked it. It's like rebooking the ticket. The new price prevails.. plus $100.
3 :
you can do anything if it is booked you cannot change. but if there is an accommodation they will do this for you

probably already. Call your bank.

I booked a trip with orbitz about a month and a half ago so I have some experience with this. It did seem to take awhile for the money to come out of my account, but then again I did it on a Friday so it wasn't until the following Tuesday or Wednesday the funds came out of my account. They take it out in seperate increments - one for each activity (for instance, the airline, there and back, the hotel, any transportation, and any activities.) Hope it helps!

Delta Flight from Dubai to Houston

Delta Flight from Dubai to Houston?
This is the first time that I will travel on Delta so I was wondering if anyone has ever traveled on Delta Airlines from Dubai to Houston? If so how was it? Thanks in advance!

your flight is not non-stop on Delta to Houston, rather, it will make a connection somewhere enroute, and most likely will be with one of the partnered airlines of SkyTeam...of which Delta Airlines is a member.
2 :
it is a one-stopper via Atlanta. "change of gauge" from 777 down to...I think MD80? or maybe 737
3 :
Delta does not have a non stop to Dubai. You would have to make a connection in Atlanta (Delta's hub) and catch a flight from there. You would start the flight in Houston with either an MD88 or a CRJ 900. Then in Atlanta you would transfer to a 777. However if you are looking for a non stop flight, Emirates flies non stop on 777. Very nice airline, amazing service, and great food.

I found that sometimes you get the best way is to call airlines direct. Sometimes the internet is cheaper, sometimes the phone operators are cheaper, sometimes travel agents are cheaper. Check out all three to make sure you get the best deal. There are a few other simple suggestions you should follow too: -- Choose the same airline for all legs of your itinerary whenever possible so you can take advantage of all connecting and round-trip airfares. -- Try to fly on the least popular days: Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday. -- Remember that Saturday night stays are usually required for most bargain airfares. -- Try to select the least popular flight times: mid-morning or late evening. -- Check with discount airlines for cheaper fares. -- Try to book as far in advance as possible. Generally try to purchase your tickets at least 21 days in advance of departure. Many airlines also have specials requiring three-, seven- or 14-day advance purchase. -- In general, the cheapest airfares are available in the spring and summer. -- If you travel around the holidays, book your departure and return flights a day or more before and after peak travel dates. If you're flexible, you might benefit by waiting until the last minute to book your flight because major carriers often run special sales. These sales, however, often have a long list of rules, restrictions and blackout dates. --Consider booking tickets that come with restrictions because they also come with a cheaper price tag. -- Consider using alternate airports near your desired airport. The extra drive can save you hundreds of dollars. --Be as flexible as possible with your dates. If I can be of more assistance, feel free to contact me. Good luck and I hope you have a wonderful trip!

You could probably find out the flight time by checking on expedia.. it would probably include the transfer time too. As for renting or taxis, I've heard the public transportation in Houston is very good, so I would consider taking taxis, unless you are planning on venturing out of the city.
2 :
It depends on what airline you choose. For instance, if you choose Frontier or United, you'll have a layover in Denver, whereas if you choose Southwest or American you'll have a layover in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. If you are lucky enough to find a nonstop flight from Monterey to Houston, your travel time will probably be less.
3 :
You will probably have to fly from Monterey to LAX which is about 50 minutes, then LAX-Houston is about 3 hours & 20 minutes. Once here, it depends on how much running around you want to do. Mass transit is almost non-existant here, the Light Rail really only runs from the Med Center through Downtown but there are busses. Houston is over 600 square miles and it took me a couple of years to find my way around (okay, not one of my strong points!) so finding your way driving may be difficult. I would recommend that you take taxis if you will only be here briefly. Oh, and try to get a hotel close to where you will be working.
4 :
I just flew back from CA, it took about 3 hours or something, but I had a layover in Phoenix. Since you said you were bad with directions, I'd take a taxi if I were your.
5 :
If you were to get a direct flight from Monterey to Houston it would be approx. 3 Hrs 35 Min. You can get flight times for airports all over the world at https://www.jets.com/
6 :
Not sure but a direct flight from Houston to San Francisco is 4 hours.
