Travel Assistant from TSA

The Screening Experience

Everyone who travels by air goes through airport security checkpoints. These checkpoints are operated by Transportation Security Officers from the Transportation Security Administration.

The checkpoints are there to make sure that terrorists can’t bring anything aboard the plane that would enable them to take it over or destroy it. These are called “prohibited items” and cannot be brought to a checkpoint, into the secure area of an airport, or aboard an aircraft.

Not only do all passengers go through checkpoints, their checked baggage is also screened. This may happen out of passengers’ view depending on the physical configuration at each airport.

It’s a good idea to prepare before you arrive at the airport so that you move more quickly and efficiently through the security process. Here are some suggestions to help make the process as smooth as possible.

Dress the Part

There’s no particular style or type of clothing that you should wear from a security point of view. You are permitted to wear head coverings and religious garmentsduring the screening process.You may be directed to additional screening if your clothing (religious or otherwise) is loose fitting or large enough to hide prohibited items.

In addition, certain clothing and accessories can set off an alarm on the metal detector and slow you down. Avoid wearing clothing, jewelry or other accessories that contain metal when traveling through the security checkpoints:

• Heavy jewelry (including pins, necklaces, bracelets, rings, watches, earrings, body piercings, cuff links, lanyards or bolo ties)
• Clothing with metal buttons, snaps or studs
• Metal hair barrettes or other hair decoration
• Belt buckles
• Under-wire bras
• Hidden items such as body piercings may result in your being directed to additional screening for a pat-down inspection. If selected for additional screening, you may ask to remove your body piercing in private as an alternative to the pat-down search.
• Take metal items such as keys, loose change, mobile phones, pagers, and personal data assistants (PDAs) out of your pockets.
• Place heavy jewelry and other metal items in your carry-on baggage or in plastic bags if they are offered, until you clear security.
• Pack all your coats and jackets in your baggage when possible. All coats and jackets must go through the X-ray machine for inspection. These include, but are not limited to, trench coats, heavy winter coats, suit jackets, sport coats and blazers. If you choose to wear an outer coat or jacket to the checkpoint, you will need to either place it in your carry-on or put it in the bin that is provided for you.

Disposable booties or slippers may be worn through the checkpoint to help protect your feet, but they must be disposed of prior to leaving the screening area.

Gel-filled bras are permitted through security screening and aboard aircraft.

TSA Security Officers have to identify any metal that is detected at the checkpoint. If you set off the alarm, you will undergo additional screening. This includes a hand-wand and pat-down inspection.

You can remove metal items at the security checkpoint and place them in the plastic bags offered at several airports or in the bins provided. The bins will be sent through the X-ray machine. You can save time by not wearing metal items or by placing them in your carry-on baggage before getting in line.

What You Need

We encourage each adult traveler to keep his/her airline boarding pass and government-issued photo ID available until exiting the security checkpoint (children are not required to show identification). The absence of proper identification will result in additional screening.

There are four ways to obtain a boarding pass:

• Go to your airline’s ticket counter at the airport
• Use curbside check-in
• Use your airline’s self-service ticket kiosk in the airport lobby
• Print the boarding pass from your airline’s website

If you aren’t traveling and need to go through the security checkpoint to accompany someone such as a child or other traveler with medical conditions who is traveling, check with the airline for required documentation.

Do I Have to Remove My Shoes?

Yes, you are required to remove your shoes before you enter the walk-through metal detector. This includes all types of footwear, including sandals. Officers need to screen all shoes to ensure that they haven’t been tampered with.

Please remove your shoes before entering the metal detector and put them directly on the belt to go through the X-ray machine instead of in a bin with your other items. It’s safe, easy, and gives us a better look at your shoes so we won’t need to rescreen them.

If you have a disability, medical conditions or a prosthetic device that prevents you from removing your shoes, please notify the security officer. You will be given additional screening that his includes a visual and physical inspection as well as explosives trace detection sampling of the footwear while it remains on your feet.

