Our number one airline travel tip is: Check in early!

Airlines require domestic travelers to check-in 1 hour prior to departure. International flights require a 2 hour check-in. If you do not arrive on time and if the flights are overbooked, the possibility exists that your seat will be given away. In addition, there will be a greater opportunity when you arrive early to have your name on the “top of the list” for an upgrade.

Be aware that some airlines have restricted carry on luggage policies. For example:

Northwest - Maximum check-in is two and carryon luggage is limited to one piece plus a purse/briefcase/laptop computer for all flights. First class international is allowed two carry on items.

American/TWA - Check one and carryon two or check two and carryon one.

Delta - Check one and carry-on two or check two and carry-on one.

Southwest - Check up to three and carryon two.

United - One carryon in economy and two in business/first class.

USAir - Carryon two

Continental - Carryon two

Store your carryon luggage in the compartment across from you so you can keep an eye on it.
