I'm planning on buying a ticket to visit my friend in Indianapolis from Dulles International Airport but I don't know what I need! - 1
Added (1). So, I'm in college and I've been saving money to visit my friend in Indianaplis. Only thing is I don't know anything about going on an airplane. My passport expired 4 years ago so will my drivers license be sufficient? How early should I show up to the airport? What should I expect? I know everyone is thinking I should figure everything out on my own, but by asking on here this is me finding out "on my own."
Currently, only United Express has non-stop service from Dulles to Indianapolis. You can use your drivers license for domestic travel. Should be at the airport a least 2 hours before take-off. Check the website below for what you can and can't bring on an aircraft.

Well, you need to buy a round trip ticket as soon as you're 100% sure on your dates.
almost all tickets are non-refundable and if you need to change the departure or return date, you will pay like a $200 change fee PLUS the difference in airfare.
you only need your state ID
depending on the airline, you may have to pay for your checked bag and even the carry on bag so be sure you know about any additional fees you might be subject to. (spirit, frontier and allegiant are the worst for fees)
you need to get to the airport about 2 hours before departure unless the weather is bad, make sure your flight is not delayed and plan on extra time to get to the airport.
once at the airport, you pretty much just follow the crowds. Check in at your airline desk, go through security and then to the gate.
if you have any questions, just ask any airport employee. They can point you in the right direction.
- How to transfer airport between Dulles Washington airport (IAD)to Ronald Reagan airport (DCA)? Flight from Abu Dhabi will be arriving at IAD around 4.25pm on Thursday. Flight to DCA flying to Nashville is at 8pm. I read reviews and realised that the traffic is really bad. I prefer non stop and shuttle bus since I never been to Washington.
- Flying from the UK with Easyjet - will I need to visit the check-in desk if I already have printed off boarding passes & only hand luggage? I'm flying abroad later in March (from Manchester), just for 3 days, so I only need to pack a small carry on/hand luggage. We've been sent our boarding passes already and we can check in from tomorrow (28th), but I've never been through the airport without calling at the check-in desk first. What do I do? Go straight to security? I'm not sure. Any help and directions would be ideal!
- Never been on a plane but parents want me to fly solo to Washington to visit grandparents? My grandparents' 50th anniversary is coming up. Neither of my parents could get time off to visit, so they want to send me on a plane, by myself, from NY to Washington (state). The issue is that I've never once been on a plane, or even set foot in an airport, for that matter. I've voiced concerns about this with my parents but they don't care and say I'm going whether I like it or not. I'm 14 please help!
- Can my friend enter the international part of the airport on my layover so I can visit him? I have a 5 hour layover in fort lauderdale coming from out of the country and I want to visit my friend who lives there at the airport bar. Should I exit through customs or can he come in if he doesn't have a ticket anywhere?
