Do I need to confirm my reservation?
|
Yes, it never hurts to confirm your reservation
directly with the Airline, especially if you depended on someone
else to book that reservation. This will give the Airline the
opportunity to update to any changes in flight information. Verify
all your ticket information, including the spelling of your name.
You also want to verify that any special requests are listed on
your reservation.

How can I avoid long waits at
the airport?
|
-
Before you leave for the airport, call the
Airline for an update on the flight schedule. It could save
you hours of lobby waiting, especially if weather conditions
are poor. But, stay updated and still allow yourself plenty
of time to make it to the airport when the flight is ready.
Late flights will mean an even more crowded airport with longer
lines everywhere.
-
Look at the airport's layout in advance
to get an idea where you are going. Go To: US
Airports &
Foreign Airports Links
-
Consider using curbside check-in, this way
you can avoid the long lines at the counter.

What should I do if I call and
find out my flight is delayed?
|
-
If your flight is delayed, get the name
of the Airline's agent and have them note on their computer
that you are going to show up for the later flight time.
-
If you think the flight is late, but the
Airline won't confirm this information go to the airport anyway.
You may have to wait, but you don't want to forfeit your rights
to the ticket because you didn't show up on time.
-
Remember to update your rental car and hotel
reservations to let them know you'll be later then planned.
Otherwise, you may find that since you didn't show up on time
someone else has your car and your room.
