Depending on your connection and the lay-over time between flights, anywhere form 4 hours to 5 hours. Shopping around with different airlines can change your pricing as well as your lay-over/wait time. Good luck.

How to stop excess anxiety on soon 3hr airplane flight

How to stop excess anxiety on soon 3hr airplane flight?
Sometimes in flight I worry about having a heart problem even though I don't and my doctor said mine is fine. I do have diagnosed anxiety/depression (Generalized Anxiety Disorder and OCD) and mild depression because of it and take about 40mg fluoxetine (Prozac generic) daily which has helped a lot. I'm soon going with my family on an airplane trip and don't want my heart to beat too fast on the airplane but ironically this worry/focus makes it beat faster haha. I had this worry before and made it fine on a 7hr Tokyo to Honolulu flight and this time it'll be a 3hr Minneapolis to San Antonio flight. What can I do to be less anxious about my heart and have more positive focus? That is my only anxiety is that I'll have problems like that on the flight.

There are several prescription and over the counter remedies for anxiety disorders, the best of which I have only used recreationally, but Xanax is prescribed for it. A stiff drink usually knocks out any reservations I feel when flying, I usually am the only one cheering on the turbulence, but then again, I was the only one laughing while the guy hit the prop in the movie titanic.
2 :
I'd use dramamine since it helps with motion sickness and calms the body down quite a bit.

The only permanent solution is removing the root of your fears. Maybe psycho-therapy. A quick fix is of course a stiff drink or some beers before boarding the plane. However, I'm not an expert and I doubt that other posters here are. You should discuss this with your doctor.

On a Delta flight from San Antonio with a connection through Atlanta, am I allowed to check 2 bags free or 1

On a Delta flight from San Antonio with a connection through Atlanta, am I allowed to check 2 bags free or 1?
I'm traveling on a flight from SAT to Madrid with a connection in Atlanta and thus far I haven't received a great answer from the Delta website. I just want to know if I can check 2 bags free or just one?

Because your final destination is Madrid, the checked baggage policy for flights between the US and Europe apply. According to Delta's website, this means you can check one bag for no charge and a second bag for $50 if paid online of $55 if paid at the airport.
2 :
You may check one bag free of charge in SAT. A second bag will cost you $55, but you can get a discount by prepaying the second bag online.

No. Airlines do not compensate for "acts of god" aka weather. You're lucky they put you on a flight the next morning...I was once delayed for 3 days due to a single night of fog.
2 :
No. Weather delays are out of the airline's control and in the US, travellers are not compensated for weather-related expenses.
3 :
The only time an airline is required to compensate you is if the delay/cancellation was due to a factor under their control. Unfortunately, they are not required to do anything for you.
4 :
The airlines are not obligated to pay for a room stay or food vouchers when your delay is due to weather or air traffic because it is a delay that is not in their control. If your flight was delayed or cancelled under what would be their control, i.e maintenance or crew delaly, they would put you up for the night. Unfortunately you're stuck with the cost of the night stay in the hotel
