How do you transfer checked baggage when flying multiple carriers?

robgs1783 asked:


And, without have to go to the baggage claim and then back through secruity and the ticketing counter of the different carrier.
ie. If I fly United into JFK, and am flying Jetblue from JFK to LAX, and I have an hour layover, how do I transfer my bags without them going down to the baggage claim and then having to check them again???

What can I expect flying a Cessna172?

Camry S asked:


I’m 16 and I’ve recently discovered a passion for flying. I’ve never been in a plane smaller than like a 20 seater, and while I’m very excited I would still like to know what to expect, and if there’s any pilots out there some tips and pointers.

Thank you so much!

What state has the circle and square shapes you see while flying in a plane?

Diva asked:


I was on a trip from FL to CA and when we almost arrived to southern CA we passed this weird place that had lots of very large circles and squares you could see while flying overhead. It looked somewhat like a checkerboard. Can anyone explain where this is and how it got that shape? Also is there some kind of purpose for it?
The first answer was helpful but does anyone know *where* the place is located?

Also could I get a regular pilot or do I need a certified trainer? And am I at a good age to start flying?
