I am going on a trip soon that starts in Chicago ends in Italy. However, I stop at Munich before I get to Italy; I have a friend that says they can pick me up when I get to Munich. What I want to know is, is there a way for me to have my luggage able to be retrieved by me when I get to Germany?

    Which airline? Most will not allow you to short check bags unless there's a rather long or overnight layover involved. Also note that if you miss one segment on your itinerary, everything else will be automatically cancelled. If this is a round-trip ticket and you don't board your flight from Munich to Italy, your tickets home will be cancelled.

  • Just to clarify, are you talking about skipping the Munich-Italy flight, or just staying in Munich before your next flight to Italy? If so, how long are you staying in Munich?

This is called short-checking and it is sometimes possible, particularly if you have an overnight connection and might need your bags' contents. For short connections, the request might be refused as some people use it for so-calle hidden-city ticketing, where they buy a cheaper ticket from A to B to C to actually travel to city B.



Note that you'll need to recheck your bag before boarding your flight to Italy, so you'll need to return to the airport within a long enough period to permit time to check the bag and clear security.

            How can temperature be calculated given relative humidity and dew point?

            How can temperature be calculated given relative humidity and dew point? While looking into the better indicator of how miserable it feels outside, either dew point or relative humidity, I came across this statement: The optimum combination for human comfort is a dewpoint of about 60 F and a RH of between 50 and 70% (this would put the temperature at about 75 F). Source: http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints/190/ This led me to this calculator that will calculate the temperature given relative humidity and dew point - for example a dew point of 70 degrees F and a relative humidity of 90% results in a temperature of 73.11 degrees F. The web site for this calculator says the values are based on the August-Roche-Magnus approximation and gives the following equation to calculate temperature: $T =243.04 Large fracfrac17.625 TD243.04+TD-lnleft(fracRH100right)17.625+lnleft(fracRH100right)- frac17.625 TD243.04+TD$ Given the equation I'm still having a hard time figuring out...

            I have a recursive function to validate tree graph and need a return condition

            Image
            I have a recursive function to validate tree graph and need a return condition I have a tree graph. Each node has attribute 'amount'. The rule governing the attribute value of root is this, The root 'amount' value is the sum of the 'amount' attribute of each of it's children. This continues to the last node with children. In other words this tree's attributes are unlike a sum tree, because the root node is not the sum of each node in the tree. Here is a toy example as graph G: nodedict = 'apples': 'amount': 5.0, 'bananas': 'amount': 10.0, 'tomato': 'amount': 50.0, 'total_fruits': 'amount': 15.0, 'total_vegetables': 'amount': 9.0, 'carrot': 'amount': 3.0, 'squash': 'amount': 6.0, 'total_fruits_and_vegetables': 'amount': 74.0 edgelist = [('total_fruits', 'apples'), ('total_fruits', 'bananas...