Why do we screen shoes? TSA instituted mandatory shoe screening as an additional security measure when the threat level for the aviation sector went to Orange, or high on August 10, 2006. Screening shoes by X-ray is an effective method of identifying any type of anomalies, including explosives. Screening shoes increases security at the checkpoint.

Keep Your Experience Simple

Take metal items such as keys, loose change, mobile phones, pagers and personal digital assistants (PDAs) out of your pockets. Put these in your carry-on, or in a plastic bag. This keeps lines moving and your experience more pleasant. Try to avoid wearing anything with metal, clothing, jewelry or other accessories that contain metal such as, heavy jewelry, clothing with metal buttons or snaps, belt buckles or under-wire bras.

Pack your coats and jackets in your baggage when possible.  All coats and jackets that you are carrying must go through the X-ray machine for inspection.  If you choose to wear an outer coat or jacket to the checkpoint, you will need to either pack it in your carry-on baggage or put it in one of the bins we provide.

You may be additionally screened because of hidden items such as body piercings, which alarmed the metal detector.  If you are selected for additional screening, you may ask to remove your body piercing in private as an alternative to a pat-down search.

Travel Tips to Make Your Screening Experience Hassle-Free

• The secret to getting through security smoothly is to de-clutter your carry-on bag. This lets our Transportation Security Officers get a clear, uncomplicated X-ray image of your carry-on.
• When possible, keep packing liquids in checked baggage. You will get through security faster.
• Limit quantities to what is needed for the duration of the flight.

Items purchased in the secure boarding area are for use on the immediate flight. If you must leave the secure boarding area and re-enter through the screening checkpoint, items exceeding 3 ounces that are not in the zip-top bag will again be prohibited.

The ban on liquids, aerosols and gels was implemented on August 10 after a terrorist plot was foiled. Since then, experts from around the government, including the FBI and our national labs have analyzed the information we now have and have conducted extensive explosives testing to get a better understanding of this specific threat. These changes are intended to enhance security and balance human needs because we have a better understanding of the threat and security risks associated with liquids, aerosols and gels.

In addition, TSA will be enhancing security measures throughout the airport environment – more random screening of employees, additional canine patrols, stronger air cargo security measures, more rigorous identity verification, deploying more trained security officers in bomb appraisal, and screening by observation techniques.

Tips for Finding Cheap Airfare

10 easy ways to save on your next flight

Think you need a vacation now? Just wait until you’re scouring dozens of booking sites, aggregators and airline Web sites to find cheap tickets for your next trip — then you’ll really be ready for a week off!

Unfortunately for weary travelers, there’s no real shortcut to finding cheap airfare. As with any purchase, you need to shop around to get the best deal — by trying different booking sites, altering your dates and waiting until just the right time to purchase. But if you’re willing to put in a little time and effort, you could save big on your next flight. Want to learn how? Read on for our top 10 tips — and then share your own!

1. Buy Early
Especially during peak travel periods, making reservations late in the game can cost you a lot of money. Airline ticket prices typically go up 21 days, 14 days, 7 days and 3 days before flying, so if you’re planning ahead, try to make the call before these deadlines. And if you’re traveling internationally, you’ll want to book even earlier — from three to six months in advance — for the best deals. However, sometimes you can get lucky if you wait, which brings us to:

2. Buy Late
Often you can buy tickets at the very last minute for a great price, if the airlines have failed to fill their planes. Many airlines offer weekly newsletters that feature their best last-minute deals. You can also find many of them listed in our Travel Deals section, or at specialized sites like LastMinuteTravel.com. If you can stand the suspense, and if you are flexible with your itinerary, you can find fantastic money-savers to very attractive travel destinations.

