Do I need travel insurance if my flight is canceled?
It's expected to snow in England and I have a flight from here to Baltimore next Thursday. I've never flown before, so I don't know if travel insurance is to cover you for getting injured, or if it has anything to do with flights and such. If my flight is canceled, will I get put onto another flight if I do not have insurance? Also, how much snow is required to disrupt flights? Snow over here doesn't tend to get very deep.

You'd better get the insurance BEFORE you go.

You do not need insurance to get put on another flight if the flight is canceled. The airline puts you on a later flight (if it is because of a snowstorm, it could be several days later) and does not charge you additional money. You may need money to pay for a hotel room near the airport if you do not want to go back home to wait.

Well you don't have to bother for that, flight company will arrange it for you.

Around 8 to 9 hours approximatley
2 :
I'm not sure.
3 :
My guess would be between 8 and 10 hours, depending on where in Germany the flight would be departing from and the type of aircraft being used. A standard commercial flight from Frankfurt to Washington is about 8 1/2 hours.
4 :
Hello, It really depends on the aircraft you are flying on. If you can get on a KC-135 or KC-10, these planes fly at over 600 mph. If you get on a C-5, it will take longer because it flys at 541 mph. The plane you won't want is the KC-130. It flys at 362 mph. Sometimes you don't have a choice of planes but if you do, choose one of the faster ones and the trip will take between 8-10 hours. Donna
5 :
If you were to get a direct flight from Berlin to Baltimore it would be approx. 9 Hrs 12 Min. You can get flight times and distances for airports all over the world at http://www.jets.com/ http://www.legfind.com/EDDT_airport_BERLIN.aspx http://www.legfind.com/KBWI_airport_BALTIMORE.aspx
6 :
World Airways / ATA operate these flights, mostly with their MD10s and 11s. The flight should take 8.5 to 9 hours, max.

If you are past security at an airport, could you intentionally get on the wrong flight?

No ways. After you check in your luggage you are given a boarding pass. You go through passport control and wait for your flight to board. When your gate opens you have to show your boarding pass and sometimes your passport too. When you board your flight, the flight attendant checks your seat number and directs you where to sit. So, no, if it was that easy, wouldn't we all do it!!!
2 :
No. Right before you board, at the flight gate, they check your boarding pass once again.
3 :
no you can't. First, you have to show a boarding pass at the gate which is scanned...the scanner is programmed to read valid boarding passes for that particular destination. If your boarding pass doesn't match the names on the flight manifest, you'll be directed to your correct gate. Hypothetically...what would you do when you got to Europe. Do you always carry a passport when going to Baltimore? When you get to Europe, they'll want to check your passport AND match it with your return ticket. Don't have either?? Back on the airplane you go, and back to the US. Once you're back?? No passport?? oh oh...how are you going to get back into the US without any valid proof you're a citizen? Say you carry your passport and SOMEHOW fall through the cracks, and manage to board a Europe bound jet. How will you get back?? you hold a ticket from Baltimore to BFE...not from Europe to BFE...if the GOD's truly are in your favor that day, you manage to pass through Euro-immigration without a return ticket...voila! Enjoy your vacation. Now to come back! oooops! Can't use that Baltimore ticket...gonna have to buy one, and one-way fares from Europe plus the departure taxes aren't cheap. It's a fun concept bud, but...if it were all that easy, don't you think everyone would be trying it?? Good luck! (something eles you might need to know...intentionally done...it's called stealing...just fyi).

No, you can't get on another flight. Before you go on the plane, they double check your boarding pass to make sure you're at the right one. When I was flying home from NYC a month ago, someone in front of me tried to do that. One of the employees told him he was at the wrong terminal and had someone escort him to the correct one.
5 :
"Could" you? Maybe. People do sometimes get on the wrong flight. It should not be possible, but in the real world it is. But don't count on it. And as has been pointed out already, even if you did your troubles would only be beginning.
