airlines

Thanks for all of your suggestions.

It looks like American is the leader right now. Delta had good prices too, but the schedule wasn't as nice (more layovers, arriving seven hours later). United had an okay schedule and was only a bit more. American had the more consistent recommendations from you all. Continental was twice the price, so they're right out.

I tried connecting from Midwest (my favorite airline) to Aloha, but their schedules don't match.

Question: can you check your bags early, at the airport? Like, six hours early? Just wondering what to do with the bags if we've checked out of the hotel, but the flight doesn't leave until evening.