3. Shop Around
No matter how good it sounds, you should never book the first fare you see. Start your search by checking a few of the major online travel providers, like Travelocity, aggregator sites like Kayak.com or consolidators like CheapTickets.com. This will give you a preliminary idea of which airline flies your particular itinerary, what the going rate is and what restrictions might apply. Armed with this information, you can head directly to the appropriate airline Web site to see if the same flights are any cheaper (some airlines guarantee to offer the lowest possible fares on their own Web sites). While you’re there, check to see if the airline is running any sales or promotions to your destination.

If you don’t see anything in your preferred price range, don’t be afraid to bide your time and watch the fares for a bit. Most major booking sites have alert features that will e-mail you when your fare drops to a price you’re willing to pay.

4. Know When to Buy
The hardest part of booking a flight is knowing when to stop tracking fares and make that final purchase. If you’re flying within the U.S. or to select destinations in Canada and the Caribbean, Bing Travel can help you reach that decision, offering fare predictions for most major cities. Just plug in your itinerary and the site will advise you either to book now or to wait, depending on whether the fare is expected to rise or drop. Another useful site is Kayak.com, which displays the fare history for domestic and international flights, allowing you to see whether your fare is headed in an upward or downward direction.

Finally, keep in mind that most airlines launch fare sales on Tuesdays and Wednesdays — so if you decide to buy on a Monday, you may be gnashing your teeth on Tuesday when your destination goes on sale.

5. Be Flexible
If you live close to more than one airport, check out the fares from all of the airports near you. Many online fare searching engines will ask you if you are willing to depart from or arrive in more than one city. Yes! Also, experiment with different travel dates; shifting your itinerary by a week or even a few days can make a significant difference in fares. You’ll usually find the best deals on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

6. Don’t Forget the Discounters
As their nickname suggests, discount airlines can save you a bundle, but they’re not always easy to find. Luckily for consumers, discounters are cropping up more frequently on aggregators and booking sites (Kayak now offers fares for JetBlue, Spirit and AirTran, for example) — but there are still a few holdouts, such as Southwest and Allegiant Air, whose fares can’t be found anywhere but their own Web sites. If you’re traveling outside the U.S., don’t forget to check the international discounter airlines as well.

7. Use Your Frequent Flier Miles
Why pay a fare at all when you can use your frequent flier miles? Although redeeming miles has gotten more difficult in recent years, it’s still a good option to consider, particularly if you’re booking early; airlines designate a very limited number of seats on each flight as eligible for award travel, and these seats go quickly.

8. Get a Refund When Fares Go Down
If fares go down after you’ve purchased your ticket, ask for a refund! You may not always get one, but policies vary by airline — and many do not publicize the fact that they will refund you the difference if prices go down. It can’t hurt to ask.

Yapta.com is a site that will track flights for you after you purchase and notify you if the fares go down.

9. Consider an Air Pass
In order to promote tourism in their countries, many national airlines offer air passes at reduced rates for tourists. If you’re planning to do extensive travel in one country or region, an air pass might be your most cost-effective option. Qantas offers the Aussie AirPass for travel throughout Australia, while Cathay Pacific has a similar product for flights throughout Asia. For more information, see our guide to air passes. Planning an even bigger trip? Look into around-the-world tickets and fares.

10. Check for Deals and Discounts
Don’t forget to check our comprehensive Travel Deals for the latest fare sales — we post new ones every weekday. If you or your traveling companions are senior citizens or children, you’ll want to take a peek at our senior and family areas as well.

Fat-Finger Fares

The ultimate cheap airfare prices

Top 10 Tips for getting the Cheapest Airfare

#1 Be flexible with your travel dates.

If you insist on traveling on specific dates you’ll pay a lot more. If you can leave or return even a day earlier or later you’ll often save you a lot of money. Use Travelocity to find airfares for flexible travel dates. Kayak and Orbitz also have flexible date finders but they’re not quite as, er, flexible.

This is our #1 tip for getting the best airfare! Ignore it at your peril.

