US Airways or Continental?
WE FINALLY HAVE PINK
and i'm booking flights today. I flew American and loved it but it's way too expensive. If you have experience with the above, good or bad, please let me know. Thanks!

I flew US Airways through Charlotte and had a VERY pleasant journey. Customs there was easy etc. AND this was with flying down with my 4 year old and back with my four year old and two year old (no other adult!).

We flew on continental for our visit trip, and although the seats were small (DH is 6'6" so everything seems smaller) the flights were on time and great. The plane in GC was late gettin in and they hurried and did an excellent job of leaving on time and getting us into houston on time so people would not miss their connections. I've never seen an airline work so hard to make sure people caught their connections, and the flight was FULL with lots of kids and families. That's just my 2 cents and we only flew Houston to GC and back!
Have a great pick-up!! It must be so exciting!!!

Us Air is great. We also flew into Charlotte and it was easy getting through immigration. Also, Guatemala is in US Airs "buffer" Interntional zone - so you don't have to pay for an International lap ticket for the baby (usually around $150 - $200). You do have to get a paper ticket, and it only costs $47 (for taxes)! We've done that twice and saved a ton.
Congratulations!

I flew Continental on my visit trip and everything went very smoothly. We're waiting for pink and so have been checking flight prices. In our area, Delta has been by far the most inexpensive for last minute flights. I looked right on their website. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATS!!!
Continental and Delta have been great. I hate flying through Miami. We are going to try out best NOT to have to bring our daughter through customs there. I would rather swim! |

We love USAirways, but on the pick-up trip, the time for the connection wasn't long enough. My husband went for pick-up by himself, and almost missed his connecting flight due to long lines for immigration in Charlotte. The only way he made it was because it was delayed. Good luck & congratulations on "pink."

Have flown Continental through Houston to Guatemala three times,although not for pickup. Never a problem, Customs was smooth each time. I remember that they ask how long until your connecting flight and if an hour or less you go through a different line.
Flew USAir for the first time to Orlando earlier this year, we thought the seats provided a bit more space than we've found on other airlines. Tina
