Tips For Buying Airline Tickets On The Internet

At some time in your life you are bound to buy airline tickets. It might be to go on a business trip or to visit a loved one across the country.
Figure 8 - At some time in your life you are bound to buy airline tickets
Page 14
2011
No matter what the reason may be, you are going to have to fly and probably buy the tickets yourself. For someone who has never had to deal with buying airline tickets, this might sound like a daunting task but in reality it couldnt be any simpler. Thanks to the Internet, buying airline tickets takes almost no time at all. There are tons of Web sites that do nothing but sell airline tickets and many will sell them to you at a discount. The most important tip to buying airline tickets Online is to know your itinerary. Make sure you know exactly when you want to leave and where you are going. If you need a round trip ticket, make sure it is included so you dont have to buy one later or you may end up stuck for a day or more. Most Web sites let you type in where you are leaving from and where you are going and then choose dates on a calendar. This is very easy to use even for someone without much Internet experience.
Figure 9 - Make sure you know when you want to leave and your destination
Page 15
2011
Another tip is to know all the extra fees involved and determine if your tickets will be sent to you or if you can just pick them up when you get to the airport. Having them sent to you can be a pain if the mail doesnt show up for some reason so it is best to leave them at your airlines ticket counter. When you arrive at the airport, you just tell them your name, check your baggage, and then you are off. Always read the fine print on Web sites. You dont want to pay extra or have to wait 6 hours at 3 different airports to get where you are going.
All Kinds of Ways to Save Money on Airline Tickets

Airline tickets can be pretty expensive if you arent familiar with how airlines price those tickets and why. There are all kinds of ways you can save money when the time comes to buy your airline tickets. You could book them far in advance, choose crappy seats, or subject yourself to many hours worth of layovers at various airports. Sure, not every option is appealing, but once you get where you are going, youll be glad it was so cheap to get there. Booking far in advance is always a good way to save money and also guarantees your spot on that flight. If you hold out for cheaper tickets for too long, you might not be able to get on plane and be forced to loiter at the airport until another flight has an empty seat. Booking in advance is also one of the easiest ways to guarantee you can fly around the holidays. Crappy seats will always knock a few bucks off of an airline ticket.

Nobody wants to sit right by the bathroom in the middle of the aisle. This particular seat usually has a reduced rate if you are flying alone or with a friend but in groups you might get full price.
Figure 10 - Nobody wants to sit by the bathroom in the middle of the aisle
Flying coach is also a great way to save money. You dont really need to be in business class do you? Take both of these and agree to sit a couple hours at each airport between transfers and you can cut the price of your airline tickets in half. Its full price to go from A to B but if you make 3 stops on the way, it gets much cheaper. Just bring along some form of entertainment and you will make it just fine.
For-Sure Good Deals - Buy Airline Tickets Online

Just fifteen years ago there were only two places you could buy airline tickets: At an airport or at a travel agency. You could do this in person or by phone but the results are usually the same. In todays world, you still have those two options but now you can also buy airline tickets from the comfort of your own home by using the Internet.
Page 17

The airport is a no brainer. Of course they will be more than happy to sell you airline tickets. After all, their jobs depend on it. The problem with buying airline tickets at the airport is that it can be a royal pain to park and wander your way around until you reach the airline you wanted to get the tickets from. Its just not worth the hassle unless you live in a smaller town and your airport only has a couple of gates. You still might have to pay for parking though.
Figure 11 Buying airline tickets at the airport can be a royal pain
Travel agencies, though not as popular as they used to be, still exist here and there. Travel agents are more than happy to do the job for you. You dont have to pay them extra either.

Airline tickets can be expensive no matter how you look at it. You might as well explore every option available to see if you can get some good airline ticket deals.

They have been in the business for a long time and often have very close relationships with certain airlines. They usually dont charge you any type of fee so it never hurts to give them a shot. They often know the market well and can predict when certain airline tickets are apt to be on sale or at a good discount. Web sites are the easiest way to find a good airline ticket deal.

Vacations Aren't Cheap - Airline Tickets For Vacation

Finally, its time for you and your family to pack up and go somewhere exciting. This requires a lot of thought and planning if you want everything to go smoothly.
Figure 13 - Its time for your family to pack up and go somewhere exciting!
There are many factors that influence the price of airline tickets but vacation planning usually starts early in the year so you have a head start. Before you pick a date, make sure there arent events happening in the area you want to visit unless you plan to attend those events. Business conferences and sporting events will guarantee you a higher priced hotel room and airline tickets. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 21
2011
Pick a date when nothing is going on and you will get much lower rates on everything. Weekdays are also cheaper than weekends for arrival and departure from the airport. Lets say you decide you are taking the family to Hawaii for vacation this year. You will need to find out where in Hawaii you want to stay, what you are going to do while youre there, and most importantly, how much are the airline tickets going to cost for everyone.
Figure 14 - You are taking the family to Hawaii for vacation this year!
Once you have found a date, you can use the Internet to look for good deals or even deal with a specific airline directly. The Internet is the easiest route and might save you some money. Make sure you buy round trip tickets and if you like, keep the family together in a row or two. You might even be able to find a nice hotel/airfare package deal.
Page 22
2011
Vacations arent cheap, so you might want to find everything available to keep airline ticket prices to a minimum. Every dollar you save on the tickets could be better spent having fun, right?
Figure 15 - Hotel room prices also go up quite a bit on weekends
One final thing to remember and this can highly impact the cost of your trip Hotel room prices also go up quite a bit on weekends due to higher demand.
All Shapes And Sizes - Airline Ticket Package Deals

Before you agree to buy any airline tickets, it never hurts to look around and see if there are any package deals that would be a good bargain. A package deal is when you not only get your airline tickets but maybe you get a free hotel room for a day or discounts to local attractions.
Figure 16 - Maybe youll get a free hotel room for a day!
Page 23
2011
Since you are going there anyway, it never hurts to have some options in the way of entertainment or lodging. Package deals are most commonly associated with vacations and can include anything from coupons to VIP passes. Package deals come in all shapes and sizes and can be influenced by many things.
Figure 17 - Las Vegas - get more with a package deal
Las Vegas builds amazing hotels and rides all the time and one way to promote a new hotel or an attraction is to include it in some kind of package deal. If you were going to fly there and stay at the MGM Grand at regular price but the Luxor will give you a free Hoover Dam tour included in a package deal, many people will opt for the Luxor. Another type of package deal can happen if you are buying many tickets at once. You might be in charge of this for a business or just have a very large family but often you can get a group package deal. Airlines like groups because they spend money in the airport and in the plane and if they have a good experience, they will likely tell someone about it. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 24

This all leads to greater revenue in the long run even if the airline loses a little profit at first.
Awesome, Overlooked Deals - Airline Tickets And Theme Parks

Airlines often give you great deals if you purchase theme park tickets at the same time or plan to stay at a theme parks hotel.
Figure 18 - Disney World is one of the most visited theme parks in the USA
If you take a little bit of time to call around before buying airline tickets to an area with a theme park, you might find some awesome deals that are often overlooked. This is particularly true with Disney World. This can be a great thing if you and your loved ones are planning a long vacation to an area with a theme park or two. Disney World is by far one of the most visited theme parks in the USA. Orlando has a huge airport and hundreds of hotels to accommodate all of the tourists like yourself. The mistake people make is that instead of calling the theme park for deals, they purchase tickets, hotel rooms, and airline tickets separately.
Page 25
2011
Thats an awful idea. If you just take the time to call Disney World itself, they might have some promotion that includes all three. You dont want to end up in a hotel far away either. Orlando has great highways so almost any hotel in the area can claim to be *near Disney.* Theme park hotels can be quite expensive so a reduced airline ticket is always a good thing to look in to. Some of the pricey resorts near theme parks will give you very good deals on airline tickets because they want you to spend your money at their hotels and theme parks instead of on airline tickets. Its just good business. Even if you dont plan to visit a theme park, check into package deals anyway, if it saves you money, you can fly cheap and even sell the park tickets later on.
Travel Scams - Airline Ticket Deals To Avoid

You may have been curious about ads or Web sites that promise no strings attached airline tickets to a great place like Orlando or Hawaii. Some of these might even include hotel rooms! This sounds too good to be true, right? Well, unfortunately, it is. These scams are usually set up by time-share companies and what they dont tell you is that you will be required to attend their seminars every day. You can live with a short seminar right? Think again.

These *seminars* last at minimum 4 hours each day you are there. If you dont attend them, you may not be able to get your free airline ticket home or even have your hotel room canceled. Sure, its sneaky, but legally these companies are doing what they say. They provide free airline tickets with the promise of vacation and in a way they do comply. If you think you can listen to 4 hours of sales pitches every day and still try to have a good time later, go for it. If you know its a bad idea, stay away. Many airline deals center around bad times of year. In the fall, you can see ads for very cheap Caribbean airline tickets.
Figure 20 - What is it that happens in the Caribbean every fall?
Hmm What is it that happens in the Caribbean every fall? Oh yeah! Hurricanes! The chances of a hurricane coming to the exact place you are visiting are pretty slim but if it does happen, you are stuck there for the duration of the storm. Be very careful when drooling over these cheap airline tickets in the fall. The same applies for Japan and nearby islands in the spring. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 27

