Checking In for Your Flight: It’s All in the Bag
Summary
Arriving at the airport marks the beginning of your vacation. Whether it’s stressful or smooth is entirely up to you.Key Considerations
1. Arrival Time: Arrive at the airport 2 hours early for domestic flights and 3 hours early for international ones. Have your ticket, ID, passport, and visa (if needed) ready.
2. Avoid Last-Minute Check-In: Late check-ins increase the risk of your luggage not making the flight. Missing the airline's check-in deadline can also release them from liability if your bag is delayed or lost.
3. Flight Choices: Choices for minimizing baggage issues range from safest to most risky:
- Nonstop flights
- Direct/‘through’ flights (stops but no plane change)
- Online connections (change of aircraft, same airline)
- Interline connections (change of aircraft and airline)
4. Luggage Policies: Check your airline’s baggage weight restrictions and be ready to pay for any excess.
5. Baggage Preparation:
- Remove straps and hooks from bags.
- Ensure destination tags are correct and obtain stubs for each bag.
- Keep stubs until you retrieve and verify your luggage.
6. Customs Considerations: Luggage may be checked only to an intermediate stop if you need to clear customs or transfer between airlines without an agreement. Remove old tags to prevent confusion.
7. Arriving at Your Destination:
- Identify the correct conveyor belt for your luggage.
- Use identifying markers on your bags.
8. Customs and Immigration:
- Don’t open suitcases until instructed.
- Cooperate with officers for a quick process.
- Be truthful on customs forms to avoid trouble.
Once you’ve retrieved your bags and cleared customs, your vacation can truly begin!
