ID406 - When asked if you want window or aisle seats, ask for exit seats. Now you won't have that annoying seating row in front of you. You'll get the same legroom in coach as in first class. On top of that, the toilet is right next to you. Really makes a difference on those 12-hour flights. 1-Jan-2000 Richard Gao ID1215 - It would be best to have a few items of clothing in your hand luggage, at least to ensure you have a change of clothing for two days. This is just in case your luggage has another destination in mind (some of my luggage has travelled to places I have never been). While most of the airlines will provide you with some means of purchasing the basic necessities, if you happen to arrive at your destination on a weekend or public holiday, this may not be possible. Lost luggage will usually take a day or two to show up, so plan with that in mind. Grenada Explorer Caribbean Travel Guide 18-Dec-2003 Grenada Explorer Caribbean Travel Guide ID1211 - There have been a few instances of airline power adapters not working with in-seat power sources. This can happen when an adapter is required to produce the fully rated 70 watts to fast charge the internal laptop battery but the in-seat power system is not designed to produce that much power. With an adapter efficiency of 90%, the 70-watt load tries to pull 78 watts from the in-seat power unit, and it safely shuts down. The safety circuits in the adapter also sense the overload and also safely shut down. This can happen with any of the in-seat power systems that have current limited outputs of around 5 amps (Note that 5 amps at 15 volts = 75 watts). This can also happen with any brand of power adapter and with any laptop that draws up to 70 watts. Many of the in-seat power systems were designed when laptops used between 54 and 60 watts. The need for higher power was not foreseen by the airlines. Solutions:
13-Dec-2003 Tim - LaptopUSB.com ID204 - Don't pay for airport or port parking charges. Use an airport transfer service, which will take you and collect you from the airport etc. from outside the terminals, and can carry your party in one car/bus for a fraction of the price of taxis, trains, and buses. Find them local in your area in most directories or newspapers in the summer months. 13-Dec-2003 Vanessa Devey.
