This is not my typical post - but after flying so much this past quarter I wanted to pass along a few tips for those of you who may be getting ready to go on vacation.
TIP ONE:
Check your bag. So often you are scheduled on a larger plane and end up on a smaller one where the overhead compartments are too small for the normal carry on. It is a hassle to check your bag, but then you can pack liquid in a container larger than a thimble.
TIP TWO:
Bring along entertainment, because chances are your plane WILL be delayed. I consider anything shorter than a 4 hour delay, a blessing!
TIP THREE:
Make sure you bring food on the plane. Often your flight is delayed AFTER you board and if you hit bad weather, you may not even be served drinks. Snacks like dried fruit, granola bars and chex mix can hold you over for hours.
TIP FOUR:
Learn to print your boarding pass off the internet. It saves alot of time at the airport.
TIP FIVE:
Obtain a Passport whether you need one or not. It takes longer than ever to secure a new Passport and you never know when you’ll have the opportunity to travel abroad. (Even Canada requires a Passport)
TIP SIX:
Book the first flight of the day. You will have to get up very early, but your plane is waiting at the gate. As the day goes on, more and more flights are delayed.
TIP SEVEN:
Always check out several sites on the Internet before booking your flight. There are many deals to be found!
TIP EIGHT:
Pack light. Many airlines are charging for your second bag!
Happy Traveling….Barb Bruno
