Picking up GF at the airport.

[Circlenaut]

Here's her itinerary: It's not the actual one but your help will help me with the actual one.

T04 AUG 06 FRIDAY
UNITED 862 SPCL CLASS
LV: HOCHIMINH 610
AR: HONG KONG 950
ELAPSED TIME 2:40

UNITED 828 SPCL CLASS
LV: HONGKONG 1745
AR: CHICAGO/OHARE 1917
ARRIVAL TERMINAL 5
ELAPSED TIME 14:32

UNITED 828 SPCL CLASS
DEPART TERMINAL 1
LV: CHICAGO/OHARE 2045
AR: BOSTON 2356
TERMINAL C
ELAPSED TIME 2:11

I'm confused about her 14 hour trip from Hong Kong to Chicago. I dont know if the "19:17" is on the 4th or the 5th. Since her plane is going along with the earth's rotation and there's a 12 hour differences between Boston and Hong kong wouldn't that "19:17" actually be 26 hours later, not 2 hours later, hence the 5th? What's really confusing me is when I call her sometimes, the days are different. Like when it's sunday here it's monday there. And that's all she gave me, so I have to work with it. Help!

Have her call you when she lands.

 

[silverspear]

arrival times are local tiem - so what's written is the time she will arrive local time. You don't have to convert the time etc.

That's the most convenient way if you're not too far from the airport. By the time she gets out to the side walk, you'll be there to pick her up. That's what I do when I pick up people at the airport. But I live 15 min from the airport.

 

[Bootprint]

you could also track the flight and check for possible delays.

 

[Taggart]

Posting pics of your gf would help me answer your question.

 

[EyeMWing]

Flight times are ALWAYS local time to the airport at which the event is occuring.

 

[MustangSVT]

I think you're right, because she crosses the international date line.

Arrives HONG KONG at 9:50 AM on Friday, 8/6

UNITED 828 SPCL CLASS
LV: HONGKONG 1745
AR: CHICAGO/OHARE 1917
ARRIVAL TERMINAL 5
ELAPSED TIME 14:32
Flight Number: United 828
Departs HONG KONG at 5:45 PM on Friday, 8/6 (wow...~7.5hr stay at Hong Kong Airport )
Arrives CHICAGO (O'Hare) at 7:17 PM on Friday 8/6


UNITED 828 SPCL CLASS
DEPART TERMINAL 1
LV: CHICAGO/OHARE 2045

ELAPSED TIME 2:11
Flight Number: United 828
Departs CHICAGO (O'Hare) at 8:45 PM on Friday, 8/6
Arrives BOSTON at 11:56 PM on Friday, 8/6 (Go to Terminal C at the Boston Airport to pick her up...I would aim for ~1:00 AM [Friday Night/Saturday(8/7) Morning] to reach the airport as she will have to go through Customs/Immigration)


She is leaving HOCHI MINH on Friday (8/6) morning and reaching BOSTON on Friday (8/6) night. (LOCAL TIMES)

She will NOT be getting OFF the plane (or changing planes) at Chicago Airport. It is the SAME plane from Hong Kong that will be going to BOSTON. She will be sitting inside the plane for ~1hr when others get off at Chicago.

hope that helps

TOTAL TRANSIT TIME(actual): 2:40 + 7:55 + 14:32 + 1:28 + 2:11 = 28Hrs 46Min
TOTAL TRANSIT TIME (on Clock): 17Hrs 46Min)

Yeah, thanks man. I was thinking she'd be on the same plane since it's the same flight number. Dunno if she has to change sim cards in order to call me from Boston. Hmm That'll give me plenty of time to get off work. Thanks guys.

This is not correct. Flight 828 involves a plane change in ORD - where she will have to pick up her bag and clear customs / immigration. The bag is then rechecked for the flight to BOS. The ORD -> BOS flight is a standard domestic flight

Oops she will come here on 8/6 but her port of entry will be Chicago O'Hare, not Boston Logan. So be there just like you would go there for domestic flight.

Yea just get her to call you when she lands. Chances are she will be taking longer than expected due to baggage claims and finding the way to the correct airport entrances/exits.

where are the pics of gf?
