Need some time help

Alright I have to pick my dad up at the DFW airport on the 12th.

Only problem is i don't know what time he comes in.. i just know its at night..

He leaves on the 12th and arrives on the 12th
it is a 16 hour flight

and right now as i type this it is 9:30 pm wednesday where he is at (vietnam) so thats the time in vietnam... anyone good at math lol

Um, we need to know what time he leaves Vietnam and how long the layovers are. If he flies into Dfw straight from Vietnam, or at least on the same plane, there shouldnt really be that many planes coming in from Vietnam at that time of night. I used to live in Malaysia and right now I think the time difference is 11 or 12 hrs. It's 13 I think during daylight savings.

Do you at least know the airline he is flying? The airlines will not give out passenger information, but if he is elderly, they will ask him if they can call you for him when he arrives. I hope this helps.

If you have his flight number and the airline he's flying, it's a somewhat simple matter to pull up the arrival/departure schedules for DFW or the specific airline. It may not be spot on but most times, it's good within a hour or so... Hope that helps a bit.

Yeah, I was assuming you didnt have that info. If you do, it's very simple.

on the itineraries the arrival time is always the destinations local time. so if you can find out what time the itinerary says, that will be the time.

Exactly what Lisa says. It's roughly four hours from Hooks to DFW. Get the arrival time and leave for the airport five hours prior to that. That gives you some time to park and get to the baggage area (no more meeting at the gates). Almost all airlines have an 800 number that you can get updated info, many even have automated alerts to your email or cell phone. All you need is the flight number and arrival info is just a few seconds away...

haha Cont did they told my dh that my mom wasn't on the flight she was supposed to be on and then proceeded to tell us which one she was on and such, but now that was here in CC lol. I was pretty shocked and he didn't show an idea or anything lol

Good luck with the times though
