May. 18, 2006 - What if your airplane is late?

There is a federal law called The Passenger Disclosure Law.  An agent is not allowed to give out information on a passenger.  There is an exception to this rule.  If in your reservation you have the agent put in that information is allowed to be given.  The person picking you up needs to know that information is there so they can tell the airport agent, as they will not automatically pull up the reservation.    Even if you do the reservation on line call the airline and have them put the information in.  There are soooo many nights that people come in wanting to know what flight people are on, we can not tell them.  

This law came about after an angry X husband found out what flight his wife was on and blew her away.  A person may not be able to do that anymore as someone comes off a plane, but they could do it in the Baggage area at least in Las Vegas.  We have no one protecting our backs in this area of the airport.  I try not to think about someone coming in with a bag and sitting it on a carasoul when there are thousands of people in the baggage area.  Spooky!!!!
