Prevent Lost Luggage



I travel almost weekly with my job and have had my share of lost luggage. Because my luggage carries work related materials, it is important that it is located as quickly as possible. Tips to ensure this are:
  • Purchase luggage that is a color other than black - because with the high percentage of black luggage out there, yours will stand out.
  • Always put a strap around your luggage. Once again, this makes your luggage stand out.
  • Carry a photograph of your luggage. I have had numerous misplaced baggage agents tell me this makes the location easier.

Not a Pet-Friendly Airline



Southwest Airlines is NOT pet friendly! They do not allow pets as cargo or in the cabin as other airlines do. We fly with our 2 little 4-lb. Yorkies and usually check them in as carry-on baggage. We ran late on a Southwest flight and just carried them on without checking them in. When the flight crew saw we had a pet, they notified the ground crew in Boise where we had a scheduled stop and made us get off the flight! They said they could not jeopardize the safety of 135 passengers for one. What do they know that all the other airlines don't?! I will never fly Southwest again with or without my babies!

Keep Your Valuables Safe



Be sure to keep your valuables (passport, tickets, and wallet) in a small waist pack or pouch so that you can carry it around your neck or middle. Especially in busy airports you should never put these valuables in your backpack or purse. Criminals have lots of handy ways to unknowingly get into your backpack or snatch your purse. Be careful!

Keep in Shape While you Travel



Walk the airport! Great way to exercise, the people-watching is great, and it makes the upcoming flight much more bearable. So many great airports with wonderful sights and sounds ... Skip the airport TVs and bars, and hit the ground. Dallas, Atlanta, and Las Vegas are my favorites. Oh, and skip the escalators and use the stairs.
