No more Car Rental booth at McCarran Airport

Take this bus to pick up your car

Recently the airport moved all of the car rental booths out of the airport and into its own building. Where each company used to have their own buses after you checked in at the airport. Now there is just one bus that takes you to all of the car rental booths.

After you get your bag go out doors 9, 11, 15 in other words the odd numbered side cross to the second island over and there will be your buses.

Wait A Minute This Is Not My Bag!

If This is Not My Bag then Where the Heck is Mine?

Have you ever arrived by airplane to a city and gone running up to the claim that had bags on it and just know you saw your bag. After all how many people have have black roller bags with red ribbon's? How many people have print bags with a piece of tape on it? How many people have the newest color? Lime green, bubble gum pink, sapphire blue? Or how about those new patterned bags? Mine is unique.

I can not tell you how many times a week I hear that story as the people who have to bring back a bag they have taken that is not theirs. But of course before that happens we have another passenger in the office that is upset their bag is not there. So after checking the computer and seeing that their bag was indeed scanned on to the flight. (airlines have gotten much better at scanning bags onto an aircraft. Sometimes things can still go wrong, but it is pretty good. If there is a lot of bad weather in the station where bags are being loaded or transfered scanning sometimes goes out the window.)

The computer has been checked and the bag should be there, our next question is "is there a bag out there that looks like yours?" Very often yes there is. Then starts our PI work we try and track the person down. We find out things like how many bags did they check? Are they traveling with anyone else? Phone numbers, nothing is sacred we have called wives and family members in the middle of the night where they are to get contact information.

So how do I know it is my bag even though it already looks like my bag. CHECK YOUR BAG TAG!!!!!

You were given at your check in bag receipts. The numbers match the tag that was put on your bag. Your name is also on the tag. Please before you leave the airport, check your bag tag in insure that the bag you take is your own. It will save everyone involved a lot of time, money and trouble.

If You Are Coming To Las Vegas For New Years

Bringing an airplane in to Vegas
for the New Year?

If you are are planning on flying into Las Vegas for all of the New Year festivities please pack what you are going to wear out in a carry on. If you bag gets delayed your chance of getting them back in time for the parties is not good. The strip shuts down to allow the people to mill around in the streets. The delivery companies can not deliver the bags. So pack what you are going to wear and if your bag gets delayed it will be there at the hotel on New Years morning.

Traveling this week?

If you are traveling this week

If you are traveling by air this week, be prepared for long lines at security. Please check in at least two hours before your flight so you are there in plenty of time. When you get to your destination and are picking up your bags, please double check you are taking the right bag. When you check in you are given baggage receipts that match the numbers on your bag tag. It is such a pain to take the wrong bag, get to your hotel or relatives house and have to turn around and return to the airport. Have fun but take your bag with you.

Happy Thanksgiving
