Airline Travel Tips That Help You Save Time, Money, and Effort
These airline travel tips could determine the success and quality of your
trip or family vacation. You can also help grow this advice list by
sending me your favorite air travel tip.
You could say this is travel advice that especially families traveling
with young children need to heed. I consider all these suggestions to be
important...
...and you will see why.
-
Confirm your flight time before you leave home. You do not want to reach
the airport, only to find your flight canceled or delayed. Check your
schedule online, or by phone.
-
Recheck all documents (passports, visas, proper identification) that will
need to be presented before boarding and on landing.
-
Anticipate and make time for unexpected delays. Traffic and extra security
screening at airport check-in can add minutes (even hours) to your time to
get to boarding your flight.
-
Know what to expect at the airport. This is the "post 9-11" era. You may
have to take off your shoes, open (and sometimes turn on) your electronic
gadgets.
-
This airline travel tip could save time and prevent potentially
embarrassing searches. Do not make last minute travel arrangements
unnecessarily or
change your reservation at the last minute. These and other behaviors
could trigger a security flag and cause you to be selected for further
security screening at the airport.
-
Carry any medication you may need on your trip in carry-on luggage. The
atmosphere/temperature conditions in the cargo area is not guaranteed.
Also, your medication could be lost or delayed with your luggage. Keep
them with you.
-
Do electronic check-in from home. It's easier. Some airlines allow you to
print your boarding pass on your home computer. Use this convenience and
same time standing in line at the check-in counter.
-
Travel light. I hate to take things on my vacation and not use them. Extra
clothing, books, kids' toys, etc can all make bulkier luggage. If you are
traveling with very young children, you need your hands free from extra
luggage. At the same time, be sure to anticipate kids clothing needs.
Family vacation time should be a momentous time. If you can avoid the
hassles that often come with air travel, you are on your way to
experiencing a great family adventure.
