Will they cancel a plane ticket if

Will they cancel a plane ticket if.....?
I had to come home for family emergency and had a round trip ticket from Delta. Flew from Dubai to Columbus, Ga. I then drove to Ohio to take care of business. I'm due to fly out on the 12th from Columbus, Ga back to Dubai. I need to buy a plane ticket on the 12th from Ohio to Columbus, Ga but one of the stops is in Atlanta then finish in Columbus. I wanted to just stay at the airport in Atlanta instead of going all the way to Columbus then checking back in just to go back to Atlanta. I was told if I didn't make the first flight out of Columbus that Delta would just cancel my whole entire ticket back to Dubai because I missed that one flight. Is it true? I really think its pointless and someone on standby can probably use that seat. Thanks.

Yep. If you miss the first leg all subsequent legs are cancelled. You could try calling the airline with a sob story, but don't hold your breath waiting for a good outcome.

what no way you should see your or ring your place of purchase they will dirct you from there hense i think you should see or ring your flight airlines you will go with.

yep if you miss the first leg of your flight the whole ticket will be cancelled as the airline will think that you are a no show. You could contact the airline and explain the situation to them and see what they say but get everything in writing as even if you are told it will be ok not everything gets communicated to the airport staff and if that is the case you wont be able to fly.

Unfortunately, it is true. But you can pay the fine if you really want them to change your itinerary. I think it will cost you 150.

Should I wait to book my flight

Should I wait to book my flight?
I'm flying from Columbus, OH (CMH) to Orlando (MCO) on December 24th and returning on the 28th. I found 2 roundtrip flights with Frontier & Midwest for the same price....$225.29/person round-trip. This was quite a bit cheaper than everything else. Since I'll be traveling during the holiday season, should I wait to book or should I grab this one while it's still there? Any chance either of these airlines might go under and leave me stranded? Any advice? Thanks.

Really? Thats strange! It doesnt usualy let you book a flight until 6 months before! You've got 11 months! I think you should wait! Because plans can change and you never know what will happend! We never book a flight earlier then 2 months in advance! Just be patient and wait! It's only February! Who knows whats gonna happend till December!

The sooner the cheaper. I was gonna book a flight with southwest on a fri, but just waited till mon and it went from 99 129, but that was only 3 weeks before the flight. But you have awhile before you have to decide. Three-four months in advance should be fine and still cheap.

I would buy the tickets immediately. That is a pretty good price to pay to fly during Christmas. As for the airlines going bankrupt, anything can happen but I do not see that happening for these 2 airlines. Traffic is starting to pick up as the country slowly recovers from the recession. Therefore I think you should be fine. I would also pay for the tickets via credit card as well. It may protect you a bit more than if you paid for the tickets in cash or with a personal check.

Most air carriers release seats 330 days prior. $225.29 is not a bad price during the holiday season. If you know you will need to make that trip, I would go ahead and book it. The price may come down slightly in the next few months before it goes back up again, but I don't foresee it getting too much cheaper. Also, Frontier and Midwest are now part of Republic Airlines, an airline holding company that has many regional airlines along with Frontier and Midwest.

Without checking I would say that it's doubtful you could fly direct, so if you have to fly via New York or similar East coast international airport, you can expect the flight time to that airport plus probably 7 hours to Madrid.
2 :
There are no non-stop flights. You'll have to connect in either New York or Boston. The total travel time (including CMH-BOS/JFK-MAD) is about 11-12 hours. Have a great trip!

Traveling: What can I do

Traveling: What can I do?
My flight leaves Ontario, Ca Snday at 4:30 pm to Salt lake city, then to LAX, then to Columbus. As you can see its going to be a very long day. My plane doesn't land in Columbus until 6:10 Monday morning! What all can I take or do to keep my self busy on the plane. And unfortunately on the longest flight I sit between 2 strangers, so what can I do to not feel so awkward for the whole 4 hours?

Take a book or magazine to read, or a book of crossword puzzles. You could also take an ipod and listen to music or take a nap. Some people like to knit or crochet.

Sometimes just being on the plane, and not staying home, and knowing it will end is enough.
