How long is a flight from Orlando, Florida to Seattle, Washington?
I was looking at "cheap flights from Orlando to Seattle" for my boyfriend's next visit, and found this schedule: Alaska Airlines: May 18th, 2010. Depart at 8:30AM, arrive 11:30AM. I have just currently flown from Seattle, Washington ON Alaska Airlines to Phoenix, Arizona and it took me 2 1/2 hours. Why would it be 30 minutes more when Arizona is 3 states away from me, and Florida is far more? Does this mean my boyfriend's flight would be overnight?

From what I checked via Southwest airlines, a trip from Orlando, FL to Seattle, WA is rough approx, 8-11 hours. Depends on the flight you take, route they take etc. Also dont forget they add the stop times and layover times as well. So the initial flight may only be 2 hours, but if the flight has you scheduled to have an hour layover at a stopping airport, then the travel time estimated will go up to 3 hours. So dont forget about layovers. Some flights go different routes than others. In a week Im going to Nashville, Tn from OKC, Oklahoma. They had different flights. One would take me to Dallas Tx, then to Nashville. The flight I chose is only 5 hours and will take me to Denver, CO then to Nashville rather than flying south to TX. Each flight had different flight times. (IE one was under 4 hours, one was 5 hours) Oklahoma isnt but 2 states away from TN yet its taking me 5 hours. Only because Ill be laid over in Denver for over an hour. Thus adding to my flight time. BTW Southwest has some pretty cheap flights. Last minute flight leaving tomorrow from Orlando to Seattle is 294 bucks online.

Kathryn - There is this thing called "time zones" that adjust the time as you go from east to west. In Phoenix Arizona the time zone is Mountain US, one hour ahead of Seattle (Pacific US) time. Orlando, Florida on the other hand is three hours ahead of Seattle. So the flight is not taking three hours it is taking 6 hours (accounting for the time change) - You really leave at 5:30 AM Seattle time and arrive at 11:30 AM Seattle time. You "gain" three hours going East to west and then lose those three hours going back to Orlando.

Hi I flew to Orlando in September from Seattle. On the way home we had a direct flight. The direct flight was six hours. We left Orlando at 6:00pm which is 3:00pm in Seattle and arrived in Seattle at 9:00pm

Can you book multiple flights on the same day
Can you book multiple flights on the same day?
Example if flying from Syracuse to Phoenix, if cheaper to book seperate like book a flight from Syracuse to JFK, then book a flight from JFK to LAX, then book a flight from LAX to Phoenix.

Yes, you can book as many flights as you wish, and plan your own trip. Just remember that if you miss a leg of your trip, the airline is not obligated to put you on another plane.
2 :
Well 9 times out of 10 its more expensive but if its cheaper go for it. Keep in mind that you will then have to do that for the way back.
3 :
I BELIEVE YOU CAN

You can, but you should heed the advice of dances-with-unicorns1955. When you book each leg separately, each carrier's obligation ends when they get you to the destination you have booked with them. You can reduce your risk in two ways. First, pay for a class of ticket that gives you flexibility to transfer it to another flight. My normal carrier offers a discount ticket that can be transferred for an extra charge. If something goes wrong, there is still an option to change. This ticket is more expensive than the absolutely cheapest discount fares, but you cannot transfer them. Second, you can take out travel insurance. If you do this, be sure to check the details. I recently travelled overseas, and covered the risk with insurance, or so I thought. I organized a side trip, and the return flight was delayed. The insurer denied the claim because I had not left a minimum of six hours between the scheduled arrival of the first flight and scheduled departure of the second flight. Clearly all this adds to the total cost, and you might find that they then exceed the cheapest single booking price!

Of course you can. Might not be the cheapest, but you may end up with a lot of problems: 1) miss a connection and the airline have absolutely NO obligation to put you on another flight, unless you pay for it 2)Luggage: you HAVE TO check your luggage EACH time (which means you have to go to baggage claims, wait for the carousel which may take 30 minutes or more easily at JFK, schlepping your luggage from another terminal to another, etc, etc.,..) 3)You HAVE TO go thru security at each airport Is it worth it???? Don't think so !!!

Can I bring a school backpack and a duffle bag onto a us airways flight
Can I bring a school backpack and a duffle bag onto a us airways flight?
I don't want to check anything if I can avoid it. The duffle bag is ruffly 10x10x21 inches and the backpack is 17x13x11 inches. I'm flying from Phoenix to Charlotte and then from Charlotte to Guatemala City. I'm not sure if it matters if it's an international flight. Thanks

one carry on only combine the two
2 :
that should be fine. i've seen people with more than that on us airways flights
3 :
I've done this before without any problems (on an international flight, too). Most airlines let you have a carry-on allowance (your duffel) as well as one other thing (backpack, purse, laptop bag, briefcase, etc). You should be fine. Its better to carry it all on...checking bags just leads to problems.
4 :
usually they will allow you one carry on size bag and a purse, computer, briefcase, or small tote so probably but check the airlines website or call them to be sure.
5 :
You can carry on 1 bag and 1 personal item ... your duffel bag is your carry on & the backpack is your personal item. Personal items include briefcases, purses, backpacks (school size, NOT hiking!), tote bags, cosmetic bags. When I travel, I take on a 22" roller bag and a totebag that holds my purse, cosmetics, magazines, & dvd player.
6 :
You should be fine to do that...unless you get an incredibly anal flight attendant.
