|
Limit your bags to one large bag
as this is the limit to our our porterage service and one carry-on.
Typically airlines will allow 1 checked piece limited to 50lbs.
One pound over weight and they will impose fees from $50 to $100.
To avoid airline surcharges, these may be no more than 62 linear
inches (a combination of length, width & depth) and weigh a maximum
of 50 lbs each for domestic air. International carriers now
also set limit of 50 lbs per
bag. |

Airport Security
Measures
The U.S. Transportation Administration has introduced new airport
security rules in light of the recent announcement of a thwarted terror
plot in Britain. The TSA has posted answers to some frequently asked
questions on their website and will continue to update them as measures
evolve. Here are the major changes that affect travelers:
At U.S. Airports (Other countries may vary)
No liquids or gels of any kind will be permitted in carry-on baggage.
Such items must be in checked baggage. This includes all beverages,
shampoo, suntan lotion, creams, tooth paste, hair gel, and other items
of similar consistency.
Exceptions: Medicines, which must be presented for
inspection at the checkpoint. Prescription medicine that matches the
passenger's name is permitted. Essential non-prescription medicines such
as insulin are permitted.
Beverages purchased in the boarding area, beyond the checkpoint, must be
consumed before boarding because they will not be permitted onboard the
aircraft.
Laptop computers, cell phones and other electronic items ARE still
allowed on board.
Arrival time: Passengers should consult their individual airline, but
the TSA recommends arriving at least two hours in advance of flight
time. Again, keep in mind that if it is necessary to remove liquids at
the checkpoint, time will be added to the process.
Additional bag searches: There will be more hand searches of bags at the
checkpoint and a bag check at the gate immediately prior to boarding the
aircraft.
Note: Passengers traveling from the United Kingdom to the United States
will be subject to a more extensive screening process.
