  • Allow for Delays Between Flights

  • - Avoid booking flight segments close together. Major airlines consider a connection as tight as 35 minutes to be a valid connection, but this is often not enough time if there are long lines at security! If travel time is not critical, consider allowing at least 2 hours to make each connection. If you are not delayed, you can use this slack time to eat at the airport, where the food is likely many times better than what you may (or may not!) get in the air. (Most major American airports do not require a re-screening if you are merely changing flights, as long as you don't leave the secure area.)

  • Another Use for Bookmarks

  • - I've got a couple of plastic encased bookmarks--the paper part is inside a plastic pouch that's open at the top. You can buy these type of bookmarks at most large bookstaores. I can slip my driver's license and any tickets for gate checked bags inside it, then slip the bookmark into the pocket of the boarding pass folder.

  • Are You Willing to Drive a Little to Save a Lot?

  • - If someone gave Grandpa and Grandma 16 $100-bills, would they drive 64 miles?

    Their first grandson has arrived and Grandpa and Grandma want go to Detroit as soon as they can and need the following itinerary:

    Raleigh/Durham to Detroit: Monday, December 10
    Detroit to Raleigh/Durham: Friday, December 14

    Lowest fare is $1080 round trip per person / $2,160 round trip for 2

    If they can save some money, Grandpa and Grandma are willing to drive a little.

    A check of alternate cities for Detroit:

    Flint, Michigan is just 64 freeway miles Northwest of Detroit at $234 round trip per person / $469 per couple. If Grandpa and Grandma fly to and from Flint instead of Detroit, they save $1,691!

    I don’t know where you shop, but where I do $1,691 will buy a lot of diapers.

    Can you save money? Choose your city and check it out! http://www.terrytrippler.com/drive_a_little_save_a_lot.htm

  • Ask for Exit Seats

  • - 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.

  • Atlantic Flights

  • - 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.
