Nikki asked:


Say I wanted to book two separate flights to make it to my destination (meaning I would book one flight to one airport and when I arrived there I would have a layover until my next flight to my final destination left a couple of hours later). I would be booking this myself… possibly even two different airlines. If my first flight were delayed and I missed my second flight, the airline would see it as my fault. So what would happen in this situation? Would I have to buy a whole other ticket at full price on the spot to make it to my destination?

Does anyone know if any of the regional or major commercial airlines have loan repayment programs for pilots? I have a strong interest in flying and I’m looking for help in financing flight school, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m looking to go to ATP’s flight school. Would FAFSA help with flight school? I’d love to hear from some pilots who have dealt with this before, however like I said ANY advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We’re planning to head out to Greece this Summer and was trying to convince my GF, but she dreads long flights. How long is the flight from New York to Greece? Are there any direct flights, and also, which is the cheapest airline to get there?

European asked:


Every other year I fly from the D.C area to Vilnius, Lithuaia to vist family. We fly June or in July- the most expensive time to fly transatlantic.

Would it be better for me to book for example since there are no direct flights to Vilnius, a flight to Copenhagen, and then seperately a flight from Copenhagen to Vilnius.
Instead of buying them together.

Its just when you buy together the airline will help you if you miss your flight due to a delay or something. But if you book seperate they most likely won’t help you, correct?

Brett Sadowski asked:


I am a USNA grad and going into medical school this year. I am trying to get more information about becoming a flight surgeon and want to know how it effects my service obligation. I know that my USNA time make me owe 5 years and my HPSP time I will owe an additional 4. Residency won’t count, but does the training I receive to become a flight surgeon add to my service obligation? Thanks for your help.

My boyfriend just got hired as a flight attendant for Continental airlines. What are their rules about me traveling on a pass (since we are not married but do live together) and his family members? How soon do we get the benefits? After he has been working a while? or immediately? Also, I’ve heard that if you get laid off you still get travel benefits as well, is that true?
