If you travel with hand luggage only, you can proceed directly to the security check and if you travel with luggage, you will find special "drop off" counters for passengers already holding such a boarding pass. The queues here are normally much shorter than all the other queues. However, who can remember all the different websites of the airlines? One website offers a fast connection to the specific check-in page of most airlines. The service is free and you only have to remember one site for all airlines. Try worldwidewebcheckin.com. Tilo Weger ID2158 - During airline check-in, especially for flights originating from airports outside the US, check the airline destination tag. If not, your luggage may end up in MNL (Manila) instead of MIA (Miami); DKR (Dakar, Senegal) instead of DAC (Dhaka, Bangladesh). E. Ramirez ID81 - Before you leave, call the airline and reconfirm your flight(s) and leave a phone number where you can be reached. Once you arrive at your destination, contact the airline again and reconfirm your return flight and leave a phone number where you can be reached. We don’t care what anyone tells you, it is important to reconfirm your flights. Way too many air travelers have had way too many trips interrupted or ruined by airline schedule changes, lost reservations or reservation errors than anyone in the airline / travel industry will ever admit! Trust us on this one folks! Reconfirm! Reconfirm! Reconfirm! Get to the airport early (2 1/2 hours before domestic flights and 3 1/2 hours before international flights). If you are planning to carry-on gifts, make sure they are unwrapped, or they will be unwrapped for you at security. (USPS, UPS or FEDEX sounds great!) Believe it or not some jewelry can be a problem. A beautiful broach (with a long pin) could be disallowed as carry-on. Can it be put in checked baggage? Yes, BUT the airlines are not responsible for the loss of jewelry in checked baggage. Trippler and Associates, Inc. Trippler and Associates, Inc. ID409 - Book all flights with at least 2 hours between, because if you have a delay, the airline has to get you the next possible flight + hotel + dinner, if there is no flight on the same day. If, however, you do not have at least 90 minutes before your flights are scheduled to board, then the airlines will consider it to be your fault and will not reimburse you for a missed connection. Grenada Explorer Caribbean Travel Guide Grenada Explorer Caribbean Travel Guide ID1212 - If you have any kind of problem on a flight, report it to flight attendants, counter staff, and other front line personnel. However, do not stop there. Usually the results will be minimal or non-existent. Instead, contact the airline's toll-free number or e-mail, and follow up by mailing copies of documentation to their postal address. Be specific with dates and times, and offer a realistic problem solution that will settle everything to your satisfaction.
