The best advice it to give yourself extra time. Call your airline and see what their suggested arrival time is (international is usually two hours before departure for example). A great resource is http://waittime.tsa.dhs.gov/index.html it will tell you what the average wait time is to get through airport security at all U.S. airports by day and time. I always add an extra hour, just in case. I'd rather spend an extra hour at an airport than risk missing a flight because of traffic or other delays.

Columbus airport isn't that big. Just drive to the airport and follow the signs for the rental car return, and you'll be golden.

do you have any funny baseball related stories
do you have any funny baseball related stories?
so i went to yankee stadium by myself last may to see the yankees play the red sox. i had my jeter jersey shirt and yankees cap on during the flights back. on my 2nd flight from columbus ohio to st louis i flew with southwest where you have to pick you seats when you get in the plane. anyways, i chose a seat and some big guy says. " i dont think you should sit here..." i was like, "why not?" the man gets up and says "cause i'm a red sox fan." some man sat in between us and i was kinda freaked out that the red sox fan was going to murder me lol. it had to have been a sight seeing a red sox fan and a yankees fan seperated by a single person..

Yeah, I follow a local American Legion team and one year the manager said to an overweight umpire on a missed call, "I bet you wouldn't have missed it if it was a hamburger..."

i remember going to the old 3 rivers stadium in 91 or maybe 92', me and my cousin were younger at the time....me maybe 16 or 17 and my cousin maybe 14 and i pissed pirates reliever stan belinda off so bad he threw a cup of gatorade at me. i just laughed and told him he threw it about as hard as he throws a baseball. TRUE STORY !

The year is 1956. Bob Feller is pitching his last season for the Cleveland Indians. He is on the mound at Yankee Stadium facing the Yankees. Moose Skowron is at the plate. Feller rears back and throws three pieces of pure heat at the plate. Skowron never moves his bat and the ump calls him out on strikes. As Skowron leaves the batter's box he turns and says something to the ump. The ump replies and Skowron says something more as he heads for the dugout. Years later I found out what was said from Clete Boyer when he was a coach with the Oakland As: Skowron: Where was that last pitch? Ump: Just below the letters and in the zone. Skowron: It sounded kind of high.

When I was 12, I went to a Mariners vs Royals game in KC. We got there pretty early and the Royals were still taking batting practice. I got to my seat and set my jacket and glove down and took a quick trip to the bathroom. When I got back to my seat there was an older guy sitting in the seat directly behind me and he was holding a baseball. After I sat back down he taps me on the shoulder and we start talking: Him: "This your seat" Me: "yeah" Him: "while you were gone, George Brett was taking batting practice and hit this ball and it landed in your seat." Me: "no way" Him: "yep... and since you weren't sitting in your seat, I got it." This man preceded to tease me with the ball damn near the entire game. In the 7th inning a my dad called the stadium usher over and got the guy thrown out because he kept teasing me with the ball. at the end of the game the usher had me and my dad follow him over to the Royals dugout and he got George Brett to sign a ball for us. I got to hold that ball for the entire 90 minute drive home. Once we got home, my dad took the ball and I haven't touched it since. it's currently in a display case in my dad's house. so i didn't actually get either ball... but it was awesome to see that jerk getting escorted out of the stadium. and getting to shake George's hand.

since you are a teen your Mom should contact your relatives and have one or more of them pick you up at the airport , if they send a driver to pick you up this person should have a card board large enough for you to see with your name printed on it , it all depends how far these people live from the airport ,they should be the ones responsible for you , don't start wondering about on your own . Your travel agent should also be the one to make sure that your trip will be smooth and could make arrangements from the UK with a Taxi or bus company ,I have seen many times the drivers holding a sign with the person's name on it I find it safe and reassuring .

The closest airport with a nonstop flight from the UK is Detroit, Michigan which is about 200 miles north of Columbus or about a 3.5 hr trip by road. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic don't fly to Detroit the only airline that does is Delta, one flight a day. It leaves London Heathrow (LHR) at 9:10am and arrives Detroit at 1:30pm, returning the flight leaves Detroit at 6:50pm and arrives LHR at 7:40am (next morning. You can book tickets thru their website, go to: http://www.delta.com

Lisa is absolutely correct, but I would think that a 15 year old could easily change planes in Detroit to catch a flight to Columbus. All you have to do once you exit the UK to Detroit flight is go to the nearest Departure Board (a huge TV screen listing all the inbound and outbound flight cities flight nos., times and gate nos.) There are many departure boards in the airport. Once you get the gate no., simply follow the million signs to your gate. Just don't book a real short layover, say, less than 90 minutes, to be safe. If you have too short of a layover and your UK-Detroit flight is late, you may not have enough time to catch your Columbus flight. Worst case, you may have a 30 minute walk to the gate, but you don;t want to cut it that close. You can also get a map of the Detroit airport on line.

No. Orbitz is lying to you. Its a scam! they just want your money!

domestic travel should NOT be above 1,000 dollars, I don't know what that person is talking about, I book with orbitz all the time. it's cheaper to fly out of Amarillo if you want to make the drive, 400 sounds about right it depends on when you travel
