No outlets that I know of. Doens't your laptop have a battery?

Domestically, very few planes have ports. International flights do, but typically only in Business Class or First.

Travel to San Jose Airport Cheap method? from Santa Cruz. (emergency!)

Travel to San Jose Airport Cheap method? from Santa Cruz. (emergency!)?
Hello, My friend needs to take a ride to San Jose Airport, but she does not have a car (neither do I). We live in Santa Cruz. It's now 7:40pm, Tuesday, 12/23. Her flight is 6:30, Wednesday, 12/24. So she needs to find a vanpool or some travel method that will take her to the airport? is there any suggestion that you can make? Any good website to use? I Thank you in advance. Somebody told her that San Jose airport opens at 5:00am? That's why she's hesitating from using Highway 17. I am very skeptical of this. I can't seem to find this information on the web. Is it true that she can't spend the night at the airport? prompt reply appreciated.

I found this....Amtrak Bus... http://tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrak/FareFinder?_tripType=OneWay&_origin=Santa+Cruz%2C+CA+%28SCZ%29&_depmonthyear=2008-12&_depday=24&_dephourmin=0700&_destination=San+Jose%2C+CA+%28SJC%29&_retmonthyear=&_retday=&_rethourmin=&_adults=1&_children=0&_infants=0&_searchBy=schedule&x=33&y=20 and from there she could take a shuttle to the airport...

I sympathize. Have you tried a phone book? Look under airport or transportation....

Here's an option that will take you on public transportation and you'll need to spend overnight at the airport; it took some internet research, but here it goes: Take the Route 17 - Highway Express; the bus leaves the Santa Cruz Metro Center at 9:30 pm and arrives at Diridon Station at 10:15 pm. ($4) http://www.scmtd.com/routes/rt17.html Then take the Caltrain that leaves the San Jose Station at 10:30 pm and get off at the Santa Clara Station at 10:35 pm. Transfer to the VTA bus 10 heading toward the Airport, leaving at 10:48 pm and arriving at 10:59 pm. (Last 2 costs $2.25). This is cheap...but complicated and you'll need to spend the night at the airport.

I'd say, Just how soon you know for certain that you'll be going. The earlier you book your flight the cheaper your tickets are. That will obviously mean a lot of money saved in our already poor economy
2 :
As soon as you are going for sure start looking at flights and prices online. Prices can change day to day (sometimes they go up or down a couple hundred dollars) If you are really money conscience get in the habit of checking prices everyday and once the price gets lower than it has been it is time to book it!!! the closer you get to the travel date typically the more expensive it will be. check websites like: www.travelocity.com expedia.com hotwire.com orbitz.com those website check all the major carriers so it easy to compare!
3 :
No less than 21 days out to get the best price. After that they go up a lot.

How many hours earlier should I arrive at the airport before my flight?
I'm taking Continental Airlines from San Jose, CA to Cancun, Mexico. I'm going to make a stop at Houston, Texas first though, so I was wondering how many hours I should arrive earlier? Thanks!

Not knowing what time of day your flying, its not accurate but you should be there no later than 2 hours before your flight.
2 :
International flight, three hours.
3 :
Since you are flying internationally, you should arrive at the airport 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This will allow you to have enough time checking in, going through security, and finding your gate. Remember, on international flights, you must be at the gate 45-60 mins before the departure time. Enjoy your trip!
