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!!!!

Not hanging up the traveling shoes yet?

I am not through with traveling tips and will probably continue to add them as it comes to mind.  Since 911 we have a new goverment group called the TSA or the Transportation Security Agency.  Now these are not bad people and I know that they are needed as the traveling public feels better with them around.  However they cost the airlines millions of dollars every year with the costs to deliver bags, damage to bags as they rips the suitcase open or even theft.  It can happen, just as I know there are airline employees that have sticky fingers.  Not many but a few.  In fact let me digress a little and tell you a story.

 

We have ended our contract with one ramp service here in Las Vegas and they are taking a few of the old ramp to the new ramp service.  They are going through extensive interveiws to make sure we   get the best of the old to go to the new.  One kid was asked why he want to work for this new company?  He said well it keeps me from doing car-jacking and robbery and I just wasn't cut out to flip burgers.  Needless to say he was not hired.

 

Anyway my point in telling you all of this about the TSA is sometimes they get backed up and bags do not get on your flight.  If you check in late chances are they are not going to get through security and you will have to file a claim when you get to your destination.  Then again if you check in too early you run the risk of it not getting loaded on the cart and you will still have to file a claim.  So baby bear what is just right?  For domestic flights 2 hours and for International flights 3 hours. is the correct answer.
