Joseph C asked:
In July I’m going to visit my relatives in North Carolina. I will be flying from Buffalo to Raleigh, but all the flights from Buffalo to Raleigh have a connection. I’m 16 and it will be my first time flying alone so I’m sort of nervous about it especially the connection. My parents are going to book either U.S. Airways with a connection in Charlotte or Southwest with a connection in Baltimore. I don’t understand how connections work though. When I get to the connection city, do I stay on the plane while some get off and new passengers get on, or do I get off and go to another plane? If I go to another plane, do I have to pick up my bags from the baggage claim or do they take it straight to the other plane?
