Air Travel: What's Hot Now: How Much Stuff Can I Check In

Air Travel: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

How Much Stuff Can I Check In Mar 30th 2013, 11:01 Airlines have decreased luggage allowances a lot over the years. I've worked for the same airline for over a dozen years and seen the permitted free allowance simply drop. Those least affected - executive/business/first class airfares, or top tier frequent flyer members who have long enjoyed a bit more flexibility with luggage. Now you may not be able to take a surfboard, or a larger stroller, where you once could. Unless otherwise noted, wheelchairs are checked in as free baggage, and do NOT count toward the free luggage allowance. Some airlines allow strollers for free. Most airlines, regardless of excess baggage fees that you may be willing to pay, will not accept bags that weigh more than 100lbs as checked luggage. So what is an air traveler to do? It is a case of trying to keep up with the tightening luggage policies of the airlines. The following policies are for passengers traveling in economy class, and are not top tier frequent flyer members: American Airlines American Airlines Checked-In Luggage and Excess Luggage Fees and Allowances American Airlines Checked-in Strollers, Car Seats, Mobility Devices and Sports Equipment Fees and Allowances United Airlines United Airlines Checked-In Luggage and Excess Luggage Fees and Allowances United Airlines Checked-in Strollers, Car Seats, Mobility Devices and Sports Equipment Fees and Allowances Delta Airlines Delta Airlines Checked-In Luggage and Excess Luggage Fees and Allowances Delta Airlines Checked-in Strollers, Car Seats, Mobility Devices and Sports Equipment Fees and Allowances Continental Airlines Continental Airlines Checked-In Luggage and Excess Luggage Fees and Allowances Continental Airlines Checked-in Strollers, Car Seats, Mobility Devices and Sports Equipment Fees and Allowances US Airways US Airways Checked-In Luggage and Excess Luggage Fees and Allowances US Airways Checked-in Strollers, Car Seats, Mobility Devices and Sports Equipment Fees and Allowances Alaska Airlines Alaska Airlines Checked-In Luggage and Excess Luggage Fees and Allowances Alaska Airlines Checked-in Strollers, Car Seats, Mobility Devices and Sports Equipment Fees and Allowances Northwest Airlines Northwest Airlines has merged with Delta Airlines and shares the same policies regarding luggage.

Air Travel: What's Hot Now: Air Travel with a Toddler

Air Travel: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Air Travel with a Toddler Mar 28th 2013, 11:01 Flying with children of any age can be a stressful experience. Not only do you have to worry about how they feel and behave, but also how others around you react. This has to be especially true for toddlers - with all their new-found skills for running and talking and moving about - a confined space, teeming with unfamiliar faces and surroundings does not sound ideal. So traveling with a toddler definitely presents its challenges, but planning ahead may give you at least a chance at a smooth flight. Scotty Kober who developed I'm A Good Little Traveler!DVD Toolkit Series has had a great deal of experience as a world traveling mom who didn't want to leave her 3 year old behind! On flying with the younger set she writes: "There is more to flying with toddlers than keeping them entertained and hoping for good behavior on the plane: there are long lines at busy airports, security checkpoint(s), boarding the plane, sitting in confined space that shakes and makes noise, not to mention puts sometimes incredible pressure on little ones' ears, and travel etiquette issues like not kicking the seats in front... all things that don't get addressed in the usual checklists." Kober emphasizes that although airport and airline personnel try to be helpful it is up to the families to prepare their children for the problems that can arise with air travel such as lengthy delays, and long line-ups. Tips for air travel with a toddler as well as other products that can help young children understand what to expect with flying may make for easier travels. Kober developed the Shae by Air DVD Toolkit to look at flying through the eyes of a child, including filming it for their height and eye level. It has features such as a packing list in picture form so the child can see what to pack and participate in preparing for the trip. Amongst Kober's other air travel tips for flying with a toddler are to take the child to the airport prior to your travel date and run through what you'll be doing, and to have your child assist in packing his carry-on bag. Scotty Kober also suggests these sites for more tips and advice for tackling air travel with a toddler: Top 4 Tips for Flying With Kids Flying with Kids > travel planning > countdown checklist Taking the Kids TSA Rules and Airport Security Affect ALL Passengers (regardless of age)!