Todays New Travel Rules

Important Air Travel Rules You Must Know
Are you in the process of planning a family vacation or even a business trip? If so, there is a good chance that you will be concerned with a number of things, namely the proper identification that is needed to board an airplane. Proper identification may get you on the airplane, but it does not necessarily mean that it will get you to your destination. For that, you will need to know and abide by all of the air travel rules.
Figure 21 - You will need to know and abide by all of the air travel rules
When it comes to air travel rules, there are many travelers who automatically assume that they already know what these rules are; however, the reality is that many do not. In fact, there are some many air travel rules to follow, that it is difficult for any one person to know and fully understand them all. This does not mean that you should not familiarize yourself with the rules of air travel; it just means that you should try and focus on the most important ones. One of the most important air travel rules, that you must follow, pertains to the items that are prohibited on airplanes. When further examining these items, you will need to learn which items are only prohibited from being in your carryon http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 28
2011
luggage and which ones are prohibited from airplanes altogether. In your examination, you will likely find that flammable or explosive objects are not allowed on airplanes, under any circumstances. This means that you cannot bring gun powder bombs, flares, or even cigarette lighters aboard a plane. Trying to could not only lead to your items being confiscated, but it could also lead to you missing your flight or being detained by airport security.
Figure 22 - You cannot bring gun powder bombs, flares, or even cigarette lighters aboard
Although the ban of sharp, explosive, and flammable items is considered common sense, there are other bans that are not as easy to know on your own. One of those bans is the current bad on all liquids. This ban only applies to your carryon luggage. It was recently learned that explosives could easily be held or converted into liquids; thus the reason for the ban. This ban not only applies to the food or drinks that you consume, but your health and beauty supplies as well. Instead of carrying these items in your carryon luggage, you will need to put them in your checked baggage. This liquid ban only
Page 29
2011
has a few exceptions, such as baby formula, prescription medication, or small amounts of non-prescription medication. Once you arrive at the airport, the serious air travel rules begin. One of those rules involves airport security checkpoints. All passengers are required to pass through these checkpoints. This is the time where you will need to go through a metal detector and your belongings will need to be scanned by an x-ray machine.
Figure 23 - Once you arrive at the airport, the serious air travel rules begin
But, did you know that this procedure has recently changed? Now, all passengers, unless they are disabled or suffer from a serious medical condition, are required to remove their shoes. Once you remove your shoes, your shoes will be scanned with the rest of your carryon luggage. As previously mentioned, a number of air travel rules are considered common sense. The most important air travel rule, that you should already be aware of, is the need to cooperate with airport security or airline flight crews. In the event that you unsuccessfully try to pass through an airport security checkpoint, you need to stay calm. If it was a mistake, you should have nothing to worry about. Starting a confrontation, whether it is at the airport or in the sky, can lead to serious consequences. Not only may you end up missing your vacation or your business trip, but you may even end up spending the night in jail. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 30

Flying? How to Learn the New Air Travel Rules

Are you preparing to take a flight this year? If so, could you name off all of the air travel rules, including the ones that were recently implemented? You may think that you could, but many travelers actually cant. This is because many are aware of all of the items that are prohibited from being on airplanes. Unfortunately, being unfamiliar with all of air travel rules can spell trouble. Not only can you miss your flight, but you can also be banned from the airline altogether, or you could be arrested. To prevent this from happening, you are advised to learn all of the air travel rules, before you leave for your flight. Learning the new air travel rules seems easy enough, doesnt it?

Luckily you for, if you are interested in familiarizing yourself with the many air travel rules, before you leave for your flight, you have a number of different options.
Figure 24 - Can you name the air travel rules, including ones recently implemented?
Perhaps, the best way that you can learn all of the air travel rules is by contacting your airline directly. This contact can either be over the phone or Online. For instance, if you are planning on flying with Delta Airlines, you will either want to contact a Delta representative or visit their Online Web site. Most airline representatives would be more than willing to assist you and most airline Web http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 31
2011
sites are filled with valuable information, including information on items that are prohibited aboard a plane and other applicable rules. In addition to contacting the airline directly, you may also want to contact the airport in which you will be leaving from. As with airlines, most airport representatives would be more than willing to assist you with any questions that you have, including questions that pertain to air travel rules, restrictions, and violations. There is also a chance that you can find what you are looking for by visiting the airports Online Web site. If you are flying out of an airport for the first time, there is a good chance that you may be looking for information on parking or additional fees. If so, that would be the perfect time the search the Web site for information on airport or air travel rules. If you are unable to make contact with the airport in which you will be flying out of or the airline that you will be flying on, you can also use the Internet to research and familiarize yourself with air travel rules. Perhaps, the Internet is one of the best ways to stay up-to-date on the newer air travel rules, ones that were implemented within recent months. Information on these rules will commonly come up in Online news reports. When searching for new airport or airplane rules with the news, you are advised to keep the news reports date in mind. This may help to prevent you from relying on outdated information. In conjunction with searching news reports for up-to-date information on air travel rules and safety, you may also want to perform a standard Internet search. By searching with the words air travel rules, you should be provided with a number of different results. Those results will likely include Online Web sites that outline the rules and restrictions commonly found in airports and aboard airplanes. You will want to make sure that the Web site, which you are getting your information from, is accurate. One trusted Web site that you may want to get your information from is http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 32
2011
www.tsa.gov. That is the Web site for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). You will want to be careful obtaining your information from anywhere else.
Figure 25 - Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
As previously mentioned, there are a number of different ways that you can go about familiarizing yourself with common air travel rules. When doing so, it is important to remember that different airports and different airlines tend to have different guidelines, rules, and restrictions. Therefore, it may be best if you obtain your information directly from them.
In-Flight Air Travel Rules

When it comes to air travel, a lot of focus is placed on airport security. While the majority of air travel rules are enforced in airports, there are other rules that are enforced in the air. To make the most out of your next business meeting or vacation, you are advised to familiarize yourself with those rules. Doing so will not only allow you to have a pleasant experience, but it will also prevent you from being involved in an unnecessary, but serious incident. As you may have gathered from news reports, one of the biggest problems on airplanes today is uncooperative passengers. An uncooperative passenger can simply be one who needs to go to the bathroom and refuses to wait until it is safe to leave their seat. However, that passenger, along with many others, is largely unaware of the dangers of violating these important, but simple air travel rules. The first rule that you must follow is to follow all rules imposed by your airline. This means leaving your seatbelt on until it is safe to remove it or staying in your seat until it is safe to move around.
Page 33
2011
It is also important that you cooperate with all airline employees, namely flight attendants. If they ask you to do something, such as remain in your seat, you are advised to listen to them.
Figure 26 - In dealing with security, take the straight and narrow road!
Often times, if you do not the situation will get out of hand. A few insulting comments and you could be met at your next boarding gate by airport security or local authorities. Even if you do not consider yourself a threat to other passengers or flight attendants, confrontation in the air is taken seriously; very seriously. It is also advised that you refrain from making any jokes, especially those that involve the use of a bomb or any other weapons. Although you may only be kidding, in todays society, these jokes are taken seriously. In fact, it is advised that you refrain from using the words bomb, gun, or hijacking aboard an airplane. In the event that those words were overheard, whether they were taken out of context or not, they could cause you and other passengers a large hassle. This hassle often involves the de-boarding of the airplane and additional security checks. As previously mentioned, there are serious consequences for violating these air travel rules. Even if it is proven that you are not a threat to yourself, the flight crew, or other passengers, you may still face prosecution. This prosecution may http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 34
2011
include disrupting the peace or inciting panic aboard an aircraft. Just because you know that you are not a threat, does not necessarily mean that everyone else knows the same thing. That is why it is advised that you choose your words and your confrontations carefully, especially when in the air.
Figure 27 - Think before you speak! Choose your words carefully
The above-mentioned in-flight air travel rules are just a few of the many that you must abide by. You will find that most of these rules are not well-kept secrets, in fact, many are simply common sense. If you would like to learn more about the rules enforced in-flight, you are advised to contact each airline directly or use the Internet to your advantage. A simple Internet search should provide you with the information that you were looking to obtain.
The Benefits of Staying Up-To-Date on All Air Travel Rules

Have you flown within the last year? How about within the last month? Even if you have, there is there is a good chance that things have changed since the last time that you were at the airport. While you may be thinking about the airport layout, it is actually the air travel rules that have likely changed. As more security issues arise, often on a daily or weekly basis, the airlines decide to enforce new travel rules. In the event that these new enforcements do go into effect, do you know how to go about finding what they are? http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 35
2011
Before you can learn to familiarize yourself with new air travel rules, if there are any, you will want to understand the benefits of learning those rules. Unfortunately, too many travelers are so worried about having the proper forms of identification that they dont always worry about the items that they pack. If you are one of those individuals, there is a good chance that you may, unintentionally, pack items that are prohibited past airport security checkpoints. Depending on the prohibited item, you may be required to make additional accommodations, discard of the item, or turn it over to airport security.
Figure 28 - Your shoes will be scanned along with the rest of your carryon luggage
In addition to prohibited items, there are also new air travel rules that apply to security screening procedures. For instance, all air travelers are now required to remove their shoes. Your shoes will be scanned along with the rest of your carryon luggage. While this may pose an inconvenience, it is a requirement. Failing to comply with this requirement, as well as others, may lead to you being detained by airport security or local authorities. In addition to missing your flight, you may even face prosecution for your actions. However, this can all be prevented by knowing and understanding the new air travel rules, as well as the old ones. Perhaps, the best way to familiarize yourself with air travel rules is to go directly to the source. That source is the organization that makes and essentially enforces those rules, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). You can obtain http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 36
2011
valuable information from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), including information on air travel rules, by directly contacting them or by visiting their Online Web site. That Online Web site can be found at www.tsa.gov. You are advised to fully examine this Online Web site. You will find that it has a large amount of information that you need to know. In addition to using the Internet to examine the Online Web site of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), you can also use it to perform a standard Internet search. By searching with the words new air travel rules, you should be provided with a number of different results. Those results are likely to include Web sites or news reports with information on air travel, including the rules that are enforced aboard all airplanes or in all airports. When doing this, it is important to keep your source of information in mind. A large number of Web sites with inaccurate, misleading, outdated information can be found Online. It may also be a good idea to contact the airline or airport that you plan on using. This contact can be made over the phone or the same information can easily be obtained Online. Whether you visit the Online Web site of a particular airline or airport or contact their representatives directly, you should be able to familiarize yourself with newly implemented air travel rules. It is also advised that you contact each airline or airport directly because they tend to have different rules. Airport screening procedures may vary from one airport to another, as well as rules aboard particular airlines. With a small amount of time and research, you should easily be able to learn all of the rules of air travel, including the ones that were recently implemented. Not only will doing so make your flight more pleasant, but it will help to reduce wait times and ensure that you will make it to your intended destination. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 37

