Where would the arrest me, on a connecting flight? (if at all)?
I already asked a similar question but no one replied , so here it is again. Well ill be going from Mx city to Dallas, Tx.. (or Mexico to houston, then to dallas) i have a warrant for driving with a suspended lic. I was on deferred probation. this was 5 years ago, but I have a lawyer in Tx and will be going back to fix my problems. do they arrest u for "minor" things like that ? will it even show up? If they do arrest me, would it be in Houston? or would they wait for my connecting flight to Dallas? I would really love to hear from someone who knows or has been through something like this or knows about it, not just someone thats going to brand me a criminal and give negative feedback. thanks! @Nutty Thanks for the reply, i would also hope the have better things to do. But I dont think i would risk giving a fake name....I just wish there was more solid info out there. But keep in mind i was on probation at that time and left all that un-dealt with....i guess in the end its a risk,...i do exspect to go to jail a day or two to start the process i just dont want to get arrested at the airport...>(

NO, they will not have anybody waiting for you when you get off the plane, i would hope the cops would have better $hit to do, plus driving without a license is a minor violation only put into law to create more revenue, your going to be fine, nobody will arrest you, unless you get pulled over going home from the airport and even then all you have to do is tell them you dont have an id and give them a fake name.

What happens if a flight is cancelled and you're traveling with a kid
What happens if a flight is cancelled and you're traveling with a kid?
We're flying from Chicago (with connecting flights) to Dallas right after Christmas (26th). Weather's been bad lately and flight cancellations/delays aren't impossible to happen. If this is my case, and the only NEXT AVAILABLE flight they give us is nothing but to stay overnight, Will they pay for our hotel stay?? If its a discount voucher - how much discount would that be? They are not gonna let us sleep in the airport, are they??? I mean, I can tolerate that but my son?? I dont think so. Basically my question is, will they be nicer since I'm traveling with a kid?

The general answer is, No they won't.
2 :
For weather-related cancellations, you are totally on your own. Not only would you be stuck overnight but the next available flight may very well be at the end of day 2 or even day 3! Nobody can make you sleep in the airport; you can always go get a hotel room.
3 :
Right now there are many people with kids sleeping in airports cause their flight got canceled due to bad weather. Some of these people with kids have spent 3 nights in the airport. It doesn't make any difference if you have kids with you or not. And they will not pay for a hotel or anything - legally they do not have to - besides that there is nothing empty right now round any of the major airports. You are going to be taking your chances. Good luck to you with this.
4 :
I doubt they will be nicer. If they get caught being nice to you they'd have to be nice to everyone or get screamed at by irate travelers. Also when its weather related flight problems the employees aren't usually even allowed/authorized to hand out vouchers for anything (except occasionally food in extreme circumstances). Airlines aren't responsible for weather related flight disruptions. You will have to sleep in the airport or find your own hotel.

I was traveling from LA to Vancouver yesterday on the 22nd via Las Vegas. My connecting flight to Vancouver was canceled and they specifically pointed out that they are not responsible for assisting you with anything if the delay is from weather. And what annoys me was that Vancouver airport re-opened a half hour before the rescheduled deaparture time that was posted just before the cancellation. And the nearest hotel with rooms was a $45.00 cab ride away and the next available flight was not until Christmas day. And the 888 number I was given to call, always rang busy. I managed to get a flight back to LA, my Christmas trip ruined and my 90 year old mother spending Christmas Day with my ex. As for having a kid with you, that is not their fault. So while they may show some sympathy, that is all you are going to get. And then you will be in standby hell.
6 :
The airlines are not responsible for acts of god (this includes weather). If your flight is canceled until the next morning due to weather, they will not pay for any lodging/billeting. HOWEVER, many airlines/airports do have arrangements with nearby hotels. Ask if they have a distressed passenger rate at any local hotels; usually this is fairly reasonable (and in most cases, the hotel will have a shuttle to/from the airport).

If your flight has a connect flight in another state can you get off and leave from that state or have to fly
If your flight has a connect flight in another state can you get off and leave from that state or have to fly?
Heres my example. I want to fly from dallas tx to atlanta ga. My flight leaves dallas and goes to charlotte north carolina and i change planes there and then fly to atlanta ga. Im going to upstate sc so can i just get off in charlotte and can they give me my luggage and let me just leave from there so my family can pick me up at charlotte airport or do i have to get on the 2nd plane and fly to atlanta georgia. I will have 2 carry ons and one checked in bag. so i wander if they will off load my checked in luggage and let me get off in charlotte. (its alot cheaper to fly to atl ga then directly to charlotte? go figure)

you can ask them to ship you your luggage from that place to where you want to get off depending on your airline. and if your checked bag is small enough then you can just pay for a third carry-on (or two) and ya. or if you can't do any of those then you could always ship your checked bag from your house to where your family is (w/ usps ups) and then only bring your carryons onto the plane (genius =D)
2 :
you have to go altanta your luggage will for sure aslo if you dont show up for your connecting flight the ailrine May contact the police to start looking for you thinking you are lost (in fact i have heard that in some cases they have even closed down the airport lookimg for someone who (if pardon the expresiion jumped ship midstream) also if you have any return resveations you can kiss those reservations bye bye! eeven if you have tickets also if the airline gets wind of your plan they have ever right to charge the current fare DFW to CLT not a good idea
3 :
Sure, you can get off, but your luggage won't.
4 :
Bad idea all around. If you have a round trip ticket, and you do not board the connecting flight from Charlotte to Atlanta, then the airline will cancel the return portion of your reservation - and you will not get any kind of refund or credit for the cost of that flight segment. You would be better off changing your flight to go only from Dallas to Charlotte.
5 :
It might be as the Traffic to atlanta is less than to charlotte. If u request them kindly not to do a through check in of the luggage then it is possible,but u might be breaking a rule.I they do that then u can simply collect ur luggage and head off.

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.
