How do I get to/from Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C.?  I've reviewed  and it's hard to tell what's actually the combination easiest/cheapest way.  We're staying near Eastern Market if that makes a difference.

I am not a frequent traveler, at least not yet.  I would like to know if a 24" computer monitor in its original box the size of a large luggage would be allowed on board a plane even for an extra charge?  Moreover, I'd like to know what are the safest (and hopefully not expensive) ways I could ship the monitor.  PS: I would prefer to ship it as an extra check-in but I am afraid it gets damaged at some point due to mis-handling especially at the destination airport as I know for a fact that luggage is not well handled at the destination I will be arriving at.  This will be a one-time shipment. And it is one package.  Dimensions as provided by supplied: 53.2 x 35.1 x 4.57 cm (L x H x W)  Weight: ~ 8.5 kg  Item purchased from Amazon.fr:   PS: Original box has cardboard not foam frame.   Shipping origin: EU  Shipping destination: Middle East.  alternative idea 1: I think that taking it as hand luggage without the box would be possible as the monitor can be pivoted in landscape and portrait mode. Moreover the stand can be detached. The main weight is in the stand. Suggestions for protection and transport bag would be appreciated.  alternative idea 2: Detaching the screen and packing it in the luggage between clothes would probably keep it safe? And taking the stand as hand luggage along my backpack.

I will be flying from Boston to Tokyo with a 5.5 hour morning layover in Chicago. I'm thinking of going out to the city for some late breakfast and/or sightseeing. I've never left an airport during a layover before, so I have some questions.  I'll land in Chicago at 8am, and take off at 1:30pm.   I imagine I'll leave the airport by 9, and should be back by 11:30. Is this reasonable? What's the best way to deal with luggage? I assume that I'll have to claim the luggage from the domestic flight, then re-check it for the international flight. Can I leave the airport after re-checking it? If not, are there any luggage storage options, other than  (lol)? How much is a taxi to downtown Chicago? As an alternative to downtown, is there anything (food/sights) you can you recommend that's closer to the airport?

I have tickets that have me go via Dubai, giving me with around 2 hours transit time. I will be coming from Frankfurt to Dubai on Emirates EK046 and leaving on Emirates EK570. I don't know either the arrival gate or the next flight's departure gate. I only know that both will be in the same terminal, T3.   How large is this terminal and what is the maximum amount of time that it might take to get from one gate to another? Also, during the transit, is there a possibility that a bus/train needs to be taken?

My plane from SFO back to Germany leaves at 10 p.m. tonight, I thought I'd take an Uber from my Hotel in San Jose to the airport early, lock up my baggage there and then go downtown to explore the city.  Are there baggage lockers available at the San Francisco International Airport?  If yes, where are they located?  My flight leaves at the International Terminal G.

I'm flying from Moscow to Antalia. There is a 1.25 hour layover in Sabiha airport. in general, would it be sufficient in case of picking up luggage? The air company is the same and I will travel with two small children - if it matters.  It seems that if company is the same then they move my luggage by themselves. Am I right?

I've heard unverified stories of people who wait around at airports until there is a vacant spot on a flight where they want to go, and then get on for insanely cheap. I would also imagine that it is theoretically possible to hitch a flight with a non-commercial plane where you want to go. I'm thinking international fares in the double digit range.  Of course, the kind of travel I'm imagining would not be comfortable or convenient. I'm thinking things that might be borderline "stowaway", but legal and ethical. I don't mean flight search websites, promotional deals, or other obvious ways of flying cheap.  Does anyone have any experience or ideas on how I could travel like this?

