26 27 28 [Next] - If you don't want to stand around in an airport for 3 hours trying to find transportation to your destination, and you don't want to spend a fortune, a bus or airport shuttle is the way to go. Most large airports have them. To shorten the time even more, call ahead and reserve one. It doesn't cost extra. The companies are not all the same, so try to get a recommendation from a local travel agent. Also, when you make your reservation, make sure you find out WHERE to catch your ride. Airports are large and confusing, but most have specific signs for transportation services. Make sure you're at the right bus stop. Frank Blakely, Southern California Coach ID1182 - 1. When travelling by car to the airport, have someone take you and drop you off, then return the car to your house. 2. Check with the airport and online for the various parking fees - i.e. short, long, economy, and off-airport parking. 3. Check with local hotels about leaving car in their parking lot and what they will charge, then use their shutttle bus to get to the airport. Carolyn Rapolas ID2175 - Wear fire retardant clothing, like wool, when travelling. Nylon and synthetic clothing such as panty hose can melt to your skin if you are caught in a fire on board. Niki Steadman ID1197 - If you have a scale at home, and you know what the weight limit is, then you can weigh your bags at home - and if your bag is too heavy, then you need to lighten your load by removing non-essential items. Sabrina Oettle ID1188 - 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.