Air Travel: What's Hot Now: Top 5 Rewards Cards for Travelers

Air Travel: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Top 5 Rewards Cards for Travelers Mar 27th 2013, 11:01 I am not a credit card guru, so when BillShrink.com weighed in with their take on the best credit cards for earning frequent flyer miles, I had to take a look - and am sharing their picks for the top 5 credit cards for air travelers. BillShrink.com is a search engine that helps find the best credit card to match one's personal spending habits. With any of the cards listed below, a complete list of features, as well as the ability to apply for any of the cards, are available at their website. Foreign transaction fee info is added (some companies charge a percentage - a fee - for using their card out of country). 1. Capital One Venture Rewards Card BillShrink's number one choice for reward card. Features include: 2 miles for every dollar spent. 10,000 miles after initial purchase requirements are met. They'll waive the $59 annual fee for the first year. Foreign transaction fee = 0% The 10,000 miles essentially adds up to a $100 credit for any airline ticket purchase. 2. Capital One Orbitz Visa Platinum Capital One Orbitz Visa Platinum is not only about flights, but hotels and car rentals as well. Features: 3 points for every dollar spent on Orbitz booking your flights, hotels and cars 1 point per dollar for all other purchases. And a bit of double dipping - bonus points just for redeeming points. No annual fee. Foreign Transaction Fee = 0% 3. Chase Sapphire Preferred Card Chase Sapphire Preferred Card offers 25,000 miles, which is enough for a free flight within the Continental United States or Canada after spending $3,000 in the first 3 months of having your card.  Other features include: earning 7% interest on your mileage balance, double points for all airfare booked through Ultimate Rewards, and no blackout dates on travel. The $85 annual fee can be waived for the first year. Note the foreign transaction fee is 3%. 4. Discover Escape Card One of Discover Escape Card's unique features is you receive rewards of 1,000 bonus miles for each month you make a purchase during your first 25 months (and again, 25,000 miles is an airline ticket).  Double miles are offered on all purchases, and an additional 2 miles for every $1 spent at ShopDiscover.com. Foreign transaction fee is assessed at 2%. 5. American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Card This card isn't specifically air travel related, however BillShrink gives it high marks overall. You can transfer the points earned with this card to over 30 airline frequent flyer programs. A sign-up bonus of 10,000 points is enough for 3 free nights hotel accommodation (after your first purchase). An additional 2 points for every $1 spent at Starwood.  The $45 annual fee can be waived for the first year.  A foreign transaction fee of 2.7% is assessed where it applies.