The Importance of Following the Air Travel Rules

Are you preparing to fly this year? Whether you are scheduling a business trip or a family vacation, there is a good chance that you will want to pack and take a number of your belongings with you. Are you planning on bringing any items with you that are banned? If so, you may want to rethink your decision. As a traveler, you need to understand the importance of following air travel rules, including banned items. Before you can understand the importance of following air travel rules, you need to familiarize yourself with them. You can easily do this by contacting the airline or airport you plan on using. In addition to contacting them directly, you should also be able to find helpful information, including common air travel rules, on their Online Web sites. These Online Web sites, along with other valuable information on air travel, can be found by performing a standard Internet search. In your search you will not only be able to obtain a list of all of the banned items, but you also will learn specific information on those bans and exceptions to them.
Figure 29 - All liquids are currently banned from being stored in your carryon luggage
Page 38
2011
For instance, all liquids are currently banned from being stored in your carryon luggage, but small amounts of baby formula, eye care drops, and prescribed medications are allowed. In addition to information on items that are prohibited aboard an airplane or only allowed in certain plane areas, you can also learn more about the airport security screening process. This may include documents that you need to have handy, as well as the security checkpoints that you will have to go through. Once you have taken the time to familiarize yourself with many of the air travel rules, including those that were recently implemented, you should be able to have a pleasant experience at the airport, as well as aboard your airplane. However, knowing the new rules of air travel simply isnt enough; you also need to follow them. In fact, if you dont follow them you may be in for the shock or surprise of your life.
Figure 30 - Consequences? You may have to book a reservation on another flight
When it comes to not following air travel rules or cooperating with airport security, you will find that there are a number of different consequences. Perhaps the most common consequence is that you will miss your flight. If you are tied up with airport security, they are not required to hold your flight just for you. Therefore you may be required to book a reservation on another flight. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 39
2011
In addition to missing your flight, there is a chance that you could be detained by airport security or local authorities. While it is possible to be detained by airport security or by local authorities, you will find that it is often a rare occurrence. Most airport security incidents can be cleared up in a matter of minutes; however, there is still the chance that law enforcement could intervene. When it comes to banned items aboard a plan, you will not necessarily be detained unless you try to sneak aboard an item that is dangerous or illegal, such as drugs, guns, bombs, or other weapons. In the event you just forgot to take your mascara out of your purse, you will likely just have it taken away from you. As previously mentioned, another air travel rule, aside from leaving prohibited items at home, involves airport security checkpoints. All passengers are required to go through the proper checkpoints and successfully pass through them, before being able to board an airplane. Not only will you be required to hand over your carryon luggage bags, to be properly screened, but you will also be required to walk through a metal detector, as well as take off your shoes. All passengers, including children, need to follow these procedures. In the event that you refuse to, you will not be permitted to board your flight. There is also a good chance that you will be detained by airport security or by local authorities. Essentially, the worst that could happen is that you will be questioned by authorities; however, this questioning may lead to you missing your flight or being banned from flying altogether. Although you may not necessarily be a risk, airport security cannot be sure. That is why they tend to be overly cautious when it comes to air travel rule violations.

Consequences for Violating Air Travel Rules

In recent years, the media has been flooded with examples of security breaches on airplanes and in airports. Although a number of these instances have turned out legitimate, there are others that were simply a mistake. Although you might assume this mistake was made on the part of airport security, most times it wasnt. In many instances, the mistake was made by a traveler; likely a traveler who was unaware of the consequences for not properly following air travel rules. Dont let yourself be one of those travelers. When taking a flight, whether that flight is domestic or international, you are advised to familiarize yourself with all of the air travel rules, including the new ones, before you leave. While many air travel rules can be considered common sense, there are others that are a little bit more difficult to know without doing the proper amount of research. Therefore, before you leave, you are advised to do that research. You can easily determine what items are allowed or not allowed on your flight by contacting your airline or the airport that you are planning to go flying out of. In your quest to understand air travel rules, there will likely be some rules that you will come across that you dont see any point to. Although these rules may appear silly or stupid, you still need to follow them. For instance, there is currently a liquid ban on all international flights and domestic flights. There are a few exceptions, but one of those exceptions does not include drinks for adults. No matter how much you want to have a bottled water with you, it is just not possible. Instead of fighting it, you are advised to live with it because if you dont, you could suffer the consequences. When it comes to violating air travel rules, you will find that there are a number of different consequences for your actions. Honestly, those consequences all depend on which airport you are at, the airline which you are traveling with, the rule that you are violating and your attitude during the ordeal. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 41
2011
The most common consequence is that you will be delayed a short period of time. For instance, if you are trying to bring a soft drink onboard or a cigarette lighter, you may be taken aside for just a moment. That moment will be just long enough for you to hand over the prohibited item and be reminded of the importance of following air travel rules. While many air travelers can get away with a simple warning, there are others who suffer more serious consequences. One of those consequences is being banned from your flight. As previously mentioned, your attitude during the whole ordeal can have a significant impact on the action that will be taken against you. If you are caught carry a prohibited item, you are advised to just turn it over. Although there is a good chance that you may not get your nail cutters, your favorite cigarette lighter, or your bottled water back, it is better than not making it to your intended destination. In most cases, you will be allowed to catch your flight, as long as you cooperate with airport security. Dont give them a reason to ban you and they wont. Although being banned from your flight seems serious enough, there is one more consequence that is worse than that. That consequence is being arrested by local authorities. In most cases, an arrest will only occur if and when you get out of hand. Whether you are on your plane or just waiting at the airport, it is important that you remain calm at all times. Whether you are upset with the air travel rules or just nervous about flying, your nerves may bring unwanted attention. When being confronted by airport security or a flight crew, it is important to stay calm and answer all questions. Being rude, insulting, or uncooperative, it is the quickest way to find yourself in a jail cell. As you can easily see, there are a number of different consequences for violating air travel rules. However, you control those consequences. Whether you intended http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 42
2011
to break a rule or not, the best thing that you can do is stay calm and be cooperative with whoever you are dealing with. It is the best way to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.
Flying? Preparing For Your Flight

Are you planning on taking a family vacation this year or a business trip? If so, there is a good chance that you will be flying. Flying is a relatively safe, easy, and convenient way to travel. However, before you leave for the airport, you are advised to start preparing for your flight, well in advance.
Figure 31 - You are advised to start preparing for your flight, well in advance
Unfortunately, many travelers do not realize that preparing for your flight does not just include packing your bags. Thanks to new air travel rules and the enforcement of them, preparation now includes more than you could ever imagine. As previously mentioned, it best that you start preparing for your flight early. In fact, you should start preparing as soon as you buy your airline tickets, whether http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 43
2011
that is two weeks before you leave, or two months. The first step that you will want take is to familiarize yourself with the airline that you are flying with and the airport which you will be flying out of. You can easily do this research Online. You will want to determine how early you should leave for the airport and what items you will need to bring along with you, such as personal identification. It is also a good idea to review the list of banned items. These are items that you are not allowed to have on the airplane or past certain points in most airports. The most commonly banned items include sharp objects and flammable items, but there other items included in these bans, items that you may have never even thought about before. That is why it is best that you learn what you can and cannot bring on your next family vacation or business trip. In the event that you try to bring along items that are prohibited, you may have them confiscated. If you are planning on familiarizing yourself with banned items and other airline rules, it may be a good idea to print off a list of what you find. Printable lists of items that are banned in airports and on airplanes can be found Online from a number of different Web sites. One of those Web sites includes the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). A printable list is ideal, especially if you do not need to start packing for your trip right away. After you have familiarized yourself with the air travel rules, including the ones that were recently implemented, you will need to start packing, whether you do so right away or not. When packing, you will want to remember everything that you learned, although, if you printed off a list, your packing will be much easier. In the event that you are http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 44
2011
not sure whether or not an item can be brought on an airplane, you are advised to leave it at home. Banned items can not only be confiscated, but they could cause you to miss your flight. That is why you are advised against taking any unnecessary chances.
Figure 32 - When packing, you will want to remember everything that you learned
Once your bags have been packed and all your travel plans are in order, you will need to head to the airport. It is advised that you arrive at the airport, at least, two hours in advance. It is important that you check with your airport, because some airports have different restrictions. Depending on the size of your airport or the number of flights going in and out, you may find that you need to arrive three or even four hours in advance. It is also important to make sure that you not only have your plane tickets with you, but the proper forms of identification.
Page 45
2011
Once at the airport, it is important that you remain calm at all times, even if you are approached by airport security. In todays world, it is not uncommon for you to be subject to a random bag check or search; therefore, you should not fret if you are asked. Instead, just remain calm and, in no time at all, you should be on your way to enjoying your vacation or your business trip.
Figure 33 - In no time at all, you should be on your way to enjoying your vacation
Making the Most Out of Your Next Flight

