Slip-ons please…..

Posted by Staff in Flying, Packing, Tip of the Week

Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the past seven years, you are probably aware of the extra security measures travelers are subjected to in order to get to their destinations.

Although these extra steps we have to take are tiring, they are for our safety and should be taken seriously. 

Even though it is common knowledge that we now have to remove shoes to get through airport security, time after time I find myself in line behind someone that chose to travel with intricately laced shoes that where not meant to be removed and quickly put back on.

So let me get to the point…….WHERE SLIP ONS WHEN YOU FLY!!!!!! It makes the security line go faster and it is more comfortable.

Carry-on separation anxiety

It is a good idea to also place a luggage tag on your carry-on.

You never know when your bag might get seperated from you (like accidentally leaving it on the plane), and without a tag it can never find it’s way home.

I guess you can train it to leave behind a trail of breadcrumbs as well : )

Avoid the big guys….

Next time you are booking a flight, consider flying into a smaller airport.  

For example fly into Burbank instead of LAX in Los Angeles…..or Gatwick instead of Heathrow in London.

Many times a cheaper fair can be found at the small, leaser know airports.

Travel tip of the day….

Confirm your flight the day before!  It is cheaper for airlines to have a few angry customers than to have a half empty flight and waste jet fuel.  And now with the price of fuel, expect cancellations to happen more.  Save yourself the misery of arriving at the airport and finding out your flight has been nixed.
