If i fall asleep on a plane

If i fall asleep on a plane...?
I have a flight from Charlotte, NC to Sacramento, CA. I have a connecting flight in Las Vegas, NV. If I happen to fall asleep before I land in Vegas and don't wake up during the landing would the stewardesses wake me up? I wouldn't want to accidentally fly somewhere else. Its my first flight so I am new to this.

Hey - You'd be hard pressed to stay asleep during descent and landing, but did you somehow, the flight crew would wake you up. Good luck!
2 :
heard of a watch or phone alarm?
3 :
ofc they would , they would prolly wake u up like half an hour before landing or so.
4 :
LOL yes because they have to clean the plane you are on for the next group of people.... so you would be in their way.... also your seat is someone else's seat for the next flight... they DEF. aren't gonna give you a free flight to somewhere else just bc you are sleeping. Good luck on your first flight! I couldn't even sleep on my first flight... I was too anxious being on the plane. LOL.
5 :
Cabin crew will wake you up
6 :
Everyone must be awake during take off and landing to be aware in case of any emergencies, so yes, the will wake you.
7 :
dont worry your ears popping usueally does the trick thats what woke me up on a trip to charlotte matter of fact (I had to change planes in Dallas) plus the plane will come to stop at the gate
8 :
This is really worrying about something that could not happen. Before landing all the seats have to be in the upright position so if you are reclined they will wake you up and tell you to fix your seat. Unless you have taken lots of sleeping pills you wouldn't sleep through all the announcements, hitting the runway, people getting off the plane etc. If you were under the heavy influence of drugs and still asleep the flight attendants would come help you. they would not go off and leave somebody on a plane.
9 :
Don`t worry they will soon wake you up
10 :
No worries on that one. They won't leave you on the plane because it makes it look untidy

No........when they quote flight time it includes any stops along the way.The times are from the time you take off until you are planed to land.
2 :
Eleven hours from Dublin to Charlotte, NC is a long flight. I suppose the "technical stop" must be about 5 hours long. I don't know what a "technical stop" is, but the non-stop distance from Dublin to Charlotte is only about a 6 hour flight under normal circumstances. However, there is no non-stop flights between these two cities, so you are making a connection somewhere. You should take a good look at your itinerary and see where you are routed and what the flight times are. Regards, Dan

Changing airports in New York

Changing airports in New York?
I am looking up flights from Charlotte, NC to Rome, Italy. On the flight I'd like to buy, the details say I'll fly into La Guardia airport in New York, then switch airports to JFK. My question is, how exactly does this work? Will I have to take a taxi to JFK? or a shuttle? What about my luggage? Will I need to recheck it at JFK or will the airports take care of that for me? I'd appreciate any help!

Changing airports is a pain. You have to take a bus or a taxi, and take your luggage with you. If there are two people, just take a taxi for about $30. If only one, a shuttle is cheaper but slower. See the web site below for details. It is possible to change airports by city bus and subway, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who's not familiar with NYC. (You buy a Metrocard at the machine in the LGA main terminal, then the Q33 bus from LGA to Jackson Heights, then the outbound E subway to Sutphin Blvd, then the JFK Airtrain, using the Metrocard to pay for each.)
2 :
In regards to your first question. You do have to take a taxi from LGA to JFK. The cab fare will range anywhere from $15 to $20. In addition to that, you can take an airport express bus from LGA to JFK. The one way fare on the New York Airport Service will cost you about $12. In regards to your second question. Since you're transferring from one airport to another, you need to carry your own luggage, which means you will have to re-check it again at JFK. Thankfully, all New York City taxi cabs have trunk space, and NYAS buses have overhead racks onboard. I hope this information is very helpful. Good luck

I would rather eat glass than fly through any airport in NY. Changing flights and terminals is crazy. Changing airports? That is really a problem. Charlotte is a USAir hub and they have a direct flight from Philly to Rome. The plane they use is more comfortable than the one they use for their Dublin flight. Try to avoid NY at any cost.

Where can I get a really cheap flight under 200 from TX to NC, GA, or SC at the very last minute

Where can I get a really cheap flight under 200 from TX to NC, GA, or SC at the very last minute?
I want to go to Spartanburg, SC this weekend to see some friends and it would be an extremely last minute decision. Problem is, I only have 120 bucks. I could get a little more, but not much. Anyone know where online I can get an extremely cheap last minute ticket to Charlotte, NC, Columbia, SC, Greenville, SC, or Atlanta, GA for this weekend from Houston?

Go to priceline.com, start low and see if your price gets accepted. United flies to Charlotte, Greenville/Spartanburg, Columbia and Atlanta so you could try their website also (www.united.com).