Are you planning on taking a vacation this year? Whether you are vacationing alone, with your family, or with your romantic partner, it is almost a guarantee that you would want to enjoy your trip. You can plan your vacation as much as you would like; however, there is a way that you could spoil your vacation, even before you get off the ground. That way is by having a bad experience at the airport or aboard your airplane.
Page 46
2011
To prevent this from happening, you are advised to know how to make the most out of your next flight. Doing so will help to ensure that your vacation is filled with joyous memories.
Figure 34 - Ensure that your vacation is filled with joyous memories
The first step in making the most out of your next vacation flight, it is to familiarize yourself with all of the air travel rules. This most commonly includes items that are prohibited in airports and aboard airplanes. Unfortunately, many individuals are unaware that many of the items in their carryon luggage are actually prohibited. Bringing prohibited items aboard an airplane could lead to your items being confiscated, you missing your flight, or even being detained by airport security. The best way for you to go about learning what items are and are not allowed aboard an airplane is to review the restrictions that your airport and airline has. You can do this by contacting the airline or airport directly or by visiting their Online Web sites. You should be able to find these Web sites by performing an Internet search. In your search, you will likely learn that a large number of items are banned. These items include, but are not limited to, most liquids, sharp objects, most sporting http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 47
2011
equipment, and flammable items. It is also important to determine which of these items can be stored in your carryon luggage and which can be stored in your checked baggage, if any.
Figure 35 - Which items can be stored in your carryon luggage?
In addition to learning about the items that are prohibited aboard an airplane or past airport security checkpoints, you will also want to familiarize yourself with the general airport screening process. Since there is always a chance that problems will arise, most airports request that you arrive at least two hours before your flight departs. However, it may be a good idea to check with your airport first. Since different airports have different flights and are different sizes, you may find that certain airports request that you arrive earlier than two hours. On the day that your flight leaves, it is important that you arrive on time. If your airport recommends arriving two hours in advance, it is advised that you arrive two hours in advance. Even if you get through security quicker than you imagined, the worst that will happen is that you will have to wait. If you arrive at the airport at the last minute, there is a chance that you may miss your flight.
Page 48
2011
It is also important that you follow all of the requests made by airport security. If you are asked to step aside, you are advised to do so without incident. Often times, the matter in which you were asked to step aside for, will clear up right away but not if you are rude, insulting, or unruly. Perhaps the best way to make the most out of your next flight is to cooperate with airport security. In the event that you packed a banned item by mistake, just acknowledge your mistake and move on. Your item will likely be confiscated, but it is better than the consequences, which may include a missed flight or being detained by airport security. Your GOAL is the wonderful, upcoming vacation!
Figure 36 - Your GOAL is the wonderful, upcoming vacation!
Are Air Travel Rules Different Between Airports

Are you a frequent flyer? If so, there is a good chance that you know all of the air travel rules. Do you? If so, do you know that air travel rules can vary between airports? Most travelers, especially those that tend to fly out of the same airports, are unaware that the rules are different. When understanding air travel, it is important to remember that there are two main sets of rules. One set of rules are often imposed by the federal government. These restrictions, such as the bans on sharp objects or certain liquids, must be upheld in all airports in the United States. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 49
2011
Despite these types of bans and air travel rules, you may also find that specific airports have implemented their own rules and restrictions. Although it is not required, a number of them have. Whether you are a first time flyer or a frequent flyer that is flying out of a new airport, you are advised to familiarize yourself with the air travel rules that are implemented in all airports, as well as the ones that are implemented individually, by each airport. The rules that can be found in each airport are just as important as the rules that are widespread. For this reason, it is important that you familiarize yourself with them. This can be done a number of different ways. Perhaps the best way to learn airport rules is by visiting the Web site of the airport in which you will be flying out of. If you do not already know the address of that Web site, you can easily find it out by performing a standard Internet search. You should perform your search with the name of the airport in question.
Figure 37 - The best way to learn airport rules is by visiting the Web site of the airport
Page 50
2011
Once at the Web sites main page, you should be able to find information on air travel rules. You are encouraged to fully read those rules and take note of what you see; it may come in useful later on. As nice as it is to get information Online, you are advised to be careful with what you find. Most airports update their Online Web sites on a regular basis, but not all do. You will want to be on the lookout for outdated information. In addition to outdated information, there is a good chance that you will not find anything at all. If your airports Online Web site does not have any information on air travel safety and rules, it does not necessarily mean these rules do not exist. However, it does mean that you may have to obtain the information elsewhere, such as directly from the airport. When trying to contact an airport, you will have a number of different options. If you are flying out of a local airport, it is likely that you can get the airports contact information for your local phone book. If not, you should be able to obtain it Online. Regardless of where you get your information from, you should find that each airport has a number of different telephone numbers listed. In the event that there is not a phone number listed specifically for information on air travel rules, you will want to contact the customer service department. Most airline representatives would be more than willing to answer all of your questions, including those on airport rules and restrictions. In addition to familiarizing yourself with the airport that you will be flying in and out of, it is also a good idea to examine your airline. Like many airports, many airlines have implemented their own air travel rules, guidelines, and restrictions.

For instance, there are some airlines that have specific rules on the flying with pets and others that are more flexible. Before leaving for the airport, it is important that you determine whether or not these additional air travel rules exist.

Packing Your Bags for the Airport: What You Should Leave at Home
Each day, millions of travelers hop on an airplane to get their next destination. Whether you are planning a visit to friends or family, attending a business meeting, or just taking a family vacation, it is likely that you will not be traveling alone. Almost all air travelers bring some sort of luggage with them. Unfortunately, when it comes to packing their bags, many travelers have no idea what they should or shouldnt bring along.
Page 52
2011
If you are gearing up for your next trip, you are advised to carefully choose the items that you are planning on bringing along with you. This includes items that will be packed in your checked baggage, in addition to your carryon luggage. Not only should you be thinking about convenience, but you should also be thinking about air travel rules, namely the rules that specify which items or materials are allowed aboard an airplane and which ones are not. When examining items prohibited during air travel, it is important to remember that some items may only have a partial ban. An example of a partial ban is a ban that may prevent certain items from being stored in your carryon luggage, but not in your checked baggage. Most of these bans, such as liquids, large tools, sporting goods, and sharp objects, are imposed only for safety reasons. Although a large number of items are allowed to be in your checked baggage, despite being banned from your carryon luggage, there are some items that you cannot, under any circumstances, bring aboard an airplane. These items most commonly fall under the category of explosive or flammable materials. You will find that you are prohibited from bringing: Bombs Dynamite Gun powder Lighters Flares Striking matches anywhere on an airplane In fact, trying to board an airplane with these items in your possession, whether they are in your carryon luggage or not, could land you in serious trouble. In addition to items that are banned by the airline industry, you will also want to think about convenience, when packing your bags for your next business trip or http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 53
2011
vacation. When it comes to carryon luggage, you will find that some airlines restrict the size of your bags, as well as the weight. For your own convenience, you will want to keep your carryon luggage as light as possible. The same should be said for your checked baggage. Although you may not be carrying it with you at all times, it is still advised that you pack as light as possible. A number of airlines have strict weight limits on carryon luggage. If your luggage weighs more than what is allowed, you may be charged an extra fee or you may even be required to remove some of your belongings. It is also advised that you think of the items that you are bringing along with you, specifically their monetary and semimetal value. When traveling aboard an airplane, there are a number of instances where you belongings may suffer damage, especially those stored in checked baggage. If you would take a large financial or emotional hit from the loss or destruction of your personal belongings, you are advised to leave those items at home. Although you may not be able to have your laptop with you or your favorite piece of jewelry, it is nice to know that your treasured items are safe at home.
Figure 39 - It is nice to know that your treasured items are safe at home
Page 54
2011
It may seem like a difficult task to leave some of your belongings at home, but you are encouraged to do so, whenever possible. By keeping all of the above mentioned points into consideration, you are sure to not only avoid trouble at the airport, but have less to worry about as well.
Airport Security Checkpoints: What You Need to Know

In recent years, as well as recent months, air travel rules have changed. If you are planning on flying, you will find that most of these changes have occurred right at airports, namely airport security checkpoints. If you are about to head off to catch a flight, whether you leave tomorrow or in two weeks, it is advised that you familiarize yourself with these new air travel rules, namely the ones that are enforced at airport security checkpoints.
Figure 40 - If you are about to head off to catch a flight... Keep your mind on your goal!
When it comes to airport security checkpoints, there are many passengers who only think of one checkpoint, but the reality is that there are actually three.
Page 55
2011
1) The first checkpoint is when you go to register for your seat on the plane. This is the time when you will be presented with your boarding passes and when you must hand over the luggage that you would like checked. In addition to handing over your plane tickets or requesting your boarding passes, you will need to show the proper forms of identification. These items most commonly include a drivers license or a government issued identification card. Once you have received all of your boarding passes for all of your flights, you will need to hand over your luggage that you will be leaving below in the plane. These bags are commonly referred to as checked baggage or checked luggage. As with your carryon luggage, your checked baggage will need to be checked for prohibited items. In the past, only a small number of bags were hand checked, but now almost all are. Many of these checks are quick look-overs, but you may be subject to a random, extensive search. This search often includes the checking of all baggage compartments, as well as the wiping of a cloth, which is looking for powdery substances. 2) When you have been cleared to the next stage, you will need to go through the main airport security checkpoints. This point is where you will be required to have your carryon luggage scanned by an x-ray machine. You will also need to walk through a metal detector. In the past, only random travelers were asked to remove their shoes for checking. At the current time, all air travelers, with the exception of those with a disability or hindering medical condition, are required to remove their shoes. Your shoes will be x-rayed, along with the rest of your carryon luggage. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 56
2011
By familiarizing yourself with the items that are banned aboard an airplane, including items that are only prohibited from being stored in your carryon luggage, an unnecessary incident could be prevented. In the event that you are found carrying a prohibited item, certain steps will be taken. Depending on the item in question, you may be required to: Return the item to your car Discard of it Mail it to your home, or Turn it over to airport security It is preferable that you leave all prohibited items at home this is the best way to prevent this unnecessary tie up, which may cause you to miss your flight. 3) Once you have been cleared at the main security checkpoint, you will need to go through one more security checkpoint. This is the final step before being able to board your airplane. When entering the airport terminal, after your airline has granted permission for passengers to board, you will need to present airline officials with the appropriate boarding pass. At this time you may need to show your identification again; however, it isnt always necessary. Most travelers are easily able to board their airplane, but you may be pulled aside in the event that you are acting suspicious or drawing unwanted attention to yourself. That is why it is best that you stay calm during all airport checkpoints, including the final boarding stage. Perhaps the best way to ensure that your next flight is as pleasant as it can be is to follow all air travel rules. Knowing these rules ahead of time, including the http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 57
2011
screening process, you should ensure that you are able to board your plane and make it to your intended destination without incident.
Figure 41 - Make sure you get on that plane and GO!
Random Baggage Checks: Be Smart

