i want to travel from newark, nj to columbus, oh. Pls help.?
Continental airways flies between these 2 places. I also know that the flight is usually empty. I am assuming that airline company would prefer to sell tickets for cheap, rather than the flight going empty. HOW can i get these cheap tickets at the last mintue? Pls. help. Also, do u any bus that goes here, apart from greyhound. Thanks. Ur reply is appreciated.

It looks like Greyhound is the only bus company covering this route. Try going to the Continental website for details about last-minute air fares.

Can I skip my first flight and just get on the connecting flight instead
Can I skip my first flight and just get on the connecting flight instead?
I was looking at purchasing a plane ticket from Columbus, OH to Portland, OR on Delta. There is a connecting flight in Cincinnati (CVG) - where I live. I would be driving to Columbus to fly back to Cincinnati to get on the plane to Portland. Would I be able to just skip the first flight and get on the connector to save myself the drive? CVG is the MOST expensive airport to fly out of in the entire US. Including Alaska & Hawaii. It's ridiculous. Avg. ticket price is over $500. It's half as much to fly out of CMH.

The Short answer is "NO"! The more complicated answer is, maybe, but it's a big gamble. When a passenger "no shows" an originating flight, the airline assumes the passenger is not traveling that itinerary and cancels ALL down-line flights (including the return flights if it was the outbound originating flight you didn't fly on). This is usually done automatically by the computer reservations system. Once in a while, if you show up for the connecting flight, you MIGHT be able to sweet talk the gate agent (assuming they even let you through security at the airport) into letting you on the flight. This is getting harder to do, as carriers tighten up the rules. I don't recommend chancing it. (I'm a retired Delta reservations employee, BTW).

I think you should be able to just book the flight Cincinnati to Portland without booking the other flight. At least my understanding of connecting flights is that they're actually separate flights, but you just book them together for convenience.

4 hours driving. At least, that's what mapquest says but sometimes they're directions are really weird so it could be a little more or less than that. And I'm not sure about direct flights, I searched www.nwa.com and they came up with flight listings, but then I checked a box on the search bar that said "non-stop only" and they said there was nothing available. I would double-check on that though. Good luck!

connecting flights & luggage transfer
connecting flights & luggage transfer?
When i was flying from ohio to Milan i only checked my bags once, on the way back i had to retrieve my bag at the chicago air port and recheck it. The second time i flew to Milan i did not have to recheck it. Now i am soon leaving to go to Columbus, Ohio-connecting flight in frankfurt, Germany and Philadelphia. Will i have to retrieve my luggage and re-check it at either of these places like i did in chicago? (i was traveling with another person these previous flights so i didnt have to worry about it, now i am all alone and my biggest fear will be losing my luggage)

You have to retrieve your luggage in US airports because of security measures after 9/11. In European airports this is not the case. But if you are still worried, just double-check with the check-in agent.
2 :
When you are checking in, ask the ticket agent in your original departure city if your bags are being checked in all the way through to your final destination. You'll probably be on two different airlines, but if those airlines are in codeshares (partnerships), then your bags can be checked through all the way to your final destination. However, the time you had to claim your bags in Chicago, you were on a non-codeshare airline reservation. That just means that the airlines can only check your bags as far as their codeshare goes and if you are continuing on, then you have to recheck your bags in. So just make sure you ask them where your bags are being tagged to. Also, make sure they give you boarding passes for all segments of your trip. If they don't give you all of your boarding passes, that will be another clue that you are going to be on an different airline and you may have to claim your bags somewhere during your trip. But asking the first checkin agent will answer all of these questions!

Yes. You will not need to recheck the bags from Columbus to Philadelphia, or from Philadelphia to Frankfurt. But, if you have a connecting flight in Frankfurt, you will need to recheck your bags.
