Is 43 minutes enough time to connect to a different flight in Detroit (DTW)

Is 43 minutes enough time to connect to a different flight in Detroit (DTW)?
So I'm flying from Omaha to Berlin. From OmahaI take a Delta (operated by ASA) flight to Detroit. From there I have just 43 minutes to catch an Air France flight to Paris. From Paris to Berlin, etc. Is this enough time to connect? It feels like too little time for an international flight connection. Also on the way back, I fly from my connection in JFK to Minneapolis on Delta mainline. In Minneapolis I have 48 minutes to connect to my Delta (mainline again) flight to Omaha. Is this enough time to connect in MSP?

You should be fine, I would ask an employee or two from Delta just to make sure (you may have a problem if your flight from Omaha to Delta is delayed though).
2 :
not enough time think about how long it takes you to get bag in a baggage claim
3 :
That should be plenty of time for a connecting flight. All of your check-in bags should be transferred through the airlines and all you will have to worry about is you and your carry-on. Keep your boarding passes accessible and know what your next flight # is so you can find your terminal with no trouble. Always ask an attendant if you aren't sure. The only time you might run into trouble is if your flight is delayed for any reason. Then the airline will do the best they can to get you on the next connecting flight to your destination.

Yes. 43 minutes is sufficient since your bags will be checked through to Paris. After arriving in Detroit, just go to your next gate. 48 minutes in MSP is fine too. Have a great trip!

When you taxi, you barely feel the plane move at all. At this point the cabin crew will tell you all you need to know about what to do in case of emergencies and such. They will do a demonstration or show a video of where the exits are, how to fasten your seatbelt, when portable electronics can and can't be used, etc. The captain will come on and give a little speech about the flight and what to expect - something about how long it will take until you take-off, what to expect weather wise in your destination city, and how long the flight should take. When the plane prepares for liftoff, it starts to go really fast down the runway, and then within 45 seconds you are up in the air. Things may seem a little wobbly at first, but that's just because of moving through the different altitudes. Your ears will pop as you climb through the altitudes also. The best ways are to alleviate the pressure are to: *chew gum *drink something *suck on a hard candy or mints *yawn *pinch the nostrils shut, take a deep breath in through the mouth, then force the air into the back of the nose as if trying to blow your nose *Another trick that used mainly on babies and small children, but can be used on anyone, is to gently but with some pressure, rub your neck repeatedly from the chin to the base of the neck. This will cause a swallowing motion that will relieve pressure build-up in the ears. Once you are in the air, things will feel smooth. You will hear the humm of the engines, but that's normal, nothing to worry about. I actually find it relaxing. If there is turbulence, you might feel the plane wobble a little bit (usually up and down) but remember, planes are designed to withstand this, so take a deep breath and try not to think about it. It might give you a few butterflies in your stomach though. After a few minutes, you will hear a ding. This is the captain letting the flight attendants know that the plane has reached 10,000 feet. At this point, the rate of ascent will decrease. You will also get an announcement that it's OK to use portable electronic devices at this time. When you are approaching landing, your ears will pop as you descend through the altitudes (remember: chewing gum, drinking something, swallowing, yawning, etc will alleviate the pressure). You will feel the plane slow down and the cabin crew will prepare you for landing. As you get close to your destination, the captain will come back on and tell you how much longer until you land, and what the weather is like. When the plane touches down it kind of feels like a short jolt, and then you To entertain yourself: - Bring along a few book, magazines, puzzles (such as crosswords or Sodoku if you like those). - Bring along an iPod, MP3 player, or CD player to listen to music. - A laptop is good to have as you can play games on it, connect to the internet, and get any work done that you may have. (You have to have a WIFI card in your laptop and the airline will charge you to connect to the internet) or watch DVDs. - Try talking to the people next to you. Sometime you will meet some really interesting people, and forge friendships.

On the outbound, it'll be tight, but if DL allowed you to buy the ticket this way then it should be fine. Every airline has minimum connection times that take into account what airlines you are connecting between, and whether your flights are domestic or international. I can't decipher the times. 48 minutes on the return is legal. Minimum connection time is 30 minutes.
7 :
Nope. Sorry. Detroit is a good size airport, and your baggage has to be transferred, you have to go through security again, possibly customs, and what if your flight from Omaha is delayed? Then you'll most definitely miss your flight.

