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. 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. Catherine Lee ID444 - When traveling with a partner, choose your seat on your flight wisely. If you are in a 3-seat by 3-seat configuration, choose 2 aisle seats instead of an aisle and a middle or window and middle. You will still be able to talk to each other, but will also have alot more room to enjoy the flight. If you are traveling in a 2-seat by 3-seat by 2-seat, you can take a chance and book the 2 aisle seats in the 3-seat configuration. If the flight is not fully booked, you may end up with a free seat between you. If the middle seat is booked, then I am sure whoever has the middle seat will trade with you to get an aisle seat. Always see if you can get the bulkhead seat or an emergency exit for more leg room. And check for the best seats at seatguru.com. Find more excellent vacation ideas at excellent-vacation-ideas.com. Melanie ID2131 - 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.