Do you enjoy participating in illegal activities, such as drug use? Although you just shouldnt, sane logic shows it isnt recommended for your health and not to mention its illegal. There still are a large number of individuals who do participate. When it comes to drug use, whether it is marijuana, cocaine, or some illegally obtained prescription pills, there are many individuals who are addicted. Aside from being addicted, some individuals just like to take them, even though they probably could stop at any time. If you are one of those individuals, there will likely come a point in time when you will need to travel, maybe even by airplane. If so, you are advised to proceed with caution. In recent years, airport security has drastically changed. Before September 11th, some airports only randomly screened baggage, but now they are always checked.
Page 58
2011
Not only is baggage being checked for dangerous weapons, but it is also checked for illegal items, such as drugs. This means that the next time you plan on flying with a stash, you are best advised against doing so. No matter how smart you are, there is a very good chance that you will get caught. Despite this chance, there are still many travelers who try. The number one mistake that most individuals make when flying with illegal drugs, is carry the drugs with them. New airport rules have been established. Those rules require that all passengers need to take off their shoes. Shoes will now be scanned with all other carryon bags. This means that if you plan on hiding something illegal in your shoes, whether it is drugs or not, you will be caught. It is also advised that you do not carry anything illegal in your carryon bags. In addition to being scanned though an x-ray machine, they may also be examined by airport security. Since it is too risky to carry illegal items with them, many travelers make the decision to hide them in their checked baggage. While it may have been possible to successfully do this, ten years ago, it is not anymore. Now, almost every airline searches through checked baggage. If your bags are locked, there is a good chance that you will be asked to remove those locks. When it comes to checking checked baggage, there are two main types of searches that are done. All bags will be thoroughly searched for anything out of the ordinary, but more intense searches are conducted randomly. Do you know what the difference is between a traditional search and an intensive search? Instead of just shifting your items around, airport security will actually look through your entire bag. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 59
2011
This may mean having every single one of your luggage compartments checked, the pockets of your clothing checked, as well all bags, including makeup bags. In the event that you are randomly selected for one of these checks, there is virtually no way that you will make it to the next point, your airplane seat. One of the many reasons why a traveler brings banned items, not to mention illegal items, on a flight is because they think that nothing would happen to them. Now, if you are caught trying to bring a banned item onboard, such as a cigarette lighter, you may just have your item confiscated. Additional actions may be taken, but for the most part, you will just receive a warning. However, there is a difference between just a banned item, and a banned item that is also illegal. That difference may mean more than having to miss your flight. In fact, it could mean jail time.
Figure 42 - Alcohol cannot be brought on the plane if it is more than 140 proof
In addition to illegal drugs, alcohol, which is considered legal if not consumed at the correct age, is prohibited on some airplanes. Most airlines have restrictions on alcohol, including checked baggage. In most cases, alcohol cannot be brought on the plane if it is more than 140 proof. When it doubt, it is best to verify the rules and restrictions with the airline you plan on flying with.

Air Travel: What You Need to Know About Your Checked Baggage
When it comes to air travel, many travelers are more concerned with their carryon luggage than they are with their bags that will be handed over to airport staff. These bags, commonly referred to as checked baggage, are just as important, if not more important, than your carryon luggage. For this reason, there are a number of different factors that you should take into consideration, when packing your bags for your next flight. One mistake that many travelers make, when it comes to checked baggage, is including prohibited items in their bag. In addition to prohibited items, there have also been instances of travelers trying to hide illegal items in their checked luggage. Although it may seem like a good idea at the time, it isnt. In fact, with todays airport security screening, it is virtually impossible for you to get away with storing prohibited or illegal items inside your checked baggage. This is mostly due to the fact that the screening process has dramatically changed from what it was in the past, say ten years ago. In the past, certain airlines only randomly searched checked baggage. Many times, these searches were only implemented if airline officials or airport security had probable cause. Today, all bags are checked, including your checked luggage. Most checks will quickly be done, but, in some cases, more extensive searches may be conducted. A quick check of your luggage may include rummaging through all of your belongings, looking for anything out of the ordinary. An extensive search could include searching all of your clothing pockets and baggage compartments.
Page 61
2011
In the event that you are subject to one of those checks, it is likely that you will be caught if you are trying to conceal a cigarette lighter or other prohibited items. Since your bags will be checked all of them you are advised against locking your baggage before heading to the airport. After your bags have been properly screened, some airlines will allow you to replace the locks on your checked baggage, but not all will. For this reason, you may want to reconsider storing expensive items, such as electronic equipment, in your bags. In addition to the possibility of theft, you will find that items packed inside your checked luggage are at a higher risk for being damaged then those that are in your carryon bags. When packing your bags, which will be checked at the airport, it is also advised that you carefully pack them. There are a number of items, including sharp objects, which are prohibited from being stored in your carryon luggage, but those items can be placed in your checked baggage. As previously mentioned, airport security will likely examine those bags. Even during a quick examination, they will rummage through your belongings. For that reason, you are advised to properly package and secure all items that can be considered dangerous, such as those with sharp edges or points. This extra precaution may not only affect your safety, when you to go unpack your bags, but the safety of all airport security officials, especially those screening your luggage. By taking the time to familiarize yourself with all travel rules, including the airport screening process, you should be able to pack your bags for your next flight, the right way. The wrong way, although you may not necessarily think about it at the time, could have serious consequences.

Flying? Banned Items That You Might Not Have Thought Of

When you think of items that are banned on airplanes, what first comes to mind? If you are like most individuals, you would say sharp objects. Of course, sharp objects are banned on all airlines, but did you know that there is a long list of other items. In fact, many of these items are items that you may have never given thought to before. If you are gearing up to take a flight; it is advised that you give these items some thought. Before you learn more about the items prohibited, it is important that you know there is a difference between carryon luggage and checked luggage. Carryon luggage is the luggage that you will be carrying and keeping with you at all times Your checked baggage is the baggage that will be stored on the airplane, out of your reach When examining items that are prohibited aboard an airplane, it is important to remember that some items are not completely banned While a large number of items may not be allowed in your carryon luggage, there are other some that will be allowed in your checked luggage. Recently, in 2006, a new ban was imposed; that ban is on liquids. Due to recent security threats, a large number of liquids are now banned from being stored in your carryon luggage. These liquids commonly include: Beverages Liquid or gel based beauty supplies Food with a liquid or gel based substance Despite the new ban, there are a few exceptions. Those exceptions include: Small doses of medication Small doses of eye drops or saline solution http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 63
2011
Small amounts of baby formula In the event that you are vacationing to play sports, such as golf, you will need to check your golf clubs and other sports equipment, no matter how much you want to keep them by your side. Prohibited sports items, which cannot be used as carryon luggage, include: Bows Arrows Bats Golf Clubs Ski Poles Pool Cues Hockey Sticks Lacrosse Sticks If your sports equipment is expensive, you will want to make sure that it is appropriately packed, to prevent damage.
Figure 43 - The majority of tools are also banned from being included as carryon luggage
Page 64
2011
The majority of tools are also banned from being included as carryon luggage. You will find that some tools, such as screwdrivers and pliers, are allowed, but they must be no longer than seven inches. Banned items, which must be stored in your checked luggage, include: Axes Crowbars Saws Drills Hammers As previously mentioned, sharp objects are prohibited aboard most airplanes. These items can be stored in your checked baggage, but they are not allowed aboard the plane in your carryon luggage. The only exception is scissors that have blades shorter than four inches. Sharp objects that you will only be allowed to store in your checked baggage include: Knives Swords Box Cutters Ice Picks In the event that you need to travel with any of the above mentioned items, you are advised to plan ahead first. It is important that you store any of the previously mentioned items in your checked baggage. You will be unable to pass through airport security checkpoints until after your baggage has been checked. This means that you if you are caught with a prohibited item in your carryon luggage, in most cases, it will be too late to have that item rechecked. Instead, you will most likely end up having to hand it over to airport security, never to see
Page 65

your item again. When it doubt, check it or leave it at home. Those are the best ways to ensure that you do not lose anything of great value.
The New Liquid Ban: What You Need to Know

You are encouraged to really think of the end goal of all this planning! Its easy to get caught up in all the must-dos and have-tos, and ultimately do damage to your precious getaway, your vacation. Its especially easy to do this if youve not traveled recently.
Figure 44 Dont do damage to your precious getaway, your vacation!
Have you recently tried catching a flight? If not, do you plan to do so in the future? If so, there is a chance that you will notice some changes when you fly, those chances include new air travel rules. While a number of new rules have been implemented, there are some that may have a direct impact on you and how you pack your bags. That new rule is a ban on all liquids. If you are planning on flying, whether it is tomorrow or in two months, you are advised to fully research and examine this new air travel ban. Since most individuals, including men, women, and children, fly with some sort of liquid, http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 66
2011
there is a good chance that you will need to alter your packing habits. When examining the liquid ban, it is important to remember one thing: Liquids are banned from being brought with you onto the airplane in your carryon luggage. This ban does not prohibit you from bringing these items with you; it just means that you have to place them in your checked baggage. When trying to determine which liquid items are prohibited from being stored in your carryon luggage, it is best to examine these items in different categories. This is because this new ban means that a large number of items are now only allowed in bags that will be checked upon arrival at the airport. In fact, there are too many items for you to individually learn about. Some of the most popular items that are now included in the liquid air travel ban include health, skincare, and beauty products, especially those that are liquid or gel based. When it comes to cosmetics, all items are made of liquid are prohibited from being stored in your carryon luggage, even your purse. This means that you need to remove from your carryon luggage: Mascara Liquid Foundation Lip Gloss Other Liquid Based Cosmetics Shampoo Conditioner Hair Spray Styling Gel Mouthwash Toothpaste Hand Lotions Hand Sanitizers Moisturizing Creams http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 67
2011
In addition to health and beauty products, there are a fairly large number of food and drink products that you must either leave at home, discard before you enter the airport security area, or pack in your checked luggage. For beverages, this includes all liquid beverages, even those that are not opened. If you purchase a drink from a sterile restaurant or shopping store, past airport security, you will have to consume your drink before you begin boarding for your flight. When it comes to food, you will also find that, like most beverages, items with liquid in them are banned. These items include, but are not limited to jello, soup, pudding, and yogurt. If you need to have food or snacks with you, you will want to purchase something from the airport vending machines or bring a small, dry snack from home. These items are the safest and most convenient to have when snacking aboard an airplane. As you can easily see, there are an unlimited number of products, with a gel or liquid base, that you must place in your checked baggage. However, there are a few exceptions to this new air travel rule.
Figure 45 - The only drinks allowed are infant formula or milk based products for babies
When it comes to drinks, the only drinks allowed on the airplane with you and other travelers are infant formula or milk based products for babies. While you can bring these items onboard, there is a good chance that they will be closely examined. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 68
2011
Another exception includes eye care products and medications. You are allowed to bring liquid medication onboard an airplane with you, as long as the medication is prescribed to you. Airport security will likely verify that your name matches the name on the prescription bottle. You can also bring onboard other non prescription products, including those needed for eye care; however, they must be no larger than four ounces in size. These items may include saline solution and eye drops. By keeping the above mentioned information in mind, you should be able to prepare for your flight without having to be worried about airport security checkpoints. As long as you properly pack your bags, you shouldnt experience any problems with airport security.
Are Your Beauty Supplies Banned?

