Carry-on Luggage - What Items are Now Permitted... Jun 6th 2013, 11:01 There has been a lot of backlash directed at the TSA for banning items such as pumped breastmilk amounts of over 3 ounces when a woman was traveling without her infant. Millions of dollars worth of lighters also made their way into TSA bins. But guess what? Like many things in the air travel industry, these regulations are changing again and there is INCREASED flexibility in items that may be toted in your carry-ons. Lighters and breastmilk can be brought on board. Strange combo? But seriously, the TSA has confiscated millions of lighters and has gotten into some hot water for confiscating the pumped breastmilk of mothers who have had to travel for business or whatever other reasons without their infants - and pumped breastmilk takes time and energy and should never have been banned as carry on since it could easily be spoiled in checked luggage. It's important to note that depending on the country you travel to their may be some differences in what you can bring on board, which are highlighted below. In the U.S. corkscrews are allowed for carry-on, whereas in Canada corkscrews are only permitted in checked luggage. Toy weapons are banned as carry on in the U.K., Canada, and other countries, but only true-looking replicas are banned in the U.S.. Metal nail files are nearly universally banned, but nail clippers with no metal nail file are not. Any doubt of what you can or can't bring can be taken away by following the links to some of the government websites about airport security screening. Any further doubts? Then it is a good idea to call the airline directly as they will outline what can/not be brought on board, and can advise you not only about banned potential weapons, but about what the airline considers dangerous goods as well.

Air Travel with a Toddler - Tips and Advice for... Jun 5th 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 with an Infant Jun 2nd 2013, 11:02 One of the more complicated aspects of air travel, is flying with an infant. With limited space on board, air pressure changes that hurt the little one's ears, endless announcements in the terminal, and bright lights all around, the air travel experience can be difficult on both the very young passenger and the parent. Airlines may be baby-friendly enough, but that isn't always the experience with fellow passengers. It can be a very stressful time for a new parent traveling with the under 2 set. Flying with the youngest passengers does require extra time and planning. I've written the following series of articles to help make air travel with an infant a little less stress-filled - Survival Tips for Air Travel with an Infant - Planning Stages - required documents, infant airfares, baggage allowance, what to bring on board, when to fly.
