Making the Best of Summer Air Travel
Mission Viejo,
June, 2008 - Even when your cruise vacation is everything that you
dreamed it would be, traveling to and from the ship can be challenging
if you go by air. Unfortunately, the forecast for air travel this
summer includes crowded planes, delayed flights and frustration levels
that rise with the temperature. Cruise Holiday offers some tips that
will help you enjoy your entire vacation from start to finish – not just
the part on the cruise ship.
·
Consider flying to your departure port in the middle of
the week, when passenger loads tend to be lighter. It is also a good
idea to fly in early: you won’t miss your cruise ship’s launch due to
flight delays, and you may have time to explore the city.
·
Nearly all airlines now charge baggage fees, some based on
the weight of your luggage and some based on the number of bags you
have. So, the best approach is to pack light. You can also ship your
luggage to your departure port; some travelers find the cost of shipping
their luggage ahead to be worth the convenience of passing through
airports without multiple bags in tow. Always keep your photo
identification, medicine, jewelry, cell phone, cameras and film in your
carry-on bag, not in checked or shipped luggage.
·
Remember the Transportation Safety Administration’s 3-1-1
rule for any liquids or gels you carry on board. Liquids and gels must
be in containers that are three ounces or smaller; all of your
containers of liquids or gels must be placed in a one
quart-sized, clear plastic, zip-top bag; and you are allowed one
such bag, which must be screened at an airport security checkpoint.
·
Instead of driving yourself to the airport and leaving
your car there, ask a friend to take you (and to pick you up upon your
return). Or, treat yourself to a limo ride to and from the airport.
You won’t have to worry about fighting traffic or paying for
parking.
