You will probably get your seat number on your ticket when you check in. The seat choosing systems aren't always available depending on how you book your ticket, or for smaller flights.
2 :
Did you not select a seat or are there none available? If you didn't select one, log onto Delta.com and click "Itineraries & Check-in'. There, you'll be able to select a seat. If none are available, you have to wait until the airport to get your seat assignment. Have a great trip!

I know I had to go to their site 24 hours before my flight to pick a seat. Just call the airline to find out :)
4 :
and sometimes you can choose your seat. im flying on southwest on july 11 to pittsburgh and we can sit whereever you want (but try not sit by a weirdo lol jk)
5 :
go to delta.com and sign in and then reserve a seat

What would be the cheapest approach to getting a plane ticket to Madrid (March 15-23)

What would be the cheapest approach to getting a plane ticket to Madrid (March 15-23)?
During my spring break (march 15-23) I would like to fly out to see my girlfriend in Valencia, Spain. I'm looking for the cheapest ticket a can get (im a poor college student). From the research I've done it seems like flying into Madrid is cheaper than to Valencia. I live in Wisconsin, and would fly out from the Green Bay or Milwaukee airports. Mutiple flights are not a problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and the cheapest flights I've found so far have been around 670$. Thank you

First, try student travel sites. These are sometimes cheaper and more flexible: WeFlyHome.com STAtravel.com TravelCuts.com StudentUniverse.com Then try http://www.bookingbuddy.com with as many of their sources as you can. 1 input of cities and dates there can check hundreds of sources, including Kayak, Priceline, Orbitz, airlines direct, consolidators, and sources that check more sources--all in 1 go. Otherwise, I see Chicago-Madrid $521 total with American if you depart the 16th. If the links I gave above can't beat that, then you can get it from http://www.aa.com

try this before you buy ticket http://www.search2u.net/job.htm Good Luck!

Does An Airline Pilot's Flights Have To Start From The Pilot's Assigned Hub

Does An Airline Pilot's Flights Have To Start From The Pilot's Assigned Hub?
Lets Say That A Pilot Lives In Orlando, Florida. And That Pilot Applies For An Airline Based Out Milwaukee, Wisconsin. But That Pilot Lives In Orlando, Florida. Would That Pilot's Flights Have To Originate Out Of Milwaukee, Or Could That Pilot Start His Flights Out Of Orlando To Milwaukee, Than So On? Or Would That Pilot Have To Move To Milwaukee And Start All Of His Flights Out Of Milwaukee, Than Back To Milwaukee?

Technically the point of being based in a city is to operate out of it. It just wouldn't work if every pilot tried to start out of their home city. Many pilots do commute to their hub. I had a friend who operated out of Cincinnati, but lived in a small city in Texas. He would fly to Dallas and up to Cincinnati when he was scheduled to fly.
2 :
I would venture that 6 or 7 out of 10 pilots live in a different city than they are based out of. They commute back and forth by using an agreement that airlines have with each other to help pilots make the trip, this is called jumpseating. If there are extra seats on the flight, the pilot will ride in the cabin. If not, the pilot will ride on an extra seat in the cockpit called the jump seat. We can do this because as pilots, we all endure special security screening that other employees in the company do not. Pilots commute for a variety of reasons. One would be starting with a different airline that is based in another city. If an airline has several hubs, as your seniority increases, you can bid to transfer to another hub city. This may be for an easier commute, to be closer to home, or because of better schedules available out of that hub city. Another reason can be promotion to captain, or upgrading. This causes a pilot to go from the top of the first officer seniority list to the bottom of the captain list. This may mean the pilot has to transfer to a more junior hub city to fly as a captain. Things change so quickly that it is difficult to list every possible scenario. Some pilots choose to move rather than commute, because it adds stress and can eat into your days off if you miss flights or have to leave home early.
