Helpful Travel Tips

* Print your tickets at home and avoid long check-in lines. Also print a copy or two of your itinerary. * Have your airline info on hand: saved in your laptop, or elsewhere on your person just in case. * Before you go, consider emailing yourself a list of important information so that in case you lose anything (or anything gets stolen), you'll have all the details you need to resolve the issue. * Keep your identification readily accessible. * Keep kids entertained, but don't bog them down with lots of stuff to carry. * When packing, store valuables in the largest compartment. Outer compartments are easier to break into and are a prime target for thieves. Instead, use the outer pouches for things like dirty clothes. * If you fear that you might have luggage issues at the airport, bring along a small, collapsible bag that can be used in the event that you overpack or are caught with prohibited items that you can't carry onboard. * Pack a set of each person's clothing in someone else's bag in case your luggage is lost. * Don't forget to bring all chargers for your electronic devices. * Always keep car or house keys with you in your carry-on.  If your bags get lost, the last thing you want to worry about is calling a locksmith to let you in your home.
