How long does it take to get from Nashville Int'l Airport to Downtown on Supershuttle

How long does it take to get from Nashville Int'l Airport to Downtown on Supershuttle?
Could anyone with experience taking Supershuttle downtown please tell me how long the trip typically takes from BNA? If my flight is scheduled to land at 8:30 am, could I reasonably be expected to exit the terminal (no checked baggage), get a shuttle, and make it downtown for an appointment at 9:30 or 9:45 am? Is this realistic or would I be better off taking a cab? Thanks!

Southwest Airlines flight with Connection

Southwest Airlines flight with Connection?
Later this week my family is flying on Southwest Airlines. We have a flight with a connection in Nashville. Our original flight leaves THURSDAY at 6:45 AM Eastern time and arrives in Nashville at 7:20 AM Central time. The connecting flight leaves at 7:45 Central time to continue to Florida. I have a few questions about this as we've never flown with Southwest. First, when we have to check in for flights 24 hours in advance do we check in at 6:45 AM WEDNESDAY (24 hours before the first leg) or do we have to wait until it's 24 hours before the second leg of the flight? Also, if you check in 24 hours before the FIRST flight can you check in for both flights? Will you be able to print boarding passes for both legs? Lastly, what are the chances of making a connection in 25 minutes. I know there is some padding to the schedule and they have quite a few flights a day with 25 minute connections, so it wouldn't be reasonable to allow these if EVERYBODY missed them, right? Oh, and we're new to this boarding policy. As long as we get A's or B' we'll be able to find at least two seats together, right? Lastly, when in Florida we'll be using my BlackBerry to check in, so I check in and then when we get to the airport our boarding place will be reserved and we print the passes there?

You should be able to check-in for both flights when you check-in for that first one. Many airlines now allow you to print your boarding pass now when you check-in so if Southwest has that feature, then you can print them out for both legs. As for the connection, that is pretty tight but as you mentioned, airlines do build in some padding so if the flight departs on-time, then you should be able to make the flight. As you get closer to landing, ask the flight attendant what gate your flight arrive at and what gate your departing flight to Florida leaves. That way you have an idea of where you need to go. You can request that the flight attendants hold the flight to Florida for you but whether or not they actually will can depend on how many other passengers are bound for the same destination. If you or someone in your group gets an A or B and can board first, have them put a jacket or something on the seat next to them so that when the other person boards, you can sit together. Also when in Florida and you need to check-in, you can check-in and print the boarding pass at the airport.

How do I find out flight information on a particular passenger

How do I find out flight information on a particular passenger?
I don't have any information on the flights he will take. Just that he is in the army and flew out of Kuaitt to Nashville Tenn.

I don't think you can unless it is from a family member. Due to privacy issues, terrorism and nutcases of the world, the airline will not give out that information.
2 :
Try emailing the army the army.
3 :
you cant
4 :
You will not find this info, you will have to wait until he contacts you. Definitely do not contact the Army, they will not talk to you unless it is someone in his unit who KNOWS you personally and even then you may get the run around.
5 :
you ask the airport to look up that flight then the passengers number

Yes, it is a bus. Apparently you are going to a city without air service, so Continental has created a bus connection from Newark to that city. A number of airlines have done that from major hubs like Chicago and New York/Newark. When you get off the plane, ask the gate agent just outside the jetway for directions on where to catch the bus. I'm sure it is well marked.
