AIRLINE QUESTION?!.............?
Hi, we have family flying in from Chicago now. (You know the mess)!! Well the flight has been delayed from 5:10 to 6:13..not important They are flying to Memphis then connecting there on to final destination here. They would have missed the flight in Memphis, however that flight has been delayed in Denver. It is not leaving until 6:18Central. It will get in Memphis at 8:30. The flight from Memphis was originally supposed to leave at 7:55, but with the delay from Denver, it SHOULD be later... but it is saying on Northwest online that that flight isnt delayed... is it just lagging or can they get another plane to take the place of the plane from Denver?? *SORRY that was confusing... Okay they are about to leave from Chicago in route to Memphis. From Memphis they are gonig in route to final destination...(Huntsville) Okay... the plane that is from Memphis to Huntsville is coming from Denver, CO. The flight leaving from Denver to Memphis has been delayed and will be getting in Memphis at 8:30. The flight from Memphis to Huntsville was orginally set for 7:55 and so my family would miss it coming from Chicago because their flight gets in about 8:15-8:30. *Since the plane is delayed leaving from Denver, it SHOULD be delayed leaving from Memphis to Huntsville. If it is to be delayed because the plane will not get to Memphis on scheduled arrival time, my family COULD make the flight. HOWEVER, on NWA.com, it says that the flight from Memphis to Huntsville IS NOT delayed but has the same flight number. Could it be that they are getting another plane to take the Denver plane's place?!?

They may be able to get another flight to take the place of that one in Denver. If your family missed that connecting flight in Denver though, chances are they are still there, and will have to wait for another that has room for them. Is the final destination Memphis? What you wrote is a little confusing.

This is very commonly the case. Bad weather affects most routes. So a delay will most probably delay other flights as well. Kind of a domino effect. I don't think it's probable that the airline will find a replacement aircraft and crew just because it's late from Denver. It will be announced as late in Memphis.

If the plane from Denver to Memphis is the same plane that will your family to Huntsville, then the flight from Memphis will be delayed only because they're using the same plane. Otherwise, I doubt if they'll bring another plane in to fly from Memphis to Huntsville, as I doubt that demand for that route is very high and most people flying to Memphis from Denver will probably either transfer to other destinations or stay in Memphis. Only Northwest can tell you for sure, you might have to wait awhile to find out what the new schedule is or perhaps you can call your family if they have a cell phone and see what they know.

As long as your layover is still within the US you won't have to. But lots of times when you're returning to the US and you have a layover, you have to go through immigration and pick up your luggage and recheck it before continuing to your connecting flight, but lots of times when you're coming from the Caribbean, depending on which part of the Caribbean, they do all the immigration stuff before, so you won't have to do it during your layover.

Which airline are you flying on from Des Moines/Memphis/Caribbean on? I would assume Northwest since Memphis one of their hub cities. If you are staying on the same airline, then they will check your bag through all the way to your final destination in the Caribbean. When you are on your layover in Memphis, you will just go to the international side of the airport and find your gate and wait to leave Memphis. But it isn't always so simple. For instance, if you are flying on two different airlines, you need to make sure the airlines are in a code share agreement. A code share means that multiple airlines sell tickets on each other to give the traveler the most flexibility. If the airlines are in a codeshare, then they transfer your bags for you as well and they are able to check them through all the way to your final destination. There are some instances when the airlines are not in code shares. Such an instance would be **Example** flying on Southwest Airlines from New Orleans to Orlando and then from Orlando to Cancun on JetBlue. Those airlines do not have any agreements with each other. In this instance, you would have to claim your bags in Orlando, and then recheck them in with JetBlue to CUN. The same thing would happen when the passenger would fly back. Why do people do this? Well sometimes going on different airlines can save you a lot of money, but it also costs you a lot of time. Again, if you are on one airline, then you'll just check in your bags one time and pick them up in your final destination. But if you know you're on two different carriers, just ask the reservation agent when you check-in if your bags are going to be checked in all the way to the Caribbean. Have a safe flight!

If you are just making a connection in Memphis, the agent in Des Moines will check your luggage through to your Caribbean destination. Regards, Dan PS Don't use the term "layover" unless you are going to be in a city for a while-days.

Help! I need to know who sings this song and what it is called!?
Ok it is a country song. It goes: On the 3 hour flight from Memphis to L.A. I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade They where laughing at my boots and my jeans skip-skip-skip-skip I'm from the front pew of the wooden wide church where the court house clock still don't work where a man's word means everything we're moms and dads we're high school flanks where the childrens grand mothers make names ya it may not sound like much but it's where i'm from