You poor hapless soul. I see $569 with taxes. But it is a 2-stop. For 1-stop, cheapest I see is $623 incl taxes. Try searching again.

Use FareChase, they search dozens of websites for you, so you dont have to!!! It saves both time and money. Or just type "flights from dtw to aca" in Yahoo's search and fill the nifty search form that comes up!!! The cheapest flight I found there was for $538...

getting off on the first stop in Atlanta. for a flight intended from Detroit to Orlando

getting off on the first stop in Atlanta. for a flight intended from Detroit to Orlando ?
hello, i was looking for the cheapest possible flight ticket from Detroit to Atlanta and the prices are a bit high. however i found a possible way to get to Atlanta for cheaper. That is if i buy a one way ticket for a flight from Detroit to Orlando that makes a stop in Atlanta and require getting into another airline. So is it possible if i get off in Atlanta and leave with my carry on and never mind getting on another flight to Orlando? if yes to the question about then lets say i want to take it to the next level and buy a two way round trip, Detroit to Orlando and Orlando to Detroit with stops in Atlanta both ways. would i be able to get back on from Atlanta to Detroit if i was not present in the flights going to and from Orlando? I am talking about using AirTran thanks a lot

if you have do not have any luggage (besides your carry-on), then i guess that you could get off at Atlanta, but (and this has happened before at Milwaukee's airport) The Gate agents will be calling your name over the intercom. I would tell the check-in counter that you -for some reason- cant go to Orlando. That way if someone has HAS to go to Orlando and they have a standby ticket your spot would be free--it would be just the right thing to do.
2 :
You could try.....the way down would be the easiest......I would tell the ticket agent and free up a seat........as long as you have your boarding pass for the return flight you should be OK......but......make sure you have your boarding pass from Atlanta to Detroit......may work.....never heard of it but the worst that could happen is you have to buy a full fair day of purchase from Atlanta to Detroit......that will be expensive....Why don't you just call Air-Tran and ask........they can't smack you up side the head over the phone..........
3 :
Yes, your plan works for the one-way ticket. Just make sure you tell the ticket agent in Atlanta that you will not be making the connection to Orlando. Of course, this assumes that you only have carry on luggage as you will not be able to check your luggage just to Atlanta. You cannot do it, however, round-trip, as they will automatically cancel the Atlanta to Detroit leg if you are booked Orlando to Detroit via Atlanta and do not show up for the Orlando to Atlanta leg.
4 :
it can be done but if you are caught the airline can charge you the full fare DTW to ATL and of course your return reservations will be canceled
5 :
Since you have to reserve tickets with a credit card, the airlines will go ahead and charge it to your account. They aren't stupid and they know when people do such things and they will go after you. My friend needed to travel to Salt Lake City and he flew from St. Louis on Delta with a lay-off in SLC with a ticket onward to LA and the airline went after him. He was charged the $200 difference on his credit card. Your ticket should indicate that you are not allowed to just get off at the connection airport.

What is the flight path London to Detroit

What is the flight path London to Detroit?
Had beautiful views about 2 hrs before landing in Detroit....frozen lakes and moutains and virtually uninhabited. Where was that?

most likely Greenland
2 :
The flight path from London to Detroit does not pass over Greenland. About 2 hours before landing you would have been about 150 miles north of Quebec (the city). You were probably looking at an area called "Le Fjord-du-Saguenay".
3 :
This shows you the approximate flight path between those cities: http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=lhr-det What you saw was undoubtedly in Canada.
4 :
Frozen lakes and mountains suggests Canada. It was probably Nova Scotia or Québec you were looking at, as these provinces are peppered with lakes. Moreover, Canada is so vast that it would appear to be "virtually uninhabited". Greenland is less likely, especially with regards to the "lake" thing. Also, if you were flying over Greenland it would be for a flight further west to LAX or Vancouver. Hop this helped, JPJ
