Can someone help me understand my flight itinerary please?
I've never flown before first of all, and I don't understand what this says!!! Okay, here's the info: US Airways (operated by US Express/PSA Airlines) Flight 2250 1h 27m , 348mi From Cincinnati - N Kentucky Intl (CVG) Cincinnati, OH Departs: 3:40 P.M. To Charlotte - Douglas Intl (CLT) Charlotte, NC Arrives: 5:07 P.M. Aircraft Canadair Regional Jet 700 (Jet) Economy/Coach Class ________________________________________ US Airways Flight 1687 2h 1m , 622mi From Charlotte - Douglas Intl (CLT) Charlotte, NC Departs: 8:15 P.M. To Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood Intl (FLL) Fort Lauderdale, FL Arrives: 10:16 P.M. Aircraft Boeing 737-400 (Jet) Economy/Coach Class But then it says check in time is 3:40. So, how will that work? Check-In: Monday, August 24, 2009-03:00 PM Check-Out: Wednesday, August 26, 2009-12:00 PM thanks sorry, i meant to say check in time is for 3:00, not 3:40, but it still makes no sense why the check in time is only minutes after the first flight!

Check in time should be 1.40PM at least 2 hours prior to flight. You are flying US Airways flight 2250. It will be a flight of 1hour and 27 minutes from Cincinnati Oh (actually airport is in Kentucky-go figure) and it departs at 3:40pm to Charlotte NC. The second leg of the trip is On US Airways flt 1687 2 hours 1 minutes from Charlotte NC to Fort Lauderdale FL and arrives at 10:16PM. Have a nice flight. Wear you seat belt whenever you are seated encase of bumpy ride.

You'll fly from Cincinnati to Charlotte, leaving OH at 340, and arriving in Charlotte at 507. Then you'll leave Charlotte on an 815 pm flight to Florida. Plan on eating dinner and spending some time in the airport while you wait for the flight. Get to the gate an hour to 45 minutes before the flight is scheduled to leave. You'll arrive in Florida at 1016, then you can head to your hotel and check in. I don't know what you mean about the check-in time of 340. Arrive at the airport 2 hours before your flight in Ohio. Make sure the hotel knows you'll be a "late arrival" so they don't give your room to someone else. Keep all your travel documents and ID handy, don't lose your boarding pass once you get it. Don't pack liquids or lighters/matches or anything sharp in your carry on or it will be confiscated at security. Put things like tweezers and nailclippers in your checked luggage. You'll be able to buy water once you pass through security. Wear comfortable shoes that you can slip off easily when you go through security. Make sure you bring your iPod and some books and magazines. When in doubt, ask, everyone is there to help you find your flight and make it a safe and comfortable experience.

Flight 2250 is the flight number. It's a way to help you find the gate number you will be boarding at, to check on the schedule of the flight and any other info you might need to find. - Same applies for returning flight 1687. Your first flight is going to be in the air for about 1 hour and 27 minutes once you take off from OH at 3:40 pm. Some flights take a few minutes longer or even a few minutes less depending on wind currents. Your flight home will take off at 8:15 pm from NC and will be in the air for about 2 hours and 1 minute. Most airports now a days require you to be at the airport 2 hours before your flight takes off. This allows you time to get through security without having to rush to get to you gate. So for your first flight you should be there by 1:40 pm. When it says Canadair Regional Jet 700 and Boeing 737-400 these are just the types of planes you will be on. They give the information so people can look at the plane before they fly. But you don't have to. Economy/Coach Class is just what it says. You will be flying in coach not Business or First Class. It's the most inexpensive seats but they're also the smallest with the least amount of leg room. Enjoy your first flight and have a safe one.

The fact that you have a check-in time and a check-out time tells me that you have a hotel reservation. 3 PM is the earliest that the hotel promises your room will be ready. You won't be there then, so you don't care. The check-out time of 12 PM (there actually is no such thing but we know they mean noon) is the time you must have checked out to avoid being charged for anoher day. Whether that affects you or not I have no idea, because you didn't give your return flight information.
