1hr trip but my flight duration says otherwise?
I'm new at flying. I'm from florida, going to chicago. I know they are 1hr behind. I'm doing a nonstop flight, they say my flight departs at 8:00 AM and lands at 9:45 AM (which is an hour, correct?) but my flight duration says 2hrs and 40 minutes? My friend is supposed to pick me up from the airport and I don't want them to be at the airport too early when I actually won't land till 10 AM. I'm sorry if this is a dumb question lol I'm just a little confused
Added (1). Thank you!
Both departure and arrival times are CURRENT LOCAL times. Tell you friend your flight gets in at 9:45 AM. It works like this:
When you leave at 8:00 AM LOCAL TIME in your city, it is actually 7:00 AM in your friend's city. So, two hours and 45 minutes later, you will land at 9:45 LOCAL TIME in that city.
If you take off from FL at 8am, and your flight is 2 hours 40 minutes, then you would be landing in Chicago when it is 10:40am in FL, and therefore 9:40 am in Chicago. That 9:45 arrival time is local to Chicago, and is correct.
My flight duration says 2hrs and 40 minutes. That is about what it should be.
The scheduled LANDING time is 9:45 Chicago Time That is 10:45 in FLORIDA
Did you expect to dash off the plane the minute it lands? Are you GUARANTEED it will arrive on time?
MOST when picking someone up at the Airport check for when the flight will land and knowing the local Airport will arrive at a time to fetch you.Expect to be with your ride 15 to 30 minutes AFTER the plane lands.
. Very nice you are aware of time zones. MANY FORGET THEY EXIST. In your case the times are
Depart at 8:00 AM EASTERN Standard time in Florida and land in Chicago at 9:45 CENTRAL Standard time. The time used in Chicago.
Airline schedules use LOCAL TIME for the time of departure and landing.
Two hours and 45 minutes is the SCHEDULED time of flight. It might land a little early, maybe on time or it could be late.
LANDING TIME is not the time YOU get off the plane. Could be 10 to 20 minutes after you land. Then you need to get to the place your friends will meet you give that 10 -20 minutes to walk from your gate. Have checked bag? That takes about 15-30 minutes to get to the baggage pickup area.
YOUR flight might not depart exactly at 8:00.
I know they are 1hr behind. Chicago is the one that is one hour behind. Your flight home adds an hour on the clock Departing at 8 and arriving just before NOON.
. I'm sorry if this is a dumb question lol I'm just a little confused. NOT A DUMB QUESTION many get confused with time zones when reading schedules.
- If I brought a flight to Bolivia but end up not flying will Bolivia know about this and will this affect me if I try to visit again? I didn't go to the airport since I had an family emergency I didn't apply for a Visa or anything
- I have a female Shih Tzu that has the brachycephalic syndrome typical with the breed, Vet says do nothing, what do you think? The dog is 10 years old, he said it's a procedure not always successful, but if you're going to do it, it should be around age 2-4. Her breathing is stable, she's in good shape due to exercise, He said he could try the procedure to open airway up, but said I can't guarantee anything.
- I've never been on a flight before and I'm going on a trip alone to get away. What do I expect at the airport? How does the process work? Who do I talk to when I arrive? Is it easy to follow? I know I need to arrive two hours early but that's all I know
- I'm 21 and I have a license that says under 21 ? I just turned 21 and I have a license that says under 21 . Plus I have to travel on Friday and they don't accept temporary identification in the airport. Also my id doesn't expire until 2025 . I'm just figuring out if I should go to the dmv to get it updated or leave it as it is since it doesn't expire
