25 26 27 28 [Next] - Air cabin pressure is very dry. Be sure that you clean your contact lenses thoroughly before you fly to avoid eye irritation. Use lubricating drops recommended by your optometrist to keep your eyes moist during the flight - and remember to blink! Harry Saunders ID2048 - If you want the airlines to pay you, try getting bumped when you fly. Do it this summer when there are more people traveling, travel on a Friday, going to a city like Miami, one where people have to be there on time to catch their Saturday morning cruise boat, etc. The more urgent the need for your seat the more the airline is willing to pay. I have seen a family of 4 make over $1000 for the inconvenience of getting on the next flight after only an hour wait. Read my 'Bumped' Article that was picked up by the Chicago Tribune and 20 other newspapers across the country. Fly Free, Stay Cheap! Fly Free, Stay Cheap! ID507 - The Travel and Safety Administration in the USA has worked with several companies to develop locks that security officers can open with special master keys. Be sure that you use these TSA-approved locks for your luggage, backpacks, computer bags, etc. Not using them may cause delays, and your non-approved locks may end up being destroyed. Perry Duncan ID2052 - Upgrade as early as possible. Upgradable seats are limited. Try to upgrade as soon as you book your flight or as soon as you are allowed to upgrade according to the frequent flyer program's rule. Some airlines upgrade you right away; others automatically upgrade you at a set amount of time before departure, yet others require you to call or logon to request the upgrades when the upgrade window opens. UpgradeBuddy.com UpgradeBuddy.com ID1473 - If you are a frequent business traveler I suggest always going with an e-ticket rather than a traditional paper ticket. I once had my corporate travel agent book my flight with a paper ticket, and it was sent to my home address. I'm home very infrequently and I didn't get the paper ticket in time. When at the airport, while waiting for them to clear up the problem of my not having a paper ticket in hand, I missed the connecting flight.
