whats the likeliness of flight delay flying out frm IAD (washington DC) around JAnuary

whats the likeliness of flight delay flying out frm IAD (washington DC) around JAnuary?
What is the likeliness of flight being delay at IAD around January? had anyone here ever been delayed at IAD around the time of early january? due to storm, blizzard, etc? if you did, how long was the delay and when exactly was it (date)...cuz i have a flight going frm IAD to PDX by United Airline...and im really worry about the flight being delay since i will arrive at PDX frm IAD around 840pm and i have a flight flying out frm PDX to LAX the following morning at 1030am...so i'm worry that if my flight is delay i will miss my morning flight to LAX.. i alrdy booked. it..and did thought about it until now :\ i cant really change my flight now huh? cuz i bought it on Tuesday. hahha yes there is...i'm not suppose to go to JAX...but my family dont know ...so im sneaking away for a few days. >.< therefore i have to be back on time for my flight back to LAX from PDX (i'm suppose to stay in Portland the whole week..but im not. ) lol

If your worried book an earlier flight, a day earlier, hour, but yeah don't risk it if your this worried. Book earlier.
2 :
Any flight can be delayed for a number of reasons. Weather, mechanical, etc. There is no guessing what will happen. That being said, you have a 14 hour connection time!!!! Your chances of misconnecting on that are slim to none! The only way you wouldn't make it would be if the flight canceled for some reason or another. If that happens, ask them to put you on a direct flight from IAD-LAX. That's quite the strange itinerary that you have. Is there a reason for the stop in PDX????

flights for toronto to washington dc

flights for toronto to washington dc?
We want to flight from toronto to washing dc but one person in are group does not like flying in small jets and has said he will not fly in anything smaller than a 737. Does anyone know if there is an airline that operates a service with a 737 or larger?

I'm not aware of any airlines flying between Toronto and the northeastern part of the US using anything larger than a regional jet -- this is true not only for the nonstop flights between YYZ and Washington or Baltimore, but also for flights to other nearby cities, such as New York or Philadelphia. Your friend will either need to find an alternative method to make this trip, find a nearby airport in the US from which to fly that may have mainline jet service to New York (such as Detroit), or he will have to find an itinerary that involves mainline jet service through another city. (American mainline service, for example, can be used to fly from Toronto to Washington via either Los Angeles or Dallas, but keep in mind that both of these itineraries are likely to be extremely expensive, as they will likely require the purchase of two fares.)

no, only served by Embraer 175, Dash 8-100, Embraer 145, Train. :-)
3 :
Not that I know of. Personally, I'd rather fly in a relatively new Embraer jet than in an old 737 that's past it's prime any day.

Should I buy my flight now or wait?
I need a flight going from Washington DC (out of DCA, IAD, or BWI) going to Denver on May 8. Should I buy now or wait?

Buy as soon as your dates are confirmed, it's expected more people will be traveling and oil prices would go up later, therefore prices could only go up.
2 :
Buy now. The next threshold is 21 days before departure date. Then 14 days. Please check: Tips: a- use flexible dates b- use alternative airports http://www.hotwire.com/ http://www.cheapoair.com/ http://www.kayak.com/ http://www.orbitz.com/ http://www.priceline.com/ http://www.expedia.com/default.asp http://www.farecompare.com/ http://www.bing.com/travel/ http://www.airfarewatchdog.com/ http://www.cheapair.com/

Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, and as such is PART of the United States...therefore , it is a domestic flight and no passport is needed. Just like flying to Alaska por Hawaii...same goes for Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
2 :
Charlie is dead wrong about Alaska and Hawaii. Theses are BOTH states of the US. Number 49 and 50 respectively Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin are NOT states of US but are US possessions. (territories) You still fly domestically. to P.R.
3 :
Passports were needed for going by air and returning as of January 2007 in US, Canada, Mexico Caribbean & Bermuda. In Summer 2008 is when it is required for travel by Land and Sea. No you don't need a passport, but you should already have one, especially if you are flying. What happens if the plane needs an emergency stop somewhere? You will be screwed if that happens.
4 :
It sounds as though you are flying United Airlines. UA has a hub in Washington Dulles and your gate will most likely begin with the letter C or D. No terminal transfer is likely so it will not be like LAX where sometimes you change terminals. The United terminal at IAD is a long terminal. Just look at the airport in the Hemispheres in-flight magazine. Yes the flight to Puerto Rico should be domestic since PR is US territory.
