It would be easier to go to expedia.com and just make up a departure date. That would give you almost exact times.

It's been a while since I've done that flight, but it's around 2 to 2-1/2 hrs best I remember.
4 :
2-3 hours. I have been on that flight before.

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

that should be fine. i've seen people with more than that on us airways flights

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.

Ah, you have found the issue of "Supply and Demand" haven't you! Look it up, you are in school! How many people fly from Jacksonville to Port Charlotte? Not too many on any given day. Thus tickets are high. If there were demand, there would be more flights. Most smaller US cities have the same issue. You can go from JAX to MIA for under 250. (In fact close checks even show under 200 in some cases.) Why not learn to fly, you can make that trip very easy in a C172 or Piper Warrior/Cherokee etc! Probably would cost you more than a ticket but you could travel when you wanted.

As the previous responder indicates, it's a matter of mass market vs. niche market. The more traffic on a given route, the larger the planes the airline can use. The larger the plane, the less the overhead per passenger and the cheaper the fare they can charge and still make a profit. On top of that, the shorter the route, the higher the overhead...the consumption of fuel is heaviest by far during takeoff and landing and fuel cost is a BIG part of air fares these days. With this being basically an up-and-down hop, little time is spent cruising at altitude where fuel efficiency is highest.
3 :
Hint. Check out the local General Aviation Airports. On a week-end, some guy who just wants to fly some cross country hours might 'hop you over'. for the gas money. (It's legal for private pilots to share flight expenses.)

Do any airlines fly direct from London to Charlotte NC? And Dallas or Chicago to Charlotte
Do any airlines fly direct from London to Charlotte NC? And Dallas or Chicago to Charlotte?
I have only been able to find indirect connecting at either Dallas or Chicago, which makes the journey so long! Or can anyone tell me where they suggest i fly to (London to Dallas, Dallas to Charlotte or London to Chicago, Chicago to Charlotte) which would have the shortest flight time? Thanks

Use orbitz and sort by flight time.... you can also specify maximum number of stops
2 :
US Airways Operates LGW-Raleigh Durham Airport. So you can try this. London Gatwick - Raleigh Durham - Charlotte! Hope this helps!
3 :
Both US Air and BMI fly non -stop from London's Gatwick airport to Charlotte, NC. It takes 7hr 45 min east-bound and 9hr 45 min west-bound due to winds. Regards, Dan PS When you are looking for service between cities that may have more than one airport, use the city code when looking for flights rather than an airport code. For London, use "LON" for London rather than using "LHR" for Heathrow.

US Airways flies nonstop from Charlotte to London's Gatwick Airport. BMI lists nonstop flights between Charlotte and Gatwick, but this is really a code-share flight. If you book it, they will put you on the US Airways flight. They don't operate their own aircraft on this route.