Are you a female who is about to catch a flight? Whether you are just going to visit family, are planning to take a vacation, or you have a business meeting to attend, there is a good chance that you will be bringing along beauty supplies. In fact, some of these supplies you may even want to carry with you at all times, but can you?
Figure 46 - There is a good chance that you will be bringing along beauty supplies
Page 69
2011
If you werent already aware, there are a number of different beauty supplies that are prohibited from being stored in your carryon luggage. Before you head to the airport, you are encouraged to familiarize yourself with these items. With the recent ban on liquids, you will find that a number of your beauty supply products are automatically eliminated from being allowed in your carryon luggage. These items most commonly include liquid deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioners, hand sanitizers, and all liquid hair products. Although it may be inconvenient for you, you will also find that the majority of your makeup supplies are banned from carryon luggage bags. All of these banned items include liquid based formulas, such as liquid foundation, liquid skincare creams, liquid mascara, and liquid lip products. Although a large number of liquid beauty supplies are prohibited from being stored in carryon luggage bags, there are a few exceptions. These liquid exceptions include prescriptions that are prescribed to you and certain eye care products. If you are wearing your contacts or have eye problems, you are allowed to carry small amounts of eye drops or saline solution with you. These items must be no larger than four ounces each. Although a large number of beauty supplies are liquid based, there are others that are not. For instance, most nail care products, expect for nail polish or nail polish remover, are liquid free. By the way, it is important to note that both nail polish and nail polish remover are included in the, above mentioned liquid ban. Nail care items that you can bring aboard an airplane with you, in your carryon luggage, include: Nail Clippers Nail Cuticle Cutters Nail Files
Page 70
2011
If you need to carry any other beauty products with you, it is likely that you they will focus on eye care. As previously mentioned, small amounts of saline solution and eye drops are permitted onboard an airplane, in your carryon luggage. Although you may think it is banned, you are permitted to carry eye glass repair kits with you. These kits are allowed, despite the fact they do have a small number of sharp objects in them. Now that you know which common beauty supplies or products are allowed or are not allowed to be stored in your carryon luggage, you can pack accordingly. It is important that you keep this list in mind.
Figure 47 - If it isn't liquid, your beauty product is good to GO!
If you are planning on wearing makeup, you will want to apply it before you leave and store the rest in your bags that will be checked. In the event that you try to sneak the above mentioned prohibited items into your bag, you may be at risk for being detained by airport security. Although there is a chance that you may be detained by airport security or miss your flight, due to being tied up at a security checkpoint, you will find that those are the most serious consequences.
Page 71
2011
In the event that you are cooperative with airport security and other airport staff, you will likely just have your banned beauty items confiscated. As a woman, you should know that many of these items do not come cheap. Therefore, instead of wasting your hard earned money, you are advised to think wisely and plan ahead.

Air Travel Rules: Traveling With Tools

Are you a handyman by trade? If so, it is likely that you have grown accustomed to carrying your tools around with you, wherever you go. In fact, there is also a chance that you may need to travel with them. Whether you are traveling for business purposes or not, it is important to know that the airline industry has a specific set of air travel rules concerning tools. If you are planning on bringing your tools along with you, you will want to take the time to familiarize yourself with these rules. Doing so may prove helpful, in more ways than one. Before examining the tools that are not allowed aboard an airline and those that are, it is important to know one thing, there are different types of rules. Most http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 72
2011
airlines do not strictly prohibit you from carrying tools with you, but they do restrict you from carry them at certain times. For instance, you will find that a large number of tools can be stored in your checked baggage, but they are prohibited from being stored in your carryon luggage. If, at anytime, you are confused about these bans, you are advised to contact your airline for additional information.
Figure 49 - Saws, saw blades, drills, and box cutters are banned from all airplane cabins
One group of tools that are banned from carryon luggage includes sharp objects. With the recent focus on airport security, you should already be well aware of this type of ban. Saws, saw blades, drills, and box cutters are banned from all airplane cabins. Essentially, this means that you cannot store these items in your carryon luggage; however, they can be packed in your checked baggage. Since all baggage, including the bags that you do not plan on keeping with you at all times, needs to be searched, you are advised to properly secure these tools. Not doing so may result in an air airline employee receiving an injury that could have been prevented.
Page 73
2011
In addition to tools with sharp edges, there is also a carryon luggage ban on tools that could be used as a deadly weapon. These tools include: Axes Hatchets Cattle Prods Hammers Crowbars This ban is mostly imposed due to the size and weight of these items. As with most other tools, the airline industry will allow you to store these heavy tools in your checked baggage. Although it may seem as if all tools are banned from your carryon luggage, which is not the case. There are a number of tools can be stored in your carryon luggage. These tools commonly include screwdrivers and pliers. Additional tools may also be allowed, but they must not have been mentioned above. It is also required that these tools be no more than seven inches long. In the event that they are longer than seven inches, you will have to make additional accommodations. Despite the fact that certain tools can be stored in your carryon luggage, it may be a good idea to put these items in your checked baggage or leave them at home. Even though these items are allowed, you may raise suspicion from having them with you aboard a plane. That suspicion may not necessarily come from airport security officials, but it may come from other passengers. With the way that the world works today, it may be best if you refrain from including these tools in your carryon luggage, unless you absolutely need them.

Air Travel Rules: Traveling with Sports Equipment

Are you an avid sports fan? If so, there is a good chance that you will try and incorporate sports into your next vacation or business trip. If you are planning on enjoying a game of golf or a game of baseball, it is likely that you will want to bring along some sporting equipment with you.
Figure 50 - If you are planning on enjoying a game of baseball...
However, did you know there are certain restrictions on those items? If you are planning on traveling with sports equipment, no matter what sport that equipment is for, you are advised to familiarize yourself with these rules and restrictions. As previously mentioned, golf is a sport that many travelers enjoy participating in. If you are planning on traveling with your golf clubs, you will need to treat them as checked baggage.
Page 75
2011
Figure 51 - All airlines have a ban on golf clubs being used as carryon luggage
All airlines currently have a ban on golf clubs being used as carryon luggage. Due to the cost of most golf club sets, you will either want to leave your clubs at home or properly protect them. If you are traveling to a golf resort or other popular vacation destination, there is a good chance that you should be able to rent a set of golf clubs. Although they will not be your own, it is nice to know that your set is safe at home. In addition to golf, baseball is another sport enjoyed by many. Like golf clubs, baseball bats are banned from being used as carryon luggage. If you are planning on enjoying a game of baseball on your next vacation or business trip, you will want to store your baseball bats in a secure bag that can safely be transported through different airports. While baseball bats are banned from airplane cabins, there is no mention of other equipment, such as cleats, helmets, or baseballs. For your own convenience, you may want to store these other baseball supplies in the same place as your baseball bats, in your checked baggage.
Page 76
2011
Of course, if you are planning on enjoying a hunting excursion when on vacation or a business trip, you will need to keep your supplies in your checked baggage.
Figure 52 - Bows, arrows, and guns are prohibited from being in plane cabins
All bows, arrows, and guns are strictly prohibited from being in airplane cabins. In fact, if you try and pass through a security checkpoint with these items, there is a good chance that you will be detained by airport security, for further questioning. Although you may not necessarily think about it, bows, arrows, and guns are not only used for recreational purposes, but they are also used to harm others. You can help to protect your equipment by making sure that everything is properly and safely packaged; however, there are no guarantees. You are also advised against relying on compensation from the airlines if and when your sports equipment suffers damage. As with all other items, if you are concerned with the safety of your sporting equipment, you are advised to rethink your decision to bring that equipment along.
Page 77
2011
Figure 53 - Additional sporting goods that are banned... Yes! Some ski equipment!
Additional sporting goods that are banned from being included in your carryon luggage include pool cues, ski poles, lacrosse sticks, or hockey sticks. As previously mentioned, there are some sporting goods that are outright banned, but other rules are not so clear. If you are trying to decide whether or not you can pack other equipment in your carryon luggage, such as masks or other protective gear, you are advised to ask before heading out to the airport. In the event that these items are banned, you may have to make additional arrangements. Regardless of whether you choose to return the items to your car or mail them to your home, you may end up wasting unnecessary time and money.

