When can a newborn fly on a plane?

Infants are not allowed to fly under the age of 8-10 days depending on stateside or internationally. I flew stateside with my 5week old and he slept the entire flight of 4hrs. :) More input from FAQ Farmers: * I don't believe there is any minimum age. But you can call any airline to be sure. Most international flights will not let an infant younger than two days old fly.

* There is a minimum age, I'm pretty sure it's a month old (check with the airline to be sure though, as it may differ between airlines) * As long as the infant has a passport, it can fly.

What are aeroplanes made of?

Why does the pilot adjust the shape of the wings for takeoff and landing?

During takeoff, the leading and trail edges of the wings (flaps and slats) are lowered usually between 3-15 degrees, Although this causes drag it is still done as it helps the wing create more lift when it is needed most, aswell as aiding the wings to get the aircraft off the ground, It also speeds up the rate of climb and keeps the aircraft a bit more stable while its flying at a slow speed.

If your flying in a 737 (for examples sake)

At 500ft the flaps will be raised a stage (usually from 5 degrees to 2 )

At 1500 they will be taken back another stage ( to 1 degrees)

They are usually kept at one degrees until about 5000ft just to give the aircraft a small lift boost during its climb.

after the aircraft is at around 250 knots (the airspeed limit under 10,000ft) , the flaps will be totally raised so the aircraft is as aerodynamic as it can be and so it can continue its climb at a more gradual and shallow rate.

How big does an airport have to be to take international planes?

Can you pack a laptop in your suitcase and the hold of a aeroplanes?

I wouldn't. They toss your luggage around like a ragdoll and stack it high so your lappy would probably get smashed.

Answer

Sure

Aside from rough handling at the hands of baggage handlers, the environment (low pressure and cold) of the airplane cargo bay will not damage your computer. Be sure that the laptop has warmed up to room temperature before you turn it on for the first time after the flight.

Answer

Yes, usually not a problem. Although its not that uncommon to have valuables like laptops stolen while in transit.

Can you bring a pack of daily contacts on an airplane?

yes, as long as there is no metal you can probably get past security with it in your pocket, but it is advised that you put it through the x-ray, i am not sure that the rays will damage the contacts but you should give the to the security so they don't have to go through. they Will check it and give it to you so you can go on your way. as far as the planes go, the pressure will do nothing to the contacts, so just worry about getting them on the plane

What is a checked bag?

In simple airline parlance, a 'checked' bag is a piece of baggage that has, or is about to be handed over to the airline for cartage with the passenger. The term 'checked bags' refers to passengers who have checked in at the ticket counter or kerb and have obtained a receipt for the baggage. The receipt contains a bar-code indicating the board-point and destination and flight details.

In some of the most distant locations on the planet, non-automated baggage receipts may still be used. However, it requires passengers to re-check their baggage at a point where the baggage details become part of the PNR (Passenger Name Record) or booking.