I'm planning to travel to India from an international destination, and leaving back to the same international destination. My airline allows me to check two bags weighing 50 pounds each, and I plan to make full use of this allowance.  However, when I was booking my ticket, I found that the ticket price to my final destination in India is significantly more expensive than booking a ticket to a major hub airport (e.g. DEL, BOM, etc.) and a separate domestic ticket to my intended destination. I'm aware that if I book a ticket straight through to my final destination, I can carry the full allowance all the way through. However, I've searched around and found that if I book a domestic flight on a separate ticket, I'll only get a baggage allowance of around 15 kilograms (by weight).  As I plan to carry around 45 kilograms of baggage, which is significantly more than the 15 kilograms permitted by most airlines I've checked, it seems like I'll have to spend a lot of money in excess baggage fees. Is there a way I can transport the bags more cheaply than paying those fees, or booking a through ticket, which will probably add hundreds of dollars to the ticket price? Is there a service where I can get the baggage shipped cheaply? Or should I book a train ticket instead?

I am flying to Tokyo in November, and I have the choice to go direct (paying extra) or transit via Seoul. Is 6 hours transit time enough to leave Incheon airport for a bit to see something of Seoul? It might make my trip more worthwhile to see something of South Korea too. I don't know much about the busyness of the airport around this time, and travel time between the airport and the city, so that's why I am asking.

When arriving at JFK (or any US airport) on an international flight that didn't have pre-clearance, I know that you have to clear immigration, collect your bags, clear customs, re-drop bags, change terminals by AirTrain if needed, and then go through security, no matter what terminals are involved.   I also know that when you fly into JFK on a domestic or pre-cleared flight, and your onward flight is from that same terminal, you just step off your domestic flight into the departures area and walk to your onward gate, without needing to do security again.  At some other big US airports I've been to before (eg DFW), there is an airside transfer train that lets you move between terminals, so you can go from gate to gate without needing to exit + re-clear security. However, at JFK the only transfer train I'm aware of is AirTrain, which is landside.  Is it possible to move between terminals at JFK from within the airside / departures area? Or is the only option when changing between domestic flights at different terminals to exit, take the air-train, then queue up and re-clear security?

I have flight where I need to move from airplane to another. Do I need to check out my luggage and then check it in again, or will it be automatically transferred to another plane?

I have two different bookings on British Airways and Emirates.  Booking 1 (British Airways): Washington (IAD) -> London (LHR) -> Dubai  Booking 2 (Emirates): Dubai -> Hyderabad  I have a 5 hour stop in Dubai but do not have a visa to leave the airport. British Airways says they won't through-check my bags. Emirates says it won't be a problem since Emirates and BA are partner airlines.   Not sure what I should do at this point. My flight is tomorrow so its too late to apply for a visa. I have actually done with before without a problem on the same two airlines. The only difference was that it was on a single ticket booked through a travel website.

I've travelled a lot.  Living in New Zealand or the UK means anywhere is likely a flight, but I've always flown economy.  Twice between LA and Auckland I managed to get the exit row after talking nicely to the check-in girl, but apart from that, nothing.  I've spoken to ticket agents, tried 'check in chicken' (where you wait until the last minute before checking in, hoping there's an overbooking of economy) but have never managed to get an upgrade, while others I know seemingly get them quite often.  What strategy have you used or do you suggest to achieve this?  My next flight is from Melbourne to Tokyo, and I plan on trying all of these ;)  (Related questions on  and  upgrades)

I'm flying into Melbourne, Australia first thing in the morning in a few weeks.  At that time of the morning (rush hour, I assume) a taxi would be madness. What's the most cost efficient form of public transport from there to the city center?

I have read a lot on this subject on the Lonely Planet forum and it looks like the staff on ground can transfer your bags through the Delhi airport if you have a connecting flight without you having to go out to check them in again and therefore needing a visa. I refer of course to the situation when you go with 2 different airlines, because otherwise the luggage is transfered automatically.  I posted a  and mentioned it briefly there, however I think this subject deserves a separate question and a detailed answer.  Does it depend on the type on an airline? I have read that Jet is no problem, what about AirIndia and IndiGo? And what about the incoming flight to Delhi from Europe or USA, do they all can hand over you luggage to the Indian airlines and pick it up again on the way home? Do you have to contact them before and explain your situation? Or check in your luggage directly to your desired destination?