Sample fares we just checked¹:

• $444 - Insist on leaving on the 5th and returning on the 7th
• $333 -Willing to leave on the 5th and return on the 8th

For international flights the difference can be even greater.

---

#2 Book at least two weeks ahead, preferably three.

When you buy early you save. Book at least two weeks before your flight (preferably three), and at least 30 days for international flights.

Sample fares we just checked²:

• $444 - Booked 5 days in advance
• $261 - Booked 19 days in advance
• $192 - Booked 26 days in advance

---

#3 Staying over Saturday no longer necessary.

So far as I can tell, the old conventional wisdom of staying over a Saturday night before returning is no longer necessary. I tried numerous searches and the return flight was never any cheaper if I set it for Sunday or later.

---

#4 Fly mid-week if you can.

Weekend flights are usually more expensive because that’s when most people fly. Flying midweek usually means a cheaper fare.

Sample fares we just checked³:

• $412 – Leave Sunday, return next Sunday
• $337 – Leave Monday, return next Monday
• $337 – Leave Friday, return next Friday
• $314 – Leave Tue/Wed/or Thu, return next Tue/Wed/Thu

---

#5 Using neighboring airports sometimes gets you cheaper airfares.

Several times we’ve saved a lot of money by flying into the Newark, NJ airport instead of into a New York airport, even though each was about the same distance from our destination in New York City. Once we saved $200 by flying into Philadelphia instead of Atlantic City, then took a $6 train ride (1.5 hours) to Atlantic City. Kayak, Travelocity and Orbitz can automatically search neighboring airports for you. Kayak is nice by giving you a nice list of the prices for each airport it finds (rather than dumping all the results together.

---

#6 Always check the round-trip price even if you’re flying one-way.

For some bizarre reason, one-ways often cost more than round-trip. We just checked Austin to San Jose, and round trip was $274, while one-way was over $700! On international flights the savings can be even bigger. Tokyo to Las Vegas in 2007: round trip $930, one-way $1720.

#7 Avoid busy holiday dates

Most people leave the day before Thanksgiving and return the Sunday after. For that reason those are the most expensive dates to travel. You’ll save money if you travel on Thanksgiving Day itself, or if you return the following Friday, Saturday, or Monday.

Expensive	Cheaper
Day before Thanksgiving	Thanksgiving Day itself
The Sunday after Thanksgiving	The Friday, Saturday or Monday after Thanksgiving

Sample Thanksgiving fares we checked4
Price	Wed.	Thu.	Fri.	Sat.	Sun.	Mon.
$498
$495
$417
$363
$363
$350
$348
$340

---

#8 Book multi-city trips using the special search

If you’re traveling to City A, then to City B, then returning to your original city, use the special Multi-City search provided by most search engines. Momondo and Hotwire are the only major engines that don’t offer this feature.

---

#9 For U.S. to Europe, fly to London first

Kelly Fine of Alternative Wedding Ceremonies writes: “We found that it was much cheaper to fly to London on one airline and fly from London to the Continent on another airline. This seemed to be true no matter what city in Europe we wanted to go to. And it was impossible to find a cheap flight from anywhere to Bratislava, so we found a flight to Vienna, which is only a little over an hour by bus from Bratislava. Flying into central and eastern Europe is much more expensive than flying to western Europe.”

---

#10 Use the proper website to search for airfare

If your travel dates are super-flexible, try Travelocity or Orbitz.

For semi-flexible or specific-date U.S. flights, use Kayak & Southwest.

For international flights, use Kayak, Momondo and Mobissimo.

Tip For Best Purchase Time of Airline Tickets

Tip For Best Purchase Time of Airline Tickets

What’s the absolute best time to purchase a ticket directly from the airlines? Turns out it’s Wednesday from midnight to 1a.m. in the time zone of the airline’s “home base.” (For instance, Delta is headquartered in Utah Atlanta and United currently calls Chicago home.)

