Find the tv monitors that display the flights/departure times/ gate locations. Just because your ticket gives a gate doesn't mean that they haven't changed it. So, when you get off the plane in NC find the monitors and figure out where your gate is...go over there with your ticket and off you go!

awful...especially if the guy next to you hasn't showered...not that I'm bitter. haha. Honestly, jokes aside, there's no reason to be nervous. You're safer in a jet plane than you are in your own car. Relax.

Relax! Airlines do not sell connections that put passengers in risk. I think the minimum lay over allowed is 45 minutes. What I suggest is you bring your itinerary copy with times and gates highlighted, carefully read it before your trip and before your first segment landing, and as soon as you get out at Charlotte you check your connection flight status and dep. gate at the monitors located all over the terminal. Sometimes flight attendants read a list of flight connections and gates before landing. But you should keep checking monitors at the terminal not only when arriving to Charlotte but also while you're walking to the next flight dep. gate. Also, if it is a major airline, you can set up what they call ALERTS, meaning that you can receive any change information in your cell right away. Is it very useful. But again, calm down and enjoy your new experience!

Your only problem will be if your first flight is delayed. If you think you are going to miss your flight, you can ask a stewardess while in flight for information. They are sometimes able to obtain info about flights and gate numbers prior to landing. Also, don't panic if you miss your flight. You can go talk to the airline reps at the gate and they can assist you in handling the situation (whether that is getting you on another flight or getting you hotel accommodations). Just don't be afraid to ask questions.

Most likely going directly with the airline will be the cheapest option. Don't book your ticket through orbitz.com or travelocity.com - they don't have any cheaper fares than the airline directly and they also charge a "booking fee" so it's no better than the airline's website.
2 :
Try "YTB Travel - Amazing Tours and Travel" http://www.ytbtravel.com/amazingtoursandtravel

Cheapest I see to EUG is $337 from both CLT and RDU (American and Northwest). If you were going to rent a car anyway, then fares to PDX (Portland) are about $100 cheaper (Delta). Best to book direct from the airline to avoid additional booking fees.

yes... we have them in Texas too, ya know...by the time you get here, they won't be frozen anymore....
2 :
you'll be fine, it's only liquids or gels they check for
3 :
yea..things that are sealed and packed can go through

You can take them as carry-on, but by the time you get to Houston they will be thawed and inedible. I just can't imagine why you want to take them with you?

Go onto the US Airways website for online checkin.

Hi there -- First of all, you need to find your confirmation code, which you'll find on Travelocity.com in the "My Stuff" section in the top right hand corner. It will either be called your record locator or your confirmation code, and it'll be six letters -- something like EDRTDE or something. Once you have that, go over to the US Airways website (www.usairways.com) and click on "check in" at the top towards the left hand side. You'll be prompted to enter your name and the city you're departing from, choose from "today" or "tomorrow" -- remember, you can only check in up to 24 hours in advance -- and then you'll be able to choose how you want to look up your flight. The easiest way is to pick "confirmation code" and then enter that six-letter code you got from your Travelocity page. After that, you should be taken to a new page where you can choose your seats (if you haven't already) and print your boarding pass. Then you're all checked in! If you need to check a bag when you get to the airport, head to the US Airways desk and look for a sign saying "check bags here," a kiosk, or an attendant to help you. You obviously don't need to check in again, but you should still try and get to the airport an hour in advance -- your bags need to be checked 40 minutes before departure, and lines at the security checkpoint can be long. Hope this helps! Have a safe flight. --Holly
