Re- aware sorry... Does a flight on Song departing from LAX  have to go thru Miami, to get back to JFK?

It seems like a flight from LAX to JFK would waste more fuel than necessary by stopping in Miami.

Aaliyah traveled to the Bahamas in August 2001 to film the "Rock the Boat" video with director Hype Williams. On August 25, 2001, at 6:45 pm, just after filming was completed, Aaliyah and 7 friends boarded a Cessna 402 small aircraft en route to Opa-Locka Airport in a suburb of Miami. The journey would have taken approximately 1 hour travel time. Instead, the plane nosedived while taking off and crashed in a marsh on the south side of the departure end of runway 27. All nine people aboard, including Aaliyah, the pilot and the other seven passengers, were killed.\n\nShe is interred in a private room in the Rosewood Mausoleum at the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York.\n\nSaturday, August 25, 2001, Aaliyah, and eight others were killed in a plane crash. Apparently, a twin engine Cessna 402B (N8097W) illegally operated by Luis Morales III was departing Abaco Island in the Bahamas. It is believed that this aircraft was headed to Opa Locka, Florida when the ill fated flight suddenly crashed, shortly after takeoff killing everyone aboard. Reports have shown that the pilot, Luis Morales III , lacked the skill level needed to safely operate this aircraft. Morales falsely obtained his license from Black Hawk Airways by showing hundreds of hours never flown, suggesting he was not qualified to pilot the plane in the first place. Additionally, an autopsy of the pilot, Luis Morales III, revealed cocaine and alcoholic beverage in his blood.\n\nFurther investigations determined the plane was over its total gross weight by several hundred pounds. Although witnesses claimed that the passengers had been asked to leave some luggage behind, it was later discovered that the passengers, including Aaliyah, had not been informed of the excess weight.\n\nEddie Golson, president of Pro Freight Cargo Services at Opa Locka Airport, said workers carted "a pickup truck of freight" from the crash site Monday. "That's absurd to think that this pilot got in this airplane with eight other people and a truck full of freight and expected this thing to fly," Golson said. "What the hell was going on?" A baggage handler was reported to have said the passengers were in a hurry to get back to the states to catch a connecting flight and no one weighed the passengers or baggage.\n\nThe day of the crash was Mr. Morales' first official day with Blackhawk International Airways. He had been employed with Golden Airlines in which he was fired 4 hours before the fatal crash. Blackhawk International Airways was authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration as a part single pilot operation. In addition, Luis Morales III was not registered with the FAA to fly for Blackhawk, nor was Blackhawk licensed as a multi pilot operation. However, with Morales acting as pilot in command of the Cessna 402B, this made the airline a multi pilot operation, which was a clear violation of the law, and FAA regulations. As a result of the accident, a wrongful death law suit was filed by Aaliyah’s parents, and was later settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.\n\nBarry & Sons, Inc., a corporation formed in 1992 to develop, promote and capitalize on the musical talents of Aaliyah and to oversee the production and distribution of her records, tapes and music videos, brought an unsuccessful lawsuit in New York Supreme Court the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Instinct Productions LLC, (a company hired by Barry & Sons, Inc. in August, 2001 to produce the "Rock the Boat" music video). The case was dismissed since New York State's wrongful death statute only permits certain people to recover damages for wrongful death.

I'm having one of those weeks right now. I was supposed to have a 3 day layover due to business (I'm a pilot). It turned into 8 days stuck in a hotel with the only things to do: have a jaccuzzi (having one alone it stinks), watch tv (only thing besides news shows is p0 Rn0 and they're all re-runs), or eat. So I've been eating a lot and watching tv because I don't know anybody here and there isn't even anywhere around to rent a car to go into the city to sightsee. This "international" airport is about 20 miles away from the city and they have like 2 car rental places and they each have about 2 cars to rent. \nSO I've been eating at the hotel which doesn't even have a weight room or a pool. I brought my trunks because my next few flights were supposed to be LAX to Hawaii. Instead I get stuck in Canada and it's freezing cold with snow, I have no winter coat. So I'm eating and sitting around for 8 days and now I have to leave tomorrow morning and now I find my work pants don't fit. I mean I can't get the zipper up at all. And my jacket is tight. I've been wearing sweats for 8 days. I've never gained weight so fast before and I'm S-rewed in the morning. What am I supposed to wear sweats and my dress shirt and tie and carry my jacket? I can't even get to a store to get a bigger pair of pants and I don't know any of the other airlines people at the hotel. The one guy I met the other day is a stringbean so I can't even buy his extra pair of pants.\nSOOO I know this is already one of these weeks for me. It's one of these months.

