How early should I get to the airport for my 5:55pm flight?
I am taking a 5:55pm flight on JetBlue from Dulles in Washington, DC to Oakland in California. I will not be checking any bags. I will be taking a carry-on and a "personal item" (backpack). I will be checking in online prior to going to the airport. What time should I arrive at the airport to ensure I make my flight? I was thinking 4pm (2 hours early) would be good. What do you think? Thanks!

I would just get there at least one hour early
2 :
yes 2 hours is the recommended time for national flights
3 :
depending on the rules in the airport, 2 hours it is in chicago or they wont let you on the plane for some reason. also like that in ft. lauderdale.
4 :
yeah, thats a good time... they say you should be at least 3-4 hours early for an international flight, so i think you're good with time. if anything, you'll have time to kill before they board, but looking on the bright side, you definately won't be rushed.. perhaps bring a book/magazine just incase?
5 :
No checked bags??? Just check-in online on the Jetblue website and print your boarding pass from your printer up to 24 hours before the flight and until say 2 hours before your flight. Then, your only concern becomes security. Because 6pm can be crowded (assuming this is a weekday), I would suggest you get at the airport around an hour before your flight.
6 :
2 hours is more than enough time, you will be fine... have a good flight, jet blue is the best airline i have ever flown, nice seats, lots of legroom, personal tv's dunkin donuts coffee, and lots of great snacks to choose from. have a good trip.

Cheapest way to get from Washington Dc airport (IAD) to Shenandoah University in Whinchester, Va
Cheapest way to get from Washington Dc airport (IAD) to Shenandoah University in Whinchester, Va?
My brother has an interview at Shenandoah University in Whinchester, Va. He is 21 years old. I priced out a rental car for a day and it was over $75! Plus I am worried that him being 21, he isn't old enough to rent without fee's attached. Is there any kind of public transportation that he could take and what are the time schedules? Also any cheap cheap hotels in the area would be great! He would be arriving on Sept 23rd and his interview is at 2:30 - 3:00 pm on Sept 24th and then would need to go back to the Washington DC airport and catch his flight to Las Vegas that night (Sept 24) Help me find the best deal thats affordable. He's a poor college student!

I just did some Internet searching on your question and couldn't find anything. There is limited bus service from Winchester into Washington, DC and Arlington, Virginia, but I couldn't find anything to Dulles. Your best bet is to contact the university directly and ask. If there is such transportation available, they will know.
2 :
you can get rental cars cheaper than that... there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

Sorry to tell you this, but Winchester Virginia about 2 hours northwest of Washington, DC. There is no public transportation. He'll have to rent a car. There just is no other option. Dulles Airport is out in the country, but at least it's in Virginia. He'll have to get over to I-81 and go north toward Winchester. It will take quite a while and he's going to be one beat puppy when he finishes. There are lots of cheap hotels in the Winchester area. I'd recommend a Days Inn. Winchester is a college town and they understand student's schedules. Days Inn is about the cheapest place there is. By the way, Shenandoah is a great school. I've known quite a few kids who went there and loved it, including family members. They also did very well after graduation. Good luck to your brother.

Have you looked at SuperShuttle? They will pick him up at the airport take him out to SU and can pick him up and take him back to the airport. http://www.supershuttle.com/default.aspx?content=SummerLift&GC=RIDES&SID=RIDES You can also try to find a lift on craigslist. Alternatively, he can try renting a car, but it is not only just expensive just to rent, but he will have to pay extra because he is under 25. Someone said that Winchester is like 2 hours from DC, it should be noted it's only 70 miles, but depending on the route he takes by car it could be 2 hours. However if he is flying into Dulles, it's like 50 miles instead. I would also recommend contacting the University, they probably have lots of people who come in from elsewhere and have had the question before.

Car rental Budget- 65 for one day, plus underage driver charge. Not sure what that is since its not on the website. Avis- 136.66 plus underage driver charge, not listed on the website Enterprise- 147.12 including underage driver charge.
6 :
Bella has the best answer. The Super Shuttle will be his best bet. Also, Winchester is only a 45 minute drive. I know because I live right across the highway from Dulles and drive to the the Winchester Sonic Drive In occasionally. Therefore, the Super Shuttle pick up at the airport shouldn't take more than an hour to get to Shenandoah U. http://www.supershuttle.com/ By the way, there are car services that nearly as reasonable as the shuttle.

I am taking a plane from Washington dc to London England at night is there going to be rough air?

I get really nervous when turbualnce accurs because I feel like the plane is about to crash or go down unexpectedly! please can anyone advise and tell me what to expect?

night is usually the calmest.

Having a rough flight depends on the weather conditions. The captain will announce weather conditions along the flight, and weather or not to expect turbulence. Have a great trip!
3 :
There is no way to forecast any sort of turbulence. Sophisticated on board weather radars can tell the crew where bad weather is and they'll try to avoid these conditions for passenger comfort. Turbulence IS SAFE!! Think of it as bumps on the water. Planes are built to sustain severe weather conditions and turbulence cannot damage an aircraft, just make it uncomfortable for everyone on board.
4 :
No matter where or when you fly there is always a chance for turbulance on a flight. It is entirely normal, so don't worry about it.
5 :
I would not be surprised if there is a little bit since the flight is quite long. Also it depends on the weather the night you fly out as well. It is hard for us to forecast whether or not you will experience any turbulence. There is a thing called clear air turbulence as well where the weather is clear and the aircraft drops. The best thing to do is to keep your seat belt fastend throughout the flight as sometimes turbulence cannot be predicted.
