  • Non-Stop Flights are Faster - and Safer
    - The most dangerous parts of any air flight are landing and taking off. The less stops and layovers, the lower your chance of being involved in flight accidents. Always try to book non-stop flights.

  • Not a Pet-Friendly Airline
    - Southwest Airlines is NOT pet friendly! They do not allow pets as cargo or in the cabin as other airlines do. We fly with our 2 little 4-lb. Yorkies and usually check them in as carry-on baggage. We ran late on a Southwest flight and just carried them on without checking them in. When the flight crew saw we had a pet, they notified the ground crew in Boise where we had a scheduled stop and made us get off the flight! They said they could not jeopardize the safety of 135 passengers for one. What do they know that all the other airlines don't?! I will never fly Southwest again with or without my babies!

  • Pack Disposable Earplugs
    - I have found it to be really helpful to carry disposable earplugs when I fly. Using them reduces the stress associated with flying - particularly if you are unfortunate enough to be sitting near a crying child.

  • Pack Jewelry in Your Carry-On
    - If you must take expensive jewelry items, make sure they are securely packed in your small carry on. I always carry a medium leather backpack in which I keep these items. It can easily be placed safely under the seat in front of you and carried easily to the restroom as well. I also include a lightweight change of clothes, a nightie, and toothbrush/toothpaste ... who knows where your other luggage may end up!

  • Pack Refreshments and Snacks
    - Bring your own sandwich and juices on the flight. Many times you will be served with the usual peanuts and cup of juice, or on long-haul flights, you could wait a long time for that food cart to reach you. This way you can eat what you like, when you like. I sometimes bring Chinese food (with chopsticks) on my 7-hour flights.
