Have you ever seen anyone get airsick on a plane?
I'm flying by myself a week from today for the first time, I'm 16 years old, and I'm not concerned about ANYTHING at all except that someone next to me or near me will get airsick. Is airsickness common? I've never seen anyone experience it when I've flown with my family before, but I'm still concerned that someone will. I'm flying from JFK to Dallas/Fort Worth, how long is that flight? Thanks! Your guys's answers have really helped ease my anxiety a lot.

Hi, If you've flown with your parents, you should be fine. Just bring a book, your iPod, Walkman, etc, focus on the music and the book, bring a sketch pad, draw, write to home on the plane. If you see someone being "airsick" take sips of your drink, and if you feel queasy, go to the bathroom and let it out. Also, eat before being on the plane, it's horrible to throw up on an empty stomach. I don't really think it's common... But I hope I helped, good luck on the flight!! :) Love, Massie xx <3 PS, drink ginger ale!!

I have over a million miles in my frequent flyer account and have only seen people get airsick on a flight once and that was a special circumstance. It was on a very small plane that couldn't climb over the storm. We hit very heavy turbulence whice they were serving lunch and over half the people on the plane got sick. I almost did myself; not so much from the turbulence as seeing everyone else getting sick. However, this is extremely rare you shouldn't have any problem at all - most flights are very smooth.

what is the cheapesst major city to fly to from dallas fort worth
what is the cheapesst major city to fly to from dallas fort worth?
I want to get away for a mini vacation sometime soon. I will be flying out of DFW and really don't care so much where I go, but more how much it costs to go somewhere-flight and hotel. I also need advice on the cost of hotels in major cities. I am traveling alone and over 50. I prefer to go somewhere near an ocean, but would like to have suggestions about other interesting places. I've been looking at San Francisco...but it seems expensive. If I can't afford anything that interesting, I'll go Anywhere. So, where can I fly to and stay that is the most interesting and Cheapest!? forgot to mention places that I've already been - Atlanta, Chicago, New Orleans, Houston, San Antonio, Myrtle Beach, Smokey Mountains (and all around Tenn) (the oil spill in the gulf is a concern)

If my next flight is in the same terminal, do I have to go get my....?
Next ticket, wait in line again, go get my bags, stand in security again, wait in line, have them check my bags again? If it's in the same terminal, how about a different terminal? How about if the other terminal is accessible with out going through security again? If it helps, I will be flying into Dallas Fort Worth (DFW). And my next plane takes off 45 minutes later. It is American airlines Or can I mosey on over, and go from there?

Your luggage will be checked through all the way to your destination. You do not have to collect it and re-check it. You should also be given a boarding pass for your second flight when you check in for the first. So at Dallas all you have to do is find out from what gate your second flight leaves and get yourself there.
2 :
If you have 45 minutes DO NOT leave the secure area as you wil lhave to be rescreened, find your new gate, and stay close enough to hear the boarding announcements. It is a big airport, no moseying, if you want to shop, do it near your new gate
3 :
yep, check your bags through. If connecting flight is out of a different terminal (quite possible, as AA is in 4 out of the 5), you can take the little skytrain without exiting security.

What to do during a long layover at Dallas Fort Worth with luggage
What to do during a long layover at Dallas Fort Worth with luggage?
I have an 8 hour layover in Dallas Fort Worth Airport next month. Because I will be flying in from an international location, and flying to another international location, I predict I'll have about 5 hours free. I've looked into renting a car, but for some reason on the day I'll be there, even the rates to rent an economy car, are at the very least $70 and on average $120. I've checked multiple sites already! This is regardless of whether I have it for one day or overnight. Also, because the airline I'm flying (British Airways) only has one flight from Dallas per day, I'll probably be lucky if the check in counter is open when I arrive in Dallas. Chances are I'll probably have to tote my suitcase around, unless I can find someplace to store it for a few hours. What would you recommend somebody toting their luggage with an 8 hour layover, and car rental prices being very high, do? Thanks all!

There should be some sort of shuttle bus you can take to the Grapevine Mills Mall (about 5 min away) that will be a lot cheaper than a rental car. You won't have too much of a problem killing 5 hours out there and it's a neat area. Otherwise, there are plenty of restaurants/bars to kill time eating and drinking (which is what I do...)
2 :
If you can store or check your luggage at the airport, catch the free shuttle over to the Sheraton or the Westin (both are Starwood Hotels). You can have a nice relaxing meal in the restaurant or a drink in the bar. Talk to people...then catch the shuttle back. An inexpensive venture away from the airport.

DFW airport has alot of nice restaurants and internet access with or without a computer..there is also a hotel in the airport and you don't have to rent a car to go there and enjoy there restaurant and bar..also if you do rent a car.. there are nice eating place on 114 which is on the outside of the north entrance of the airport. you can also go to grapevine mills mall which is very famous . if you rent a car you can leave your luggage in the car.. if you don't and you choose to stay in the airport you just chill in strabucks or eat at a restaurant.. there is no where to store your luggage. the prices of the car are high because you aren't a resident of the area and if you are not a U.S. citizen that also is a factor

Buy a one day pass to a lounge, you can leave your luggage there, eat, rest, watch t.v., relax. You really don't have enough time to explore outside the airport.

Ok, if i'm understanding this correctly, this is a multi-airline trip under ONE ticket, and not just separate routes. First, the airline will rarely lose your luggage when switching airlines because in all actually, the other airline is just another gate. And the link is expired
2 :
You'll most likely be fine, but the more times your luggage is transferred, the more likely it is to be lost or delayed. The chances are very small that your luggage will be lost, but more likely than if you had just one non-stop flight.