Most likely it is a suspension for their anticks of not doing the show because of tech problems. I'm sure WJFK management said to do the show from the old studio while they worked out the issue of the link between the new studio and the station. Knowing them, they would say "no way", and trouble would follow. This would not be the first time for this sort of thing. Check out this link. -- Susan\nhttp://www.washtimes.com/business/20061121-095141-5862r.htm

Modern day technology. It's great!  Just deposit your money into your checking account.  You can use your ATM card to take the money out at your destination.  The cash will come out in the local currency, and the exchange rate will be extremely good!  I've done this in Japan, Philippines, Thailand, and Cambodia.  \n\nOn the back of your card you will see some symbols with words such as; INTERLINK, Plus, and/or STAR.  You need to find an ATM machine there that has one of those symbols posted on it.  These ATMS seem to be conveniently located, however, I have spent hours, sometimes days trying to track them down.  You should check with your bank, let them know the locations you'll be at and they should be able to tell you where to find compatible ATMs.  \n\nUsually when I travel, I bring a lot of US dollars with me.  As soon as I arrive at the airport, I will cash in US $200 so I will have immediate spending money. This is important for cabs and local restaurants that may not take VISA.  You may also want to locate the ATMs at the airport. It's almost guaranteed that your ATM will be there. \n\nI hope this helps!  Good luck and enjoy your trip!\n\nBon Voyage!

I had planned on driving during my vacation this summer so I could take my dogs, but I'm not so sure now. I may leave them behind and fly. Air Tran is selling one way tickets for $89. We had planned on going to Florida and Vegas but whenever I think about the gas prices, staying at home and doing home improvements and landscaping might be more satisfying. And for the person who said you were indigent is just ignorant.

That depends on the airline and your departure date. Most likely near what a full, coach class walk up fare would cost. Check with various airlines, using your specific cities, and you will be able to find out. You won't get an answer to such a specific question like that on a forum like this.

There was actually an excellent book on the subject called Shuttle Down.  The shuttle has numerous abort-to-landing sites around the world along the path of its launch, including abort-to-Kennedy, abort-to-Spain, abort-to-Australia, abort-to Edwards/White Sands (depending on which one is available), and abort-once-around, which would land them back at Kennedy.  The only emergency launch ever used was abort-to-orbit, when one of the main engines flamed out after launch on one of the Columbia missions, back in about 1984 or 1985.\n\nAnyway, this particular story concerned a polar launch from SLC-6 at Vandenberg AFB, which had been a planned alternative launch site for polar orbiting missions prior to the Challenger Disaster of 1986.  The only abort-to-landing site available is on Easter Island, and wouldn't you know it, the shuttle encounters a glitch and has to land there.  And there we run into problems.\n\nThe shuttle doesn't carry any of the paperwork required of an airplane landing on foreign soil.  The astronauts aren't carrying their passports.  The shuttle's Orbital Maneuvering Engings (the small pods on either side of the tail) contain highly explosive and highly poisonous hypergolic fuels.  \n\nBecause these engines are used to push the shuttle into orbit after launch and to bring it out of orbit prior to landing, they cannot be ignited by a spark as the main engines and Solid Rocket Boosters are.  They must use "hypergolic" chemicals, two chemicals that will burst into flame when mixed.  After a normal landing, draining those tanks is the number one priority to prevent explosions, but Easter Island doesn't have that equipment.  The astronauts would have to keep people far away from the space shuttle in order to protect them from a possible explosion or leaking of this poisonous fuel.\n\nAnd then there's the problem of getting the shuttle home.  It can be transported across the US on top of a specially modified 747 (it has no seats inside, just struts to distribute the weight of the shuttle).  It can fly across the US without refueling, but could it fly back from a remote landing site?  A normal 747 can, but I don't know how the weight of a shuttle and the modifications compare to the weight of an aircraft's normal equipment, passengers, and cargo.  I do know that a 747 is not designed for a mid-air refueling.

Get to Mexico and then drop me a line

Yes i do. Personally, i was travelling the week before sept 11. I had just returned the 9th from a cruise to the Eastern Carribean on the Carnival Paradise. I being born in the US and all passengers had to pass through immigration to get off the ship in Puerto Rico and in St. Thomas USVI too. That was very awkward because i had been to puerto rico many times b4 and had never had to pass through immigration. the port also had alot of soldiers. We would ask the crew why we had to do such and they would just tell us that it was for security reasons. Back at Miami, we had to pass through immigration again, the longest time i have ever spent at the port after disembarkement. i believe that the us had some idea that they were going to have an attack but they were afraid to tell the public. i remember hearing opinions of passengers saying that something was wrong and that it seemed like something was happening. i also remember that when i heard of the attacks on Tuesday morning i was able to join the clues to conclude that the us had some sort of inforamtion of some way.

Get there early, and bring food/beer/water.  Beverages and food at the track are expensive ($6 for a beer or burger).  Sunscreen and earplugs are good.  Wear sneakers or some comfortable shoes, you'll be doing A LOT of walking.  If your gonna buy any souvenir or merchandise at the track, prepare to pay a lot.  I suggest renting a Nextel FanView for the weekend, those things are great.  It's sometimes hard to know what's going on at the track since you can't see everything and whatnot, the FanViews make up for that.  If your going down to the pits, you can't have open toed shoes, shorts, or sleeveless shirts.  I don't know about Chicagoland, but many tracks are hard to get out of afterwards, either get to your car quick to beat the traffic or be prepared to spend sometime getting out of there (I spent 5 hours in the parking lot at Phoenix a couple of years back).  And most importantly, HAVE FUN!!

I have done time travel. Evertime I come back to California from Japan. I leave around 16:00 in Japan and get home around 09:00 . Sounds like time travel to me.

You don't go across, you go around.\n\nAnd, it depends on the type of plane.  The space shuttle can do it a couple times in a day.