Why? That’s when the computer systems of most airlines get rid of the reserved but unbooked lower fare reservations. Most of us at one time or another have booked a reservation, then let it go without purchase. Snap-up these discounted fares right after this happens and you’re likely to get a significant discount.

How To Buy Cheap Airline Tickets

• The cost of the airfare depends on the time gap between your date of departure and the booking date. Remember, the greater the time gap, the lower will be the cost of your ticket. Hence, try booking your airline tickets in advance and do not wait for the last minute.
• In case you would be coming back to your present destination at a determined date, it is better to purchase the air ticket on a return trip basis. Return tickets usually cost less than two one-way tickets.
• Low cost airline tickets are available in the middle of the week rather than on weekends. Fridays and Mondays prove to be the most expensive days to travel while Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the cheapest days to fly on.
• Flying during the season period is always expensive. Hence, June, July, August and December should be avoided as schools are off during these months plus it’s festive time.
• Always compare and contrast the different airline companies for the airfares that they are offering for the same destination. At times, you might just be paying more than you should. Hence, look out for the various options available that can help you save a lot of money.
• In case you have time, you can combine your route from multiple destinations between your departure and destination cities. Connecting flights usually have an overall low cost as compared to direct flights that have expensive fare.
• While heading for vacation destination to unwind yourself, enroll yourself into one of those combined hotel and air packages being offered. All leading travel groups offer air and hotel travel packages. Such packages are assembled at a discounted rate, when purchased together. All in all, getting an air and hotel package together costs lesser than looking for a cheap flight and a cheap hotel.
• Most airlines offer cheap, discount summer or cheap spring tickets. While purchasing a ticket, thoroughly search through the net or call airlines and travel agents for those special fares.
• Update yourself on airfare wars to avail the best prices by watching news and reading the newspaper. Major airlines and upcoming airline companies offer limited-time promotional fares. Watch out for them!
• Apart from getting tickets from travel agents and online booking engines, you can also consider consolidators. A consolidator is a wholesaler that buys tickets in bulk in advance. Thus, you can find one consolidator to get cheap airline tickets. The only problem with these tickets is that they are non refundable and brutal cancellation penalties.

Discount Airline Tickets

How to book airline travel online without pulling your hair out! Tips for buying discount airline tickets online and getting free plane tickets.

By BrianX


Most of us fly to get to exotic locations. Here are some tips you could use to get better deals.

How to Buy Airline Tickets Online!
Online airline tickets are deeply discounted because the airlines sell about 7-100 seats on each flight to contracted online vendors. For example, Expedia.com may get 3 seat on United Flight 233 LAX to ORD and they buy the 3 for $100 each and resell them for $125.00 then sell the other seats like everyone else.

On a flight with 300 seats, the airlines have a set number of seats at a set price. This is called “A class of service.” The lowest class of service is the cheapest and sell first. These seats are also allotted to companies to buy in advance, as in the example above. A flight price could go something like this:

10 seats, Y class (Class of service) sell for $100 each
50 seats, X class sell for $110 each
75 seats, S class sell for $150 each
100 seats, C class sell for $300 each
And so on…

So if there are 5 of you traveling, you’re going to see $550 in your search price (5x$110). But if you buy 1, 2, or 3 tickets at a time you may get them for the $300 price (from another class – 3x$100), depending on how many are left on that site for that class. One of the main problems is that no one knows how many discount airline tickets are available at any given time. You have to take it from 5 to 4 to 3 to 2 to 1 and you may find that that is all the airlines have sold in total! But, it’s still better than $300 per person for everyone.

Remember: most discount airline tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. You book that discounted airline ticket and you go! However, as of September 2003 some airlines began letting travelers use their tickets for future travel, provided that the discounted airline tickets “change fee” is paid for (around $100) and changed BEFORE the scheduled departure date on the original ticket that was purchased.

