What The Airlines Don’t Tell You
Never accept the first fare quoted. Half the time, some other airline’s flight within hours of the one you booked has a special, less expensive deal.
Take advantage of “illegal” connections. These are connecting fights usually less than 45 minutes apart-too close for airlines to feel safe in making them connect. Result.- These flights usually do not even show up on the computer when your trip is being routed. Have your agent write up your flight on two separate tickets. The second is for the illegal connection that originates at your transfer point.
Example: You arrive at O’Hare in Chicago on the way to San Francisco.
Instead of waiting three hours for the safe connecting flight, you already have a separate ticket from O’Hare to San Francisco on an illegal connection. If you miss the connection, you turn that ticket in for the next available flight. Cost for two separate tickets.- No more than one through ticket. Baggage.- Waiting for it to be unloaded can cost you valuable time on this tight schedule. Best.- Travel with carry-on luggage.
Some supersaver fares are so low that even if you can’t stay as long as their requirements (some ally seven days), you will save by buying two round-trip tickets-one from your home to your destination for the day you want to leave and one from your destination to your home for
the day you want to return. The total may be less than the regularround-trip fare.
If you miss your flight and there’s just time to catch another, go right to the other airline’s departure gate instead of to its ticket counter. If it has an empty seat, the second airline will usually honor the ticket for the flight you missed.
Best seat in the plane. After first class, the choices center on your priorities. For comfort and a smooth ride, pick a seat over the wings. For silence, sit as far forward as possible, but avoid the galley and rest rooms. For leg room, try the first row or seats beside the emergency exits.
Then sit back and enjoy your flight to your fabulous vacation!
Treat Yourself to Great Luggage!
When it comes to luggage, there’s no sense in purchasing a low quality luggage set. The best luggage sets will last for decades, and it’s smarter and much more affordable to opt for purchasing a single executive luggage set instead of purchasing multiple inexpensive luggage sets throughout a lifetime. When choosing an executive luggage set, it’s important to be aware of the factors that cause luggage to wear down over time. Luggage that’s made from leather, for example, is much more resilient than that made of other fabrics like nylon. It’s also a good idea to check reviews of the manufacturer’s luggage as a whole. The internet is always a great resource for reading owner reviews of various luggage sets.
For those who own a quality executive luggage set, make sure to take care of it when it’s not in use. Store it in a cool and dry place, and make sure the luggage is emptied out when it is not in use. When taking the luggage on trips, slap a “Fragile” sticker on the top of it, and airport workers just might be a little more liable to handle it with care!
What to do about lost luggage.
Eventually, if your luggage doesn’t arrive, you and the airline will have to face up to an ugly truth - your luggage has disappeared.
First thing you have to do is put in a claim, itemize the contents and value including the cost of your suitcase. Don’t exaggerate because if you do it can be very embarrassing if they find your suitcase and what you told them isn’t true.
It will almost certainly take more than a week for your red luggage set to be deemed lost, and perhaps as much as a month. It also depends on the airlines how this is handled, whether it was a domestic flight, international flight etc. If you require more detailed information go to google and type in lost luggage.
All of the Baggage You Need
When you are an executive for a major company, an $8 backpack isn’t going to cut it as a carry-on. In order to look the part and garner the respect that you deserve, you are going to need quality bags and luggage. One of the best ways to save money and get everything that you need in one purchase is with an executive luggage set.
Executive luggage sets feature a variety of bags of all sizes, so you get carry-on and check-sized baggage in one matching set. Many even include specialty luggage, like laptop briefcases and overnight bags. There are a variety of sets from trusted manufacturers, like Coleman and Voyage, and when you buy in a set you are sure to get the best possible deal.
Won’t Wrinkle Your Clothing
My sister is so picky about her clothing. Not only does she have firm opinions on how it should be hung and folded, she is also obsessive about how it should be packed. That means she’ll spend hours making sure it organized correctly in her suitcases.
Last Christmas I had a great idea. I decided I would buy her some new luggage as a gift so that maybe she wouldn’t have to spend so much time packing for her next trip. The CAYMAN 3pc Spinner Hardcase Luggage Collection that I bought her is roomy and closes without smashing freshly-ironed clothing.
Baggage Tips
No one wants lost or damaged luggage sets. Here are some tips to help you and your luggage have an effortless trip.
Before Your Trip
Put your name and the phone number of your destination on the inside and outside of your bag.
Don’t wrap your gifts since all luggage is subject to inspection.
Travel light when you can. Try bringing one carry-on bag that will fit underneath the seat in front of you.
Don’t overstuff your bag. That makes it more likely to get damaged.
Make sure your bags don’t have any straps or hooks sticking out that could get caught on something and damage your bag.
Stay within the Baggage Allowance.
Carry valuables, medication, and travel documents in your carry-on luggage.
Pack anything that might leak inside an air-tight plastic bag.
Know the rules for any of your stuff that might be considered Dangerous Goods. That includes what to do with those spare batteries.
Know the requirements for the Security Checkpoints where you’ll be traveling. There are still restrictions on Liquids and Containers.
During Your Trip
Check with our airport agents if you need extra Packaging.
Check as many as your 5 piece luggage set as possible to make clearing Security Checkpoints smooth and fast.
Sexy Caddies It Weren’t
My husband loves to golf and it almost ruined our marriage. It’s not what you think; an affair with a sexy, young caddy or too many cans of beer on the course. Our problem was much worse I must admit. I’ll be straight with you - I almost ruined his favorite pastime by polishing his gold clubs with jewelry cleaner. Yeah I know, golf clubs aren’t diamond earrings, but what did he expect - they were dirty! When Mitzel discovered that I had cleaned his precious clubs, he accused me of trying to turn him into a girl. He actually said, “should I put on a tutu and some lipstick?”
Our marriage suffered badly. For nearly two hours we didn’t even hum together (one of our favorite pastimes) and later that night he didn’t even feed me my favorite snack: sardines. Truly, I felt lost. That night I had a dream that I would buy him a golf bag travel cover to make up for my indiscretion. The next day I did and Mitzel cried tears of joy. That night he met me on the couch with sardines in hand! He even dipped them in my favorite condiment: ketchup! Love was in the air that night!
Purchasing Discounted Luggage

Nothing is worse than packing your clothes in mom’s old dilapidated luggage set that smells of dust and perfume. Purchasing a new luggage set ensures your clothing arrives on location in much the same condition as when it left, and also displays your sense of fashion. However, let’s face it, luggage sets are expensive! When it comes to discount luggage sets, you can save a lot of money by purchasing older sets. Just like fashionable clothes, totes, and shoes, luggage goes in and out of style.
Now you shouldn’t purchase a new luggage set discounted in the 1980s, but most luggage retailers discount their older models after just a couple years. There’s nothing wrong with these older models, they’re just being replaced by different fashions. When you’re searching for a discount on luggage, be sure to check out the older sets, you never know what you might find!