Air Travel: What's Hot Now: Book Cheap, Discounted Airline

Air Travel: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Book Cheap, Discounted Airline Mar 27th 2013, 11:01 A look at several online resources, booking engines, and travel agencies for booking airline tickets deals and last minute flights online. 1. FareCompare FareCompare updates its fares constantly. You can also search for the best First Class airfares as well. How is it different from other sites? "FareCompare gets the raw fare data from the airlines directly and we process it several hours before it is available on the online travel agencies and many times the airline sites themselves." What I like about the site is when it finds a deal, it is still there when you try to book it - sometimes even at a lower price. I recently found a special with FareCompare for $471 roundtrip New York - Moscow all taxes and fees in and when I went to see how it would price for booking it, it was even LOWER - $435! 2. FlyCheapo Fly Cheapo details current airfare deals in Europe. Great place to find good prices for travel within Europe. The choices can get overwhelming, and the site does send you to the low cost airline's site to book. What I like about the site is that it can help you find who flies where fast, and gives you a list (and links to the budget / low cost airlines that fly the route). 3. Family Travel Network - Family Deals A collection of current deals for family travel is compiled by the Family Travel Network. The site doesn't just look at flights, but experiences the family may enjoy and provides any promo codes that may apply as well as the link for booking. The only downside is that sometimes expired deals seem to remain on the site for weeks or months. What I like about the site is the variety of family offers, often with hotel / air included. 4. Kayak Kayak maintains a fairly comprehensive list of current airfare and vacation deals. It has a simple, user-friendly interface and scours dozens of sites for the best airfares. What I like about the site is that it is easy to use, and the vacation deals they find are often really good - like nearly 2 weeks in Thailand from the US including hotel / tours / flights and many meals starting at $1200 per person. 5. Orbitz Orbitz often has the lowest airfares you could find. They also are pretty good at alerting you to specials right on their front page, and for things like hotels provide a really decent range of hotels at different price points and ratings. What I like about the site is their price guarantee - it's really solid. "Get a Price Assurance refund if another Orbitz customer books the same flight for less." I also think this policy is truly customer-friendly - "Cancel a ticket online without airline penalties by 10 p.m. CT the next day." 6. Travelocity A huge online booking site. Lots of Hot Deals on flights listed, and updated daily. The site has the feel of an expansive travel agency - so many options to think of, deals to look at, and places to consider. What I like about the site is the sheer variety of flight, vacation, and deal options. It can spur the travel imagination! 7. Travelzoo Deals are to be had here. Lots of great last minute airfares. Solid choice of vacation packages and other specials too. What I like about the site are things like their top deals of the day and top 20 airfares which seem like they were chosen after comparing what is out there. Feels like a lot of the leg work is done for you. 8. Vayama I have mixed feelings about Vayama - on the one hand they often track down amazing airfare deals and on the other those same deals are often gone when you try to book them. So if you hit - great deal. If you miss - a bit frustrating. What I like about the site is its focus on international travel, and several times when I've checked they are able to quote fares that are lower than many of the other big sites out there. 9. Yapta What I like about the site is Yapta tracks airfare price drops and also advises on getting a refund on the difference of your ticket if prices drop. Note that airfare price drops don't always = refund as there has to be availability for your travel dates to have a chance at securing a refund of the price difference.

Air Travel: What's Hot Now: latest airfare specials

Air Travel: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

latest airfare specials Mar 27th 2013, 11:01 A few of the latest airfare specials ready to be booked... JetBlue- has introductory fares on between Burbank California and New York's JFK, described in their latest press release: "The low-fare airline will offer an introductory sale fare between JFK and Burbank of $99 one way, and $119 one way between Burbank and Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, NY, and Burlington, VT. The sale fares must be purchased by March 17 for travel from May 24 through June 16,2005. Seats are limited and customers are encouraged to book early." American Airlines Lowest Fare Guarantee - the press release explains the fine print but essentially AA is guaranteeing the lowest fare, and if you find something that beats it you get a refund for the difference and may be entitled to a $50 travel voucher. United Airlines - and in the vein of American Airlines, United also now offers a lowest airfare guarantee which can mean better airfares for consumers. Spirit Airlines- Chicago to Orlando from $46 one way, limited spring dates for different destinations are available for booking. Excel Airways- lots of sales to points south out of the U.K., flights must be booked by March 4th. Air Canada - fly to India from $1400CAD, on sale until March 8th.

