24 25 [Next] - When booking a flight through a travel agent, double check with the airline that the travel agent has given you the correct luggage allowance. I was told that I was only allowed 1 piece of checked luggage and 1 hand luggage at a combined max weight of 50 lbs. I had not flown before and didn't susupect that this was wrong, but it turned out that the luggage allowance was actually 3 pieces with a total max combined weight of 183 lbs. - 70 lbs. per checked piece and 43 lbs. per hand luggage. 21-Apr-2001 Amanda Mazur ID54 - Wear clothes that are stylish and slightly businessy, but not too 'businessy' (think blazers and bluejeans). Too businessy comes across as arrogant, not businessy enough comes across as tourist. Always think in layers. You never know what the temperature in the terminal and the airplane will be. Take a blazer even in summer, and always wear long pants. By the same token, always wear short sleeves, even in the dead of winter. 14-Feb-2002 Catherine Lee ID444 - To travel with a backpack gives the freedom to use both your hands. Important to consider: A 65 liter pack, with front zipper to access contents at bottom of pack without unpacking, is plenty big enough to travel 30 days, in both hot and cold weather including heavy footwear. Pack a day pack in your main pack. At the airport remove and use it as carry on luggage with essentials for several days should the main pack get lost. Make sure your pack has a high quality suspension system. 1-Jan-2000 Pinebrook Bed and Breakfast, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada ID1217 - If you're a window seat flyer special note when flying AirTran airlines. The newer Boeing 717 planes they use have a peculiar seat support system that limits the window seat passenger's leg room when combined with the curve of the fuselage of the plane. There are two seat supports for the seats in front of you. Not a big deal - except on long flights for 6 footers plus. I suppose this would be the same on all airlines that use the same age Boeing 717 aircraft, but AirTran is the only one I've flown with the space limitation. I'm switching to aisle seats on AirTran. 24-Dec-2002 Bob McConnell ID1426 - Do not put your homeopathic medicines or supplements containing enzymes through the x-ray machines - ask for them to be hand searched instead. 3-May-2001 H.
