Does a bicycle helmet count as a personal item on the airlines

Does a bicycle helmet count as a personal item on the airlines?
We are going on a bike tour, and are trying to avoid another checked bag, if possible. I suspect our carryons will be full, and as the personal item, I was thinking the handlebar bags (with a shoulder strap, like a purse). If we wear our bike helmets, will those just be treated as hats, or will we get tagged for having two personal items? Both the helmet and handlebar bag should fit under the seat in front of us, I would think. The flight is from San Jose, CA to Salt Lake City, UT. Then another from Salt Lake City to Fargo, ND.

roderick If it won't fit inside a carry on bag, then carry on a day pack. It is just slightly larger than a purse, and will easily fit under the seat.... plus, it will carry all you bike clothes. If you don't like that idea, and are stuck, wear the helmet on the plane. It is you hat of choice.... they won't press the issue! Then just stick it under the seat. Soccerref

I only have a 30 min lay over at Denver intl Airport. Is that enough time to get to my next flight

I only have a 30 min lay over at Denver intl Airport. Is that enough time to get to my next flight?
Thank you. I am flying United from San Jose to Denver to New York (LAG). I was also wondering if I should check my bags. Is that enough time for my bags to get from point A to Point B?

30 minutes is really cutting it close, especially at a large airport like Denver. It is also asking to have any checked bags not make the connection. If you have only carryon baggage and there is another flight after your scheduled flight you should be OK - you may just be taking the later flight. Call the airline and ask about your options.
2 :
I'd check with the airline and see if there is another possible flight a little later. Thirty minutes is cutting it pretty close, especially if your first flight is just a little late. And it could create trouble for any checked baggage. You may be okay if your 2nd flight will be taking off from the same concourse as where you land, but it's still close. The shortest layover I've had was 40 minutes in Pittsburgh, and we just barely made it to our plane. But our luggage did get on board with us.
3 :
If you are also taking United from Denver to LGA, you may be OK. As long the gate is close by from your arrival flight. Just hope your luggage would be transfered to your other flight too. Since it a connection you do not neesd to re-check them. But if you bought two separate tickets (one from San Jose to Denver and another one from Denver to LGA) you will never make the connection and you have to re-check your luggage.
4 :
United has the entire B concourse at Denver for domestic flights. From one end to the other, it can literally take you 15 minutes to walk. It is a very large concourse. I would recommend at least 60 minutes between flights when connecting at a large airport. The only saving grace is that you're flying to LGA from DEN and there's always a chance of having flow control restrictions in place for NYC making your flight leave Denver late.
5 :
My God! This is grossly insufficient time to reach the connecting flight even if you don't have to take the baggage.
6 :
yes i had 5 mins.
7 :
As long as your connecting flight is on United, you will be fine assuming your incoming flight is on time. All United flights arrive and depart out of the same concourse, so the gates are all within 5 minutes of eachother (not 15 minutes like that above guy said, unless you walk at a snail pace) and connected via moving walkway. So, assuming you are not disabled or lazy, 30 minutes is plenty of time to make your flight. Additionally, due to the fact that Denver is a hub for United, United will delay outgoing flights if a batch of incoming flights to Denver are delayed. Still, I would suggest carrying your bags on if you can. Why not?

Can anybody tell me what's with the supposed volaris airlines service to chicago

Can anybody tell me what's with the supposed volaris airlines service to chicago?
I've heard the news that volaris has applied for flight service to San Jose, CA and Chicago,IL from Guadalajara,MX and it's already been about a month and a half since they applied to launch service but the airline is already serving to san jose by the end of april and to chicago they haven't decided a start date to fly. What's going on with the guadalajara to chicago route?? Will they serve it and to which one of chicago's two airport will they fly to? By the way i live in chicago that's why i'm curious.

The government may still be in the process of approving the Chicago to Guadalajara route. Once approved, the airline has to incorporate the route into its network and make sure they have available aircraft. This can take a little bit of time so one has to be patient. You can always go to the airline's website to periodically check on any updates. Most likely the airline will fly out of O'Hare. Midway is for domestic flights.

How did an illegal alien manage to get on plane 'Unruly' passenger turned over to immigration officials

How did an illegal alien manage to get on plane 'Unruly' passenger turned over to immigration officials?
(CNN) -- A disruptive passenger who prompted a flight diversion Wednesday is on his way to being removed from the United States, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Because of privacy issues, ICE could only provide limited information about the incident. "I can tell you that the man who was removed from Continental Flight number 1576 on Wednesday morning in Albuquerque is in ICE custody, and he has been placed into removal proceedings," said agency spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa. The man is an illegal immigrant, Zamarripa confirmed. It is unclear whether the incident aboard the plane is related to proceedings to remove him from the United States. The passenger, who has not been identified, was taken into custody Wednesday at Albuquerque International Sunport in New Mexico after an incident aboard the plane led to an unexpected stop for the Houston-bound flight. The flight originated in San Jose, California. Immigration and FBI officials have declined to comment on the behavior that led to the diversion to New Mexico. The passenger was characterized as "unruly" by FBI spokesman Frank Fisher. CNN affiliate KOAT reports the man threatened to jump from the plane and had to be restrained. No one on the plane was hurt, and authorities do not believe there are any terrorism ties to the incident, Fisher said. Continental Airlines is cooperating with local authorities, an airline spokeswoman said Wednesday. http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/12/09/unruly.passenger.continental/index.html

Forget it. The good news is he's going home.

He's used to riding in buses and he thought the pilot could just pull him over and let him off.
3 :
Most likely he had purchased a ticket and had some kind of Government-issued ID, most likely a Mexican passport.

Hey, they say that the NO FLY list is not used extensively. So if terrorists can fly, why can't Illegals? According to Janet Napolitano, everything is fine in the USA and we don't need to worry about underwear bombers or hijacked planes because those things don't happen.

They should chain them up, and mask their faces so they can't kick or spit

Call me crazy, but I can't help but think that might be smarter for a person who is in the country illegally to not call attention to himself this way. I don't know, it's just a thought......
