Airline Travel Tips

• Our #1 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.
  
  
• Be aware that some airlines have restricted carry-on luggage policies.
  
  
• Store your carry-on luggage in the compartment across from you so you can keep an eye on it.
  
  
• Be sure to keep your passport with you.
  
  
• Be aware of Humanitarian Travel’s emergency service telephone numbers (International / domestic). This will help you with questions concerning your ticket or itinerary changes. The number is printed on all itineraries. Calling the airline directly can cause confusion and be costly.
  
  
• Never make enemies or be abrasive with airline ticket agents or gate agents. Regardless of the situation, most people are more than accommodating when approached with respect.
