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 - Here are a few luggage-related tips that will help when travelling by air: 1) Always find out what the limits are in terms of size, weight and contents for hand baggage; 2) Be aware that all your luggage may be opened by airport security staff; 3) Always ensure that your checked in bags are easily identified when on a luggage carousel; 4) Make certain that your baggage will not become snagged due to protrusions or straps when on the luggage conveyor system; 5) If you are carrying a laptop you will need to keep it with you as hand luggage; 6) Put all your valuables in your hand luggage; 7) Be prepared for baggage loss by ensuring you have essentials in your hand luggage. Be aware that you can save a fortune on Glasgow airport parking by booking in advance. Mark Miwords ID2205 - 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.
