Los Angeles - to Heathrow - to Glasgow? Need to check in with immigrations?
If one is traveling from LAX (Los Angeles) The flight then connects at LHR (London Heathrow) to connect to its final destination of Glasgow. Do you check in with immigrations at Heathrow or Glasgow? Also if thats the case checking in at heathrow, and we got one of those package deals and the time between connecting flights is about 1 hr 30 minutes, is that going to give enough time so we dont miss our flight?

You always go through customs at your first point of entry, so in this case London. They are pretty organzied there though, you should have no problems! I don't know if LHR to Glasgow is considered foreign or domestic, but you will definitely show your passport at LHR.

Glasgow..especially if you are only on layover at Heathrow.

You will go through customs and immigration at Heathrow - your first port of entry. This is always the same when I used to travel from Manchester (MAN) to Chicago O'Hare (ORD) and then to Denver (DIA). I always went through Customs and immigration at O'Hare and never at Denver - it is always done at your first port of entry into a country. London Heathrow and Glasgow are part of the United Kingdom - the same country. This is because when you catch your connecting flight (LHR to Glasgow) - it is a domestic flight and so you will not fly into the international terminal at Glasgow - so you will not go through any security when you land.

Make sure your bags are through checked straight to Glasgow from LAX as if you have to pick them up in LHR and recheck in you will be in real difficulties making your onward connex.Then assuming this is the case........when you arrive in Heathrow you just have to go straight to the Flight Connections Centre. In all probability you will be arriving to terminal 3 (unless British Airways which is terminal4) and you will nedd to go to Terminal 1 DOMESTIC departures . The F.C.C .is well signposted and incorporates a customs facility(make sure you have paperwork/landing cards filled in beforehand). Heathrow can be very busy and because they are doing so much refurbishment transfer times can be slow so keep a sense of urgency though you should be fine with a 90 min xfer. In Glasgow you will arrive in domestic arrivals and there will be normal security but no customs checks........do be aware however as your bags have interlined from an international destination they can appear on a different belt from the domestic bags.

How is the flight between New York (JFK) and Los Angeles (LAX)? Anyone have experiences
How is the flight between New York (JFK) and Los Angeles (LAX)? Anyone have experiences?
I'm flying to New York in February and I was wondering how long the flight is? Any suggestions on how to ease my mind during the trip? I'm flying on JetBlue so I know that the Direct Tv will help. I've flown many times before, but usually not longer than 3-4 hours. I'm just a bit tense... It's a non stop flight.

If you've flown, you've flown. I always bring a book to read for cross-country flights and a few snacks in transparent bags which they allow on the flight. Jet Blue will get you there. Is it a non-stop or layover. On a layover, get something to eat and clean up as best you can which makes you more refreshed for a long day in a cocoon. Jet Blue? Just make sure your seat isn't on the wingtip! Just kidding. I've flown J.B. from LAX to LaGuardia more times than I can count. I've also flown from NY to Rio which is 13 hours by way of Sao Paulo! Layovers can take it to 24 hours without seeing the light of day. Now that is a flight!

It's not much different than any other long-distance flight in the USA. You really have to work to get anything longer than, what, say 6 hours in the USA? The difference between 3 hours and 5 isn't that noticeable once you are in the air and settled in. I read on flights. I don't travel that much anymore, but when I did it regularly for work and play, I got a LOT of reading done. If I am tired, I can easily sleep on any flight also, so that works as a backup plan for me. Some of my friends cannot sleep on airplanes though, so that means more reading. In a nutshell, coast to coast flights are not that different than city hops...just more time in the air. *shrug*
3 :
It is more than 6 hours, less than 7.
4 :
I think that should be a little under 6 hours..but Jet Blue will make the trip amazing with their leather seats which are so comfortable. i love Jet Blue for the TV and satellite radio too...Jet Blue also gives food out more than other airlines.

What happens if my flight is cancelled
What happens if my flight is cancelled?
Ok, here we go... on January 17th, I have a flight from New York City to Los Angeles, and then on to Melbourne (all on the one ticket). What happens if my flight in New York is delayed or cancelled in New York City, and does not make the connecting flight in Los Angeles? Is Qantas liable to get me back to Melbourne when I finally get to Los Angeles? Remember, it was all bought on the one ticket. Thanks!

Not so if you are on a low cost airline, and it is more difficult to get this to happen now that tickets are usually electronic, and definitely not if a force majeure caused the cancellation.
2 :
Qantas will re-book you on to another flight. But note that if all the flights are full, you might have a long wait in LA.

$259.60 roundtrip, all taxes fees incl, departing 20th and back 27th. This on Frontier Airlines using Midway and LAX. I checked nearby airports, all the other airlines, and all the other sources that get suggested for you to check, but this is the cheapest using your date range. Requires 7 days advance purchase. http://www.frontierairlines.com
3 :
Try Southwest.com. I don't think they offer deals to travel search websites, so you have to go directly to them. They fly out of midway not O'hare.