Air Travel Rules: Traveling With Electronics

In this day in age, it seems as if all individuals have at least once piece of electronic equipment with them, often at all times. That electronic equipment may include: Cell Phone Beeper Pager GPS Device Laptop MP3 Player Personal Data Assistant, Commonly Known As A PDA If you are one of the individuals that regularly travel around with one or more of these electronic items, there is a good chance that you will be taking them with you when you board an airplane. If so, there is a chance that you may be concerned with whether or not they are a violation of air travel rules. When it comes to determining which electronics are prohibited aboard an airplane, you will find that almost all are allowed. Despite this allowance, it is still a good idea that you check with your airline or airport, in advance. Since most electronic items are expensive, you will not want to get to the airport only to learn that you are prohibited from bringing all of your belongings with you, especially something as expensive as most electronic equipment. As previously mentioned, many individuals keep a cell phone or pager with them at all times. All cell phones and pagers are permitted aboard airplanes. In addition to being permitted onboard, they are allowed to be stored in your carryon luggage. Your cell phone or pager, like most other electronic equipment, will be suspect to inspection, if need be. Laptops and personal data assistants, commonly known as PDAs, are also permitted aboard airplanes. You are also allowed to store them in your carryon http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 79
2011
luggage, if you choose to. If stored in your carryon luggage, your laptop or personal data assistant machine will need to be scanned along with the rest of your carryon luggage. This screening process is safe and should not hurt your equipment. While the screening process is safe for most electronic equipment, it isnt for all. There is a chance that your film, especially film that has yet to be developed, could be ruined by the x-ray machines. In the event that you are storing a camera in your carryon luggage, you will need to notify airport security. They have alternative ways of checking your camera or film equipment. Other recording devices, such as digital cameras or camcorders, are also permitted aboard an airplane, even in your carryon luggage. It is safe for these items to go through the x-ray screening process. GPS, or Global Positioning System, is certainly a 21st Century miracle! It especially is useful for travelers, using satellite technology for positioning, mapping, and navigation. For even local travels, it is a huge boon. The airlines, however, are split on whether they consider the GPS unit to be banned, or not.
Figure 54 - GPS is the future of air traffic control
One source claims, This [GPS] is the future of air traffic control. A moving map display tells pilots exactly where they are, what other planes are in the vicinity, http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 80
2011
wherever there are any terrain hazards to avoid, and gives them constantly updated weather information. Other sources show that, while many airlines approve GPS onboard, many (even major) airlines do not. As previously mentioned, many of the above mentioned electronics can either be stored in your carryon luggage or your checked baggage. If you are able to store the items in your carryon luggage, you are advised to do so. It is no secret that checked baggage gets tossed around in a number of different fashions. With expensive electronic equipment, your equipment is less likely to suffer damage if you are the one in charge of caring for it. In addition to a reduction in damage, most airlines are restricting the use of baggage locks. This means that it may be unwise for you to store expensive equipment in your checked baggage, especially if you cannot lock it. Honestly, you never know who may have access to it. By keeping the above mentioned information in mind, you should be able to pack correctly for your next trip, whether or not that trip is a business trip. Although most airlines do not have restrictions on the electronic equipment that you bring onboard, you will find that the use of these items is often restricted. A large number of airlines will only let you power up your camcorder, cell phone, pager, PDA, or laptop during specified times. Again, the main rule to keep in mind is that your GOAL is a wonderful, successful vacation so, anything you do to comply with the airlines, is peace of mind for your triumphant trip!

Air Travel Rules: Are They Different For Those With a Disability?
When planning to take a trip, by way of airplane, there are a number of different factors that you should consider. One of those factors includes whether or not you have a disability. Even if you do not have a disability, you also need to be prepared if you are traveling with someone else who has one. This preparation does not just include packing your bags for your trip, but it is also includes familiarizing yourself with air travel rules. Although most of the rules are the same, you will find that some rules differ for those who have a medical condition or a disability. The first step in preparing for a trip with someone who is disabled, whether that person is yourself or another traveler, is to alert the airline.
Figure 56 - Inform the airline staff of any disability or medical condition that you may have
When making your reservation, you may want to inform the airline staff of any disability or medical condition that you may have. Although this is not necessary, it may be a good idea, especially if you will be traveling with medical equipment. Extra accommodations will need to be made for those who are traveling, past airport security checkpoints, with wheelchairs or mobility scooters.
Page 82
2011
Learning what you will need to do with these items, ahead of time, is a great way to make your travel plans run as smoothly as possible. It is also a good idea to familiarize yourself with the airport screening process. All individuals will need to go through medical detectors. If you or someone who you know is traveling with medical equipment that will set off the alarms, it is likely that they will be pulled aside for additional screening. This screening should only take a few minutes, but it will be done by a trained professional who will show compassion when dealing with those with a disability. Unlike most other air travelers, who at this time are required to remove their shoes, those with a disability can leave their shoes on if they choose to do so. However, it is important to note that you may be subject to additional screening. To prevent this additional screening from occurring, you are advised to remove your shoes, if at all possible. In the event that you are unable to, it will not be a big ordeal. In fact, the additional screening often requires a quick swipe of a metal detector wand. In addition to those with a disability, most airports have made special arrangements and exceptions for those who have a medical condition, especially one that requires medication at a specific time. You are allowed to keep your medication with you, in your carryon luggage, but you are advised to keep the dosages in small amounts. Due to the current ban on liquids, you are advised to have the proper medical identification. This means that you should keep your medication in the original package, especially if your name is on it. To be allowed through to the next checkpoint, your name will have to match the name of the prescription bottle. If it does not, there is a chance that you will have your medication confiscated. By keeping the above mentioned points in mind you or your traveling partners, who may have a medical condition or a disability, should easily be able to make it to your intended destination. In the event that you are unsure about a particular screening procedure or if you have any other questions, you are advised to http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 83
2011
contact the airline in which you will be flying on or the airport that you will be leaving from, before your arrive there. Planning ahead is the best way to make your next flight a memorable and hasslefree experience.
Figure 57 - Planning ahead is the best way to make your next flight a memorable experience
Air Travel Rules: Are They Different With Children?

Are you and your family planning on taking a trip now or in the near future? If so, there is a good chance that you all will be flying on airplane. When traveling a long distance, especially with children, airplanes can be the quickest way to get to your destination. However, when it comes to air travel rules and children, many parents are confused.
Page 84
2011
Many of those parents mistakenly believe that their child is exempt from all air travel rules, including airport security checkpoints. Unfortunately, this is not true.
Figure 58 - Children must undergo the same screening process as everyone else
If you are planning on traveling with your child, they will not receive a free pass. This means that they must undergo the exact same screening process as everyone else. Although you will all be going through the same screening process, you will want to prepare for it a little bit differently. This preparation should not only be used to ensure that you and your family make it through the airport screening process, but that you and your family have a pleasant experience when doing so. The first step in preparing for air travel is explaining the air travel rules to your child or children. Depending on their age, this can be a fairly difficult task. When explaining the screening process, it is important that your child knows they will have to enter the metal detectors.
Page 85
2011
Figure 59 - Children must also go through the processes... OFF with the shoes!
If your child can walk, they are encouraged to go through them alone. Although there is a good chance that the alarm will not sound, especially if you check their clothing before you leave; it could still be a fairly scary process. In the event that the alarm on the metal detector does sound, your child will be pulled aside, just like everyone else. It is also important to talk to your children about what is allowed and what is not allowed on the airplane. For instance, there is a good chance that your child would like to take a drink with them. Recently, there was a ban imposed on liquids and carryon luggage. While there are a few exceptions, namely baby formula, your child will likely have to go without a beverage, although they should be provided with one as soon as they board the plane. It is also advised to let them know that some of their toys may need to be left at home. These toys may include ones that are large, have sharp objects, or appear as if they are real weapons. As previously mentioned, your childs age is important when explaining air travel to them. You will find that most older children, including teenagers, completely understand everything that you are saying, but smaller children may not. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 86
2011
If you are afraid that your toddler does not comprehend what you are saying, it may be a good idea to arrive at the airport even earlier than recommended. You should be able to stay off to the side and watch other passengers, especially those who are going through the screening process. This, along with a simple explanation, may help your child to see and understand what will happen to them later on. Airport security, although it is a serious issue, has become a joke to many people, including some children: While you may not necessarily think about it, it is important that you make sure that your child understands that they are not to joke about having a bomb or any other weapon on an airplane. Your child may not have a weapon onboard and they may only make a comment with the intention of getting a laugh, there is a lot more that they could get. As previously mentioned, when it comes to air travel, children receive the same attention as adults do. This means that if your child is overheard making a joke on the plane that may cause some security concerns; it is likely that your whole family, including your child, will be removed from the plane and detained by airport security, until the situation has been resolved. By keeping the above mentioned points in mind, you should not have any problems traveling with your child. Even if you feel that your child is mature for their age, it is still a good idea to remind them of all air travel rules, not only for the sake of your trip, but for their own safety as well.
Air Travel Rules: Flying With Pets

When it comes to air travel, a large number of individuals hit the skies daily. People fly for all different reasons. Some individuals need to make a business trip, http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 87
2011
others are visiting friends or family, others are going on vacation, and some are making a cross country move. If you are moving, there is a good chance that you may need to bring your pet along with you. If this is the case, you will find that you are subject to a whole new set of air travel rules. Before leaving for the airport, with your pet or pets in tow, you are advised to familiarize yourself with those rules. The first step in traveling, in the air, with a pet is to make sure that they are even allowed. Certain pets are allowed to be on airplanes, but that does not mean that all airlines will allow it. If you are planning on traveling with your pet, you will need to inform your airline of this information upfront. This is vital because not all airlines will allow you to bring a pet onboard. Therefore, if you do not check with your airline before heading to the airport, you may be unable to board your flight. When traveling with a pet, you will need to keep that pet contained. That means that if you are traveling with an animal, such as a dog or a cat, that animal will likely need to be in a carrier. When purchasing an animal carrier, it is important to know that not all carriers are permitted onboard.
Figure 60 - Who, ME? Get in THAT little cage? Har Har Arf!
Page 88
2011
If you will be keeping your animal in the cabin with you, as opposed to having your animal treated as checked baggage, you will need to make sure that your pet carrier will not negatively affect other passengers. Your pet carrier must not block aisle ways or encroach on other passengers seating spaces. In addition to these general rules and restrictions, you may find that each airline has their own set of pet carrier rules. Almost all airlines require that your pets have the proper documents before being allowed on their airplanes. These documents most commonly include information on your pets health. Most airlines require that your pet undergoes a medical evaluation before being transported by airplane. This information is not only used to ensure that your pet is healthy enough to fly, but is also used to ensure that they are protected with the proper vaccinations. Proper vaccinations will not only protect your pet, but other passengers, as well as airline staff. Once you have received clearance from the airline which you wish to fly on, purchased the appropriate pet equipment, and obtained the proper health checks for your pet, you will need to wait until your day of travel. On that day, you may want to arrive at the airport a little bit earlier than recommended. This will help to ensure that you could quickly straighten out a problem, without having to miss your flight, should one arise. When you and your pet arrive at the airport, whether it is early or not, you will both be required to go through airport security. Your pet will be required to pass through a metal detector, just like everyone else. If you are using a pet carrier, it is also likely that your pet carrier will be subject to examination. This examination most commonly includes being sent though the xray machine with your carryon luggage; however, it is important to note that your pet will not have to go through the x-ray machine; the metal detector should be enough. As previously mentioned, not all airlines allow their passengers to fly with their pets, even in the cabin or below deck. That is why it is advised that you determine http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 89
2011
whether or not your pet can fly with you, ahead of time. In addition to different air travel rules, you may also find that some airlines charge extra fees for pet passengers. In the event that you are charged, you will be notified of this charge ahead of time.
Air Travel: Is the Clothing You Wear Important

