You can minimize jet lag by scheduling a flight that will arrive at night so you can go to bed as soon as you arrive.

Getting the Best Prices

When checking air fares, get prices from different departure and arrival airports if possible.

Getting Bumped

Usually, the first passengers to get bumped are those who check in late and those flying on discounted tickets. Be sure to arrive early and check in as soon as you are allowed.

Preventing Jet Lag

Jet lag can be prevented or at least minimized by sleeping on long flights and by doing some isometric exercises during the flight.

Things to have at check-in

When you check-in at the airport, have a current photo ID and have your airline ticket issued in the name on your ID. If for some reason your name has changed since you purchased your ticket, have documentation of the change (e.g. a marriage certificate). On international flights, be sure the name on your passport matches the name on your ID and ticket.

Hazardous Items

Except for toiletries and medicines totaling no more than 75 ounces, it is illegal and dangerous to carry on board an airplane or check in your luggage aerosols, corrosives, flammables, explosives, radioactives, compressed gasses, infectious substances, and/or poisonous materials.

Stowing your Wheel Chair

You can request your folding wheelchair be stowed in the coat closet on board most airplanes. The closets only hold one chair so arrive early and make your request.

Children in Safety Seats

If you are traveling with a child in a safety seat, be sure to check the airline's rules for using the safety seat during take-off and landing.

Stowing Wheel Chairs

If your wheelchair is to be stowed in the baggage compartment, be sure your name and address are attached and that it has a gate delivery tag.
