Southwest has a flight that stops in Tampa, but you do not change planes. You can also look for flights out of Miami and West Palm Beach; there is an inexpensive train that stops at each of the airports. It is quick and easy to use.
3 :
Try Delta or US Airways, they're both usually good with nonstop flights

Is a 35 minute layover enough time in Atlanta for a domestic flight
Is a 35 minute layover enough time in Atlanta for a domestic flight ?
Flight from Norfolk, VA to Columbus, OH with a layover of 35 minutes in Atlanta. Is it enough or is it not enough time to catch my flight ? Thanks

IMO, that is not enough time. Especially, when you consider, that time is from when the plane parks at the gate. Now you have to estimate it taking 10-15 minutes to actually get off the plane. That really leaves you only about 20 minutes. You need at least a 50 minutes in Atlanta. Marc: Just because this flight is listed in a search doesn't mean the airline feels its doable. All the search does is find all combinations from point A to Point B. And the reason it shows a price is that each leg of a flight has its own price. With a layover that short, the airlines warn you about it and that's enough for them not to hold any flight for you or get you on another flight for free.
2 :
It's definitely cutting it very close. Assuming the gates are very close to each other, and assuming that the incoming flight has a somewhat small plane that can be de-boarded quickly, it can be done. If you have a ticket or were offered a ticket with such a connection, the airline obviously thinks that it is doable. You can use http://www.flightstats.com to check the on-time performance of domestic flights to see how often this connection would actually work. Keep in mind that if the airline offered you a ticket with this layover, they are required to put you on another flight to your final destination at their cost, if you miss the connection without fault on your part. Of course, it's still your time that's lost in that case.
3 :
I'm assuming you're flying Delta if it's from ORF-ATL-CMH. Technically, it is a legal connection (ie, allowable connection time by the airline) at ATL. It is certainly do-able. However, it is tight. If there are any delays, you do run a risk of missing your connection. The other thing about ATL is that Delta operates out of practically every terminal there - A, B, C, D, E, and T. That means you could arrive in terminal A and fly out of terminal E, which is a several minute train ride. It's not ideal and I'd personally prefer a longer connection time, but it's do-able. I recently did a 30 min connection at MSP, from one end of the terminal to the other. We made it about 5 minutes before boarding began. You just need to check ahead to find out where you're landing and where you're connection departs so you can plan appropriately. As you board your first flight, you might ask the flight attendant if they can get connecting gate information. ATL though does have a lot of screens all over the place, so you can always check those if the FA can't get that info for you. Good luck!
4 :
That's tight for ATL. It could be "doable" if the gates are on the same concourse, but if they're not, I'm not sure you'd make it. If it were me, I'd: 1) Check the ontime stats of the Norfolk-ATL fight (the DOT keeps all these.) http://www.bts.gov/xml/ontimesummarystatistics/src/index.xml 2) Check the "normal" arrival and departure gates and check them against an ATL map http://www.atlanta-airport.com/Passenger/Terminal/ 3) Wear good running shoes :^) Seriously - if #1 or #2 above give you reason to worry, call the airline and rebook.
5 :
It is not enough time. You should allow yourself a minimum of 60 minutes. If you flight is 5 or 10 minutes late in (remember you could be kept on the ground waiting for a gate to open) you will miss the flight.
6 :
eeek! That would be cutting it very very close. If i remember right atlanta has diffrent terminals. Which your connecting flight may be in a diffrent one. Why are you flying into atlanta from norfolk? (random question) Thats kinda weird.

For the cheapest airfare, you pretty much have two options. Option 1 (and the one I would choose) includes connecting in DCA (Washington, D.C.) It is 308.40 and is on US Airways. I will briefly give you the itinerary here, but to find it in full-scale, it is on expedia.com (assuming that you'll set your cities and dates). CMH-DCA, US Airways Express/ Republic Airlines, 7:35 am - 8:50 am DCA-TPA, US Airways, 10:05- 12:29 am back: TPA-DCA, US Airways, 7:05- 9:10 am DCA- CMH, US Airways Express/Air Wisconsin, 10:00 am- 11:23 am If you visit expedia, you will notice that is taking Northwest, you'll be extremely pushed out of your way, into MSP (Minneapolis) for a connection (blah.) Good luck.

Flight possibly delayed due to inclement weather
Flight possibly delayed due to inclement weather?
I am taking a return flight out of London Gatwick airport on the 24th to Philadelphia on US Airways (booked through Travelocity), with a final destination of Columbus in Ohio - arrival around 7 pm. UK infrastructure is awful and everyone has to panic over a couple of inches of snow, so it's possible that my return flight to the US on Thursday might be delayed since airports have closed a couple of times over 2-3 inches of snow and there is a 20-30% chance of snow throughout the week. I have a flight from Columbus to Tampa, Florida the next day on the 25th (connection in Atlanta), via Delta Airlines (booked on Priceline) early in the morning. Is there any way of me getting compensated for delaying the flight on the 25th that might get delayed due to the poor UK infrastructure/poor weather by US Airways?

Sorry but since the airline doesn't control the weather or how well the airport handles inclement weather, no airline is going to compensate you.

Cheap flight from Las Vegas to Cincinnati or Columbus Ohio?

Well, for one it depends on the time of year you are going and what day to see how "cheap" it's going to be. Anywho, when I travel, I usually book my flights using YTB travel (I had a bad experience with cheaptickets.com). Here is the site: http://www.ytbtravel.com/jpministry click on flights only, and the date you are traveling Good luck
2 :
Man too bad you didn't ask earlier on Monday. Southwest Airlines had a huge sale to Columbus from just about everywhere they fly to, they had Ontario to Columbus for $30 each way and I think they had Vegas for the same price. Go to Southwest Airlines website anyway and check out there fares they have some cheap fares.. Download there ding fares so you can see all the sales they announce that day. They usually have some good sales.
3 :
try skybus, the new ultra low fare carrier. they are safe and cheap. also, southwest is trying to compete by offering $15 fares on these routes.
4 :
Hmm, the last answer is kinda funny, as Im 99.999% sure that skybus does not yet fly to Vegas. Southwest is prolly your best bet, but you can always check www.kayak.com, which does a really comprehensive airline fare search for you, and will let you know if you can get a better price at other airports in the geography.
