Question: Can an international passport be used for domestic air travel in the US?

Answer: Domestic travel requires a government issued ID, and a passport would qualify, so yes.
Question: Air travel requirements for international travel to Ukraine from the U.S.???
Does anyone know the carry on bag dimensions? and the size of liquid? I will be traveling by aerosvit and the website was not all that helpful.
Answer: Every airline has its own policies for the size of carry-ons, how many bags you can check, the size of checked bags, etc. In general, carry-on bags must fit under a seat or in an overhead bin. Just go to the website of the airline that you're flying. Most airlines post this information on their websites, so it's very easy to check.
Liquids are governed by TSA rules and have nothing to do with the airline or your destination. You can find information on what is allowed (and what isn't) at www.tsa.gov
Question: Is BootsAll Travel Network a scam? I need to buy international air ticket, they seem have cheap ones.?
I never heard people talk about Bootsnall. If they have cheap fare, they should be popular.
Answer: I've never heard of them until now... and with their extremely low prices, they must be a some sort of scam.
If you are looking for discounted airfare, I would use Priceline's Your Own Price Service. Airlineconsolidator.com also has some good prices.
Question: By mistake i wrote something on my international air ticket.will it cause any problem when i travel?
I didn't wrote directly on my ticket but I wrote on some paper which is above the ticket .Which i wrote on that paper it is printed on the ticket also.
Answer: no you will not have any problem with that. all they need is the barcode of you ticket.
Question: What is the maximum luggage weight limit for international air travel?
The airlines used to limit you to two bags of 70 pounds each for international travel. Is this still true? I have heard that some airlines are now enforcing a new limit of two bags of 50 pounds each
Answer: Overall, foreign airlines still have the 70 pound rule for checked luggage (ex. Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines).
Domestic airlines, such as Northwest and others have imposed the 50 pound rule, except in certain areas or countries. I believe its still 70 pounds for Manila in the Philippines. When in doubt check with the airlines website and if that doesn't get you the right info, stick with the 50 pounds.
Question: In international air travel, whether laptop is allowed over and above free 8kg handbag luggage?
or it is part of 8kg free handbag allowance?
Answer: Depending on the airline the weight limits apply to either the individual items OR both your carry on and your personal item together. In addition to your one carry on bag you are allowed one additional personal item such as a briefcase, camera bag, purse, laptop, small backpack, small tote bag, diaper bag, umbrella, make up bag, dop kit, etc.
Travel Insider has a chart listing the carry on bag limits for most of the major airlines and the weights/size limits for each item. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page for the chart: http://www.thetravelinsider.info/travelaccessories/internationalcarryonluggageallowances.htm
But, you may just want to call the airline first to make sure.

Answer: There are usually fewer or no restrictions on one way tickets which means they are changeable and refundable making them more expensive.
Question: International air travel
i am about to fly from ord to pek on united later this month and i was wondering about the basics of international air travel i.e. how early to arive at the airport, what to expect at customs, and security screenings, thanks alot
Answer: i am assuming that you have all the necessary documents needed for your travel - passport, tickets, ID's and visa stamps (if needed).
since this is your first time (?) to travel abroad, go to the airport at least 3 hours before your flight. You will perhaps see a line on the entrance (and sometimes, this line may be long). As you enter the check-in area, your luggage will go through xrays. You will also be required to put in a plastic container (airport provided) all metals in your body - coins, cell phones, watch, belt, shoes, jackets, hats etc ... then you also go through an xray passageway. If it beeps, meaning there are still metals in your possession, then you will be requested to do the same routine again, until it no longer 'beeps' as you pass.
If successful, then you gather your things and go to the check-in area of your airline. Again, there maybe a line. When it's your turn, hand over to the receptionist your passport and ticket. He may also require an ID. After he processes your flight, he will give you back your passport, boarding pass and ticket (attached there will be the claim stubs of your luggage).
When you have the boarding pass, you again line up for the immigration check. (Some airports require that you pay first a terminal fee before going through immigration). Present your passport and boarding pass and the immigration officer will stamp your passport of your departure date.
After immigration, as you go now to your assigned boarding gate, you will be checked again for your hand carried baggage. You will have to undergo again the earlier routine of putting everything in a plastic container your metal things etc. In some cases, your hand carry luggage may be subjected to close scrutiny by opening it.
When it is time for your flight, you line up at the gate, present your boarding pass before boarding the plane. Then you're off.
Upon arrival at destination, just follow the people in front of you. They will all be going to the immigration counter. Here, you present your passport and immigration entry card (provided by the airline stewardess on the flight). After clearing immigration, you line up and wait for your luggage. When you have gotten all your luggage, line up at the customs area. Some airport customs may be very strict and subject your luggage to opening. After clearing customs, you may now go out of the airport.
On your return flight, expect the same routine when you left your country.
Question: Info on international air travel?
I'm flying from the U.S. to Germany.. I need to know how to pack( Like what I can't bring, food, items..etc) How to exchange money...I have a bank account and a debit card, but I dunno if that helps... and what is customs....if you haven't noticed this is my first international travel
Answer: Are you going to be living there or just visiting? If you are just visiting then your Debit card should work at the ATM's & if it has a Visa or Mastercard Logo on it then it will work anywhere they accept it. That can be a great way to get the best rates in exchange. You should have some Euros with you when you land to pay the taxi or airport shuttle, or whatever else you might need right away. You can also get American Express Traveller's Checks if you feel the need for them. You can usually exchange money at any bank or money exchange. The exchanges themselves can be anywhere including malls depending on where exactly you are going to be.
Normally foods like fruits & vegetables are not allowed to be taken into foreign countries.
