18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 [Next] - 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! Yolanda Davis ID1201 - 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. Randolph Myers ID1208 - 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! Kokoke Lani Bed & Breakfast Inn, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii ID1216 - 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. Jeffrey Widen ID1196 - I have noticed from being a pilot myself and from flying on airlines, that during the part where the pilot will give special verbal instructions, many people tend not to listen. Pay attention to all instructions and advice for all types of travel, even if it sounds like something you think you know already. This may prevent a scare when something 'unexpected', like an abrupt pull-up or short nosing down occurs, because you will be aware of it before it happens. There is plenty of time to converse when in the air or once you're on your cruising way.