Air Travel: What's Hot Now: Top 10 Rules of Connections

Air Travel: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Top 10 Rules of Connections Mar 26th 2013, 11:01 If you simply take one flight from point a to point b, then you are off the hook and don't have to worry about extra issues that may affect you had you additional connections. Connecting flights, regardless of whether they are with the same or different airlines, entail extra rules and elements that you may want to consider. From making connections to will your luggage be checked through - connections are often a beast! 1. The Rule of Duty Free Buying duty free alcohol or perfume? If you are connecting flights you must pack duty free liquids in your luggage if going through security check points again - usually after customs. So if you are traveling  Frankfurt - Chicago - Sacramento, for example, you'll need to put it in your checked luggage after customs in Chicago. 2. The Gate Change Effect Check your gate number when you arrive in your connecting airport. The airline rep may have given you a number when you checked in, and it may have changed in the interim. 3. The Bad Weather Syndrome In adverse weather check to see if you will make your connection - if not, and it is say a once a day flight and you now need to overnight the airline is not required to cover your expenses for weather issues. This varies depending on where you are traveling in the world (Europe is more strict regarding weather events). 4. The Cancelled Connection Conundrum In adverse weather check to see if your connection is operating, if not it could be a long wait at the connecting airport trying to get out. 5. The Pick-Up Line - for Luggage When you are first checking in your luggage, ask if you need to pick up luggage - ie. clearing customs may affect time needed for your connecting flight. 6. The Terminal Switch and Run Ask if your connection is out of the same terminal as the flight you arrive in on. I have seen lots of people miss flights even with legal connections (what the airline deems enough time - usually based on airport guidelines and airlines create minimum connection times) because of distance between terminals and gates. 7. Help is on the Way If you need assistance to get to your gate check in as much of your luggage as possible. It not only makes it faster to help get you there whether you are on a golf cart or in a wheelchair, but safer too. 8. The Stroller Necessities If you have checked a stroller at the gate make sure they have tagged it to be brought to the door so you have it for your connecting flight. 9. The Change of Venue...and Airport If your connecting flight is at a different airport allot extra time and money. Inter-airport connections can occur between New York's JFK and LaGuardia, and London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports for a few examples. If you are connecting from one airport to another it can cost you not just time, but a cab or shuttle fare too. 10. Getting Through to Your Luggage Make sure your luggage is checked through as far as possible. If you are going from a legacy airline like United Airlines to a low cost one like Aer Lingus your luggage cannot be checked through, and neither can you so you need to give yourself a lot of extra time. I have seen a passenger in her 90s who was booked on American Airlines to Boston connecting with Airtran and the flight to Boston was delayed - luckily the Airtran flight was too, but she was not aware of having to pick up her luggage and check it again, and to check herself in for the flight. Make agents aware of additional airlines you may be connecting with. Air Canada and Delta are not partner airlines but you can check luggage from Atlanta - Toronto - Quebec City.

Air Travel: What's Hot Now: Flights Canceled, Delayed and

Air Travel: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Flights Canceled, Delayed and Mar 25th 2013, 11:01 How has Rule 240 changed? Because Rule 240 deals with cancellations and delays, it is probably the best known of any 'rules' pertaining to the airline industry. What makes defining Rule 240 so troublesome is that since the deregulation of the U.S. airline industry Rule 240 is not a federal requirement. Therefore, if the airline has submitted the rule in their respective contracts (also conditions) of carriage (the ticket is a contractual agreement that an airline and passenger enter regarding the transport of a passenger) then the airline has a Rule 240, but it doesn't have to. A common misconception is that all airlines are required to have a Rule 240, but they do not. And airlines have different versions of Rule 240, making it even more difficult for passengers to know their rights in the event of a delay or cancellation that has been caused by the airline. What is considered the airline's fault regarding delays and cancellations? mechanical problems late arrival of an aircraft pilots or other crew that are not at the aircraft on the time other factors that are within an airline's control What details might a Rule 240 include? A Rule 240 may or may not include the following items: meal vouchers confirmation on the airline's next flight or on another airline option to not travel and obtain a refund hotel accommodation ground transportation phone calls

Part 3: Travel Tips for the Un Mar 21st 2013, 11:01 A few tips for the child traveling alone: Traveling on one's own for the first time can be both nerve-racking and frightening. Prepare a child for the upcoming travel by explaining the details of the trip. Understanding the process will alleviate stress for everyone. A good night's sleep always makes it easier to face the prospect of travel, so try to make sure that the child is well rested. For longer flights, it is a good idea to order a children's meal. If he/she is a fussy eater pack some snacks that will appeal to the child traveling alone. Children often feel better when they have something familiar with them. Pack a favorite item in the child's carry-on so that he/she will feel more comfortable with traveling alone. There are the inevitable delays, so it is always good to pack a book, activity pad, hand held game, etc. Place a brief medical history and a list of phone contacts in the child's carry-on bag. Advise the airline representative of where it can be found. Such information is extremely helpful in case of an emergency. Calling cards are also useful to pack in the child's carry-on Make certain that the person meeting the child at the point of arrival is aware of all the rules involved in the unaccompanied minor process - bringing photo identification, meeting area, etc.. If you are sending a child unaccompanied, it is always a good idea to pack a bit of money for snacks or drinks either on board a flight or during the waiting time between connections.