When it comes to air travel and clothing, we are all different. There are some travelers who are dressed in business suits, others in traditional jeans, and others who wear something as comfortable as possible, such as their pajamas or sweat pants.
Figure 61 - Ahhh, flannel! The height of Airport Style!
With the recent increase in airport security and the recent change in air travel rules, there are many individuals who wonder if the clothing they wear to the airport is important. If you are one of those individuals, you can rest assure because, in most cases, it is not.
Page 90
2011
It seems as if ever since airplanes became the popular way to travel, a focus has been placed on comfort. Regardless of whether or not you will be taking a long flight, you will want to be comfortable. There is nothing worse than wearing an itchy sweater or tight pair of pants up in the air. Unless you bring a change of clothes with you and place them in your carryon bag, you are out of luck. That is why it is important that you think of what you will be wearing before you leave for the airport. Even if you are traveling for business, you should be able to change in to your business clothes as soon as you arrive at your destination, even in the airport bathrooms. When it comes to comfort, as previously mentioned, many air travelers make the decision to wear sweat pants and a comfortable top. In addition to being comfortable, you will find, in most cases, that these types of clothes are the best for airport security, especially when entering airport screening checkpoints. This is because most sweat pants are not made with any metal items. Essentially, this means that you should be able to enter the security checkpoint and leave it quicker than most other travelers, such as the travelers who are decked out in accessories. When it comes to clothing accessories, you will find that a number of different items set off airport metal detectors. That is why most airport security officers request that you remove all of your jewelry. Once your jewelry is removed, you will need to place it in a small bin, which will be scanned right along with your carryon luggage. Whether you have rings or a necklace, you are advised to remove them, if you can. For your convenience, you can leave your earrings on. If by chance, you earrings set the metal detectors off, you will likely be pulled aside and airport security should easily be able to tell whether or not your earring were what set off the alarms. In addition to jewelry, you will find that your belt may even set off an airports metal detector. For that reason, a large number of airports have requested that you remove your belts before entering the metal detectors. Since a large number http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 91
2011
of travelers wear belts, this is done to help speed up the process of checking each and every passenger. If you do not enjoy removing some of your jewelry or removing your belt, it is advised that you leave those items at home. Recently, a number of new air travel rules have been implemented. One of those rules requires that all passengers remove their shoes. Your shoes, once removed, will be scanned by an x-ray machine, right along with the rest of your carryon luggage. In recent years, only random passengers were asked to remove their shoes, but now everyone is. For that reason, you will to wear simple shoes that you can easily remove and put back on. Another air travel rule, recently implemented, is the ban of liquids. This means that adults are no longer allowed to bring a drink onboard, even bottled water. It also means that you are prohibited from placing liquid beauty supplies in your carryon luggage. One concern, made by many women, is the allowance of gel or water filled bras. Currently, you are allowed to wear these types of bras onboard an airplane. Honestly, unless you mention it to airport security, there is a good chance that they would never even know. Since there are really no rules or restrictions on the clothing that you can wear while flying the great skies, you need to choose for yourself. Whether you want to be fashionable or comfortable, it is all up to you.
What Happens to Your Banned Belongings at Airport Security?

If you have recently taken a flight or plan to, chances are you have seen information on the air travel rules. These rules include a wide variety of different topics, issues, and items; however, perhaps, one is more important than the rest. That air travel rule is the list of items that are prohibited from being taken on an airline, whether that ban only is for your carryon luggage or both your carryon luggage and checked baggage. Unfortunately, there are some mistakes that are made. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 92
2011
If you, intentionally or not, forget to remove a prohibited item from your bags, do you know what will happen to you or to that item? When it comes to prohibited items in airports, you will find that different consequences result. These consequences tend to depend on the airport you are in, the airline you are flying with, as well as the item that you were trying to get through security checkpoints. Essentially, if you were trying to sneak in a bottled water, the consequences would be far less than if you were trying to sneak in a gun, but there will still be consequences nonetheless. The most common action taken, when it comes to trying to board an airplane with prohibited items, is that you will be pulled aside by airport security or other airport staff. All bags, including checked luggage, are usually checked with you nearby. This is done to help ensure that no prohibited items are found. In the event that you are trying to store prohibited items, such as flammable objects, in your checked luggage, you will likely be asked to take the item to your car. In the event that you cannot, you may have to turn that item over to airport security. The same can be said for prohibited items in your carryon luggage. In most cases, you will be given an option as to what you want to do with your items. That is why it is advised that you arrive at the airport in advance. Two hours early is often the recommended time. This will ensure that you are able to make additional accommodations, should you find that you are prohibited from taking some of your belongings aboard the airplane. As previously mentioned, if you are unable to make accommodations for your belongings, you will have to turn them over to airport security. If you are like most other travelers you may be curious as to what happens with those items.
Page 93
2011
The items confiscated by airport security and what happens to those items will all depend in the airport in question. Each airport has their own way of dealing with confiscated items: It is not uncommon for these items to be taken, melted, and forever discarded. However, some airports are beginning to profit from the sale of prohibited items. A number of airports have sold these items, ranging from tools to lighters to scissors, themselves or with the assistance of an auction seller. Regardless of which action is taken, it is safe to say that you will no longer be able to recuperate your confiscated belongings. Instead of just kissing your banned items goodbye, you will find that a number of airports have begun establishing onsite mail service centers. These mail service centers are ideal for travelers who would be unable to make additional arrangements for their items, such as returning them to their vehicles. With mail service centers, you will need to pay for the supplies, but you can easily have your items mailed to your home. However, it is important to remember, that like all airports, the postal service also has a list of prohibited items. These items most commonly include flammable objects, such as lighters. Catch 22? Hey, leave that stuff at home. We repeat Although you have a number of different choices when it comes to taking care of your items that are banned from going past airport security checkpoints, it is probably best if you just leave those items as home. Reviewing the list of banned items before you start packing for your trip, is the best way to ensure that you are not left having to turn over some of your belongings to airport security.

Are You on The No-Fly List? What You Can Do

Each day, millions of Americas board an airplane. Although many of those individuals do not have a problem, others do. One of those problems may involve the no-fly list. While the no-fly list was designed to make air travel safer, there are some instances when the wrong individuals have been targeted. These mistakes often include mistaken identities or misspelled names. Despite what you are told or may think, there are ways that you can get yourself off of the no-fly list. Although you can get your name off the no-fly list, it is important to remember that it will not happen overnight. In fact, if you are notified that your name is on the no-fly list at the airport, it is almost a guarantee that you will not be able to board your plane. Since airport security cannot rely on your word, they will likely not allow you to proceed any further. In fact, you may even be detained a short period of time by airport security. Once you are released, you can begin taking the steps needed to have your name removed from the no-fly list. The first step in getting your name off the no-fly list is to the contact the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Once you are notified that your name is on the no-fly list, you should be provided with the contact information for the TSA. If you are not provided with this information, you can easily obtain the telephone number needed to directly contact the administration by visiting their Online Web site. That Online Web site can be found at www.tsa.gov. Once you have made contact with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), you will be provided with instructions on what to do next. Those instructions will likely include filling out a form that should be mailed to you. http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 95
2011
In addition to filling out the proper paperwork, you will also be asked to submit identification. In fact, you will need to submit more than one piece of identification. Most travelers need three different items. Accepted items include a drivers license, a government identification card, a military card, a social security card, a voter registration card, a passport, a visa, or a birth certificate.
Figure 62 - You will need to submit more than one piece of identification
Although only three pieces of identification are required, you may want to have additional identification documents on hand, just in case. After you have collected these items, they will need to be notarized by the proper officials. After you have submitted all of the required documents, the process should begin, which will result in your name being removed from the no-fly list. This process could take as little as a few weeks, but it could take months. You are advised against making any travel plans until you receive confirmation that your name has officially been removed from the no-fly list. Once your name has been removed, all airlines will be notified of this removal. This should mean that you are now able to purchase airline tickets and make travel plans. In addition to actually having your name on no-fly list, namely due to a mistake, there is a chance that someone else with the same name as you could be on the no-fly list. Despite the fact that you are not the one on the no-fly list, you may http://www.BambaExperience.com Page 96
2011
experience some problems. For that reason, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has developed a traveler verification program. In the event that you are commonly mistaken for someone else, it may be a good idea to register for that program. Information on this helpful program can be found by visiting the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)s Online Web site. As previously mentioned, that Web site can be found at www.tsa.gov. Although getting off the no-fly list may seem like a long and frustration task, it is something that you will want to do. Chances are your name will not magically disappear from the list. This means that if you are planning on traveling, now or in the near future, you will want to take the appropriate steps to ensure that you will make it to your intended destination.
