Is there a way to fly on a cargo plane as a passenger? Any airlines offer such an experience? I know there are some seats at the front of cargo planes, perhaps these can be used?

Some time ago I heard someone telling about travelling in cargo planes. Apparently some of those planes have a limited amount of extra seats and companies would sell them for an extra profit.  Does anyone have any information about this? Is that still possible?

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 flying to Tokyo. The flight was sold through Finnair. The first leg is operated by American Airlines. The second and final legs are operated by Finnair.  When I checked in online, it said that some airports on my journey (didn't say which one) don't allow mobile boarding passes?? Meaning I will need a physical copy.  Unfortunately I don't have easy access to a printer. Will I still be able to print all my boarding passes at the airport even though I already checked in online?

I am flying from the USA to Switzerland with a one way ticket. I will also be flying from Switzerland to Spain and be traveling around in Europe but I do not have a return ticket because I am not sure from which country I will be departing from. Would this be an issue for the airlines?  I am flying through American Airlines and Iberia.

A commercial airport being any airport that has regular scheduled passenger flights.  The mathematics of  got me thinking: is the network of scheduled flights a connected graph?  That is, is there a pair (or triplet or even larger set) of airports such that they only have scheduled flights with each other?  Or can you get from any airport to any other?  Ignore vagaries like cargo and general aviation. I'm looking for two airports that I can shuttle between, but would have to drive (or sail) to get to one or the other of them.

I recently came across a quite interesting problem:  "One hundred passengers are lined up to board a full flight. The first passenger lost his boarding pass and decides to choose a seat randomly. Each subsequent passenger (responsible enough to not lose their boarding pass) will sit in his or her assigned seat if it is free and, otherwise, randomly choose a seat from those remaining. What is the probability that the last passenger will get to sit in his assigned seat?"  I figured out that the probability would be 0.5. If you would like to know why I would link you to another topic on this site where this problem was discussed.    However, I kept thinking about what the probability would be if there were multiple people who lost their boarding pass. So for example, the first 5 people out of the 100 passengers lost their boarding pass so they take a random seat. Every person that boards the plane after him will either take their "proper" seat, or if that seat is taken, a random seat instead. Then what is the probability that the last passenger will get to sit in his assigned seat? I have trouble figuring it out and I hope that some of you could help me.  Thanks in advance!

I've been trying to buy Allegiant Air tickets for an August 20 trip for several weeks now and every time I check their website I see the following:  Displaying all available flight dates. Now accepting reservations through Tue Aug 15, 2017.  At first I thought that only showed flights like 7 months in advance or some such. Under that hypothesis they'd have added the August 20 flights a few days after I initially checked. But nope - a few weeks has passed and I'm still seeing that message. So now I'm wondering...  when will tickets for flights after August 15 be available for purchase?

My son is traveling for the first time by plane, although he is 24 years old. He will travel by plane from Zagreb to Copenhagen (on 28.2.) and he has to take a train to Odense. I'm wondering is it difficult to find train station at the airport (could he walk from terminal 2 do train station) and how he would manage to get on the right train. He has his train ticket already.

I'm flying this week on Southwest Airlines for the first time. I paid for "Early Bird" automatic checkin and the FAQ mentions something about "A" boarding passes. I have no idea what that means, and I know that Southwest doesn't have assigned seats.  How does the boarding process work and is there anything I should be aware of?

Is there an appropriate place to suggest new Stack Exchange based sites, perhaps a place for them to be voted upon?  I wish there was a Stack Exchange site for Aviation (both real-life and simulated).

Can you help me decide, what type of transport can I use to travel from one US town to another (it will be a big journey), without flying?  Are buses available, and is there any more suitable method of traveling?

I tend to bring something quite fragile with me as cabin luggage. On my next journey I want to bring a special bottle of champagne (because of sentimental reasons). Unfortunately you can't bring a bottle with you as cabin luggage.  I already know that it is okay to bring a bottle of  as check-in luggage (even confirmed by .)  I am wondering how you can transport a bottle of champagne in your luggage in such a way it doesn't break easily.

If I understand the TSA's  in the US correctly, you are allowed to take two 3-ounce containers of a liquid on a plane, but not a single 6-ounce container of the same liquid. Is this really how the policy works? If so, what was the rationale for regulating carry-ons like this?

We had , which covered ground on what happens to flight prices over the period.  What I'm interested to know is if I had to fly out at short notice, say within 1-2 days, then am I better off booking within that 1-2 day gap online, or am I better off trying my luck directly at the airport (as long as I'm willing to wait at the airport) for a cheaper price? Is there any truth to rumours that airlines sell tickets at cheaper prices at the airport right before flights to fill empty seats or is that a myth?

I would like to know if my brother can fly by United Airlines from USA to El Salvador, and my father, from El Salvador to USA using the same round trip ticket, both of them have the same name.

In the next two months I will be flying overseas to the Philippines to pick up my fiancee. I will be booking a round trip ticket, and will need to find a way to book her a ticket on the same route back as my return leg… but I can't seem to figure out a good way to do this.  Would I be better off booking two round-trip tickets, and let her seat fly empty for the trip there? Is this something where I would be better off using a travel agent instead of trying to book online or direct?

I was offered a job in Brazil and wanted to make sure it was a good place for my kids so booked a flight the morning of the offer for a flight later that morning.  I arrived at airport for my direct flight to Brazil, was issued boarding passes, took the flight but was refused entry upon arrival.  The airline flew me back, but I think they shouldn't have even let me board since I now know Americans are not allowed to enter Brazil w/o tourist visa?  I don't mind paying the cancellation fees but I feel the rest of the cost of the flight should be refunded?  Am I correct?
