If your flight is over 1 hour long, I strongly suggest you make this tiny tube of lip moisturizer a part of your carry-on bag. Almost nothing is worse than severe chapped lips in the very dry environment of the plane. Even if your lips are not chapped when you take off, the dry recycled air will do the job quickly! Blistex is tiny, and if you have dry elbows or heals, it can also be used as a skin moisturizer. It is shareable, as you can sqeeze it on to fingers instead of lips, and in very desperate situations, it can be put on the face in small amounts to get rid of that dry, tight feeling. I hope every one will heed this advice; as a veteran flyer, it is a small thing that can make a huge difference! Alice Rathek ID77 - Check In at least 90 minutes before departing (overseas) or you may loose your seat. When you check your luggage, make sure they tag it directly to your destination. If you have to change airlines, you may not have enough time to claim luggage, pass through customs and immigration, and catch your next flight. Grenada Explorer Caribbean Travel Guide Grenada Explorer Caribbean Travel Guide ID1210 - Instead of wasting your time in long queues in front of a check-in counter at the airport, you can check in at home and even print out your boarding pass. 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.
