Airplane ticket question..?

Question

I have a question about how my flight will work(it may be dumb but i don't fly often), i am going from harrisburg, pa to dallas, tx then to honolulu, hi...usually all the other times i've flown i've had a ticket for each leg of the trip, so in this case it would be a ticket from harrisburg to dallas, then a ticket for dallas to honolulu, but I have only one ticket that has all of that on it. How does this work? Do they just check my ticket at harrisburg and give it back to me for when i get to dallas...or what happens?

Answer 1

Because you have just the one ticket, I suspect you flight stops in texas, but you do not get off the plane. They let the folks who are getting off there and then let the other fliers to Hawaii get on board. Then all of you are off to Hawaii. Your ticket may not show this, but sometimes it will say something like 1 stop which in your case is Texas. They still call this a direct flight.

Answer 2

hopefully all you will have to do is check in once (Harrisburg) & your boarding pass will be scanned or at least hand them to you all at once. but if not there is always some one near the gate & they can get you your next boarding pass.

Answer 3

When you check in (either at the desk or online) you will receive a boarding pass for each leg of the trip.