Regarding last minute travel and discount airline tickets: The highest price tickets are 14 days before travel. Try to find the discount seats discussed above, if there are any seats left to buy the original discount.

Get the Cheapest Flights with These Tips
Now that you know how the system works, you can combine it with some other advice on how to book discount airline tickets. Keep these tips in mind as you plan your vacation and flights. Here are some BrianX Magazine tips for you:

When to Buy

Although there have been some people saying this isn’t completely accurate, it is commonly believed that the major plane ticket search engines (Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz, Hotwire, Priceline, and so on) release their new prices on Wednesdays. So when you buy plane tickets online, you can get the best deals on Wednesday from midnight to around 5am. The BrianX rule here would be that, well, hey , you have nothing to lose by trying! On the other hand, if it’s getting close to your deadline and you find a really good deal, just take it and don’t wait to see what comes up. There’s never a guarantee that a flight will be discounted just because it’s Wednesday. Also, as technology changes, it’s likely that airline ticket pricing and sales methods will change along with it so the “Wednesday rule” is probably/possibly a thing of the past, if it was ever true.

Time of Year

Consider the time of year. Summer is high season and you’ll find some of the highest rates in June and July. Another peak travel period is winter holiday time between Christmas and New Years. If you’re looking for discount airline tickets during these times, it will be tough. If you fly mid-January to the end of February, April through May, mid-September to mid-December, you should be able to buy your airline tickets at a discount. Less people are flying during those times and so the rates are better.

Date Flexibility

If you are more flexible with the dates you choose, you are more likely to get a better rate. For example, if you can fly on January 4th instead of January 2nd, you could benefit from a lower fare. Avoiding holidays altogether is best. Also, the earlier in advance that you book, the more you can save. Even 2 weeks of notice can save you money.

Flying on Major Holidays

You can get a bigger discount on airline tickets by flying on the day of a major holiday. For example, the price for flying on Christmas Day (December 25) will be cheaper because everyone wants to be at their destination by then. In fact, if you do fly on that day, you’ll have almost the entire plane to yourself in many cases.

Netfares are deals offered by airlines that are only available if you book with their online system. That saves their customer service people time and easily ensures a booked seat.

Most people buy return tickets but in case you want a one-way plane ticket, make sure you check the return rate. Traveling both ways can actually be cheaper (even if you only use half the ticket)!

Weekends Versus Weekday Flights

Weekends are usually more expensive than weekdays. That’s because most people have short trips over the weekend. There use to be a system where staying over an a Saturday night would get you a better discount but that’s not true anymore.

If you are looking online for discount airline tickets, be sure to check out several websites. Different airline ticket websites offer a range of prices and all have their own policies and approaches. You should also consider speaking to a travel agent who may be able to get you an equally good deal.

Package Deals

You may be able to get a better discount if you purchase a package deal. For example, if you fly to Los Angeles and book a hotel room, rent a car, and have your flight included, you are more likely to get a good deal.

Many online airfare ticket brokers have an automated system where you choose a destination and price and they will email you every time that price is offered. Sign up with these!

Try to fly on the same airline each time you travel. That way you can build up frequent flyer points and miles which you can redeem for free airline tickets. If you are planning to fly very far (such as from New York to Sydney Australia) you will get so many points that you may even qualify for a short flight within the US (such as New York City to Boston). Make sure you are using those frequent flyer benefits!

Types of Discount Airline Tickets
While most people can use the above ticket buying tips, some people even qualify for especially cheap airline rates. For example, military discount airline tickets are available to qualified personnel and students frequently get an added discount. Whether you are flying to Hawaii, Latin America, or Hong Kong, you can use these tips to get a cheaper flight. In fact, these tips will be even more powerful and helpful towards getting deep discount airline tickets by simply traveling to Boston, New York, Las Vegas or Los Angeles! One last point about buying plane tickets at cheaper prices is that some airlines give you better rates if you book online versus calling them or getting tickets through your travel agent.

While it may be more difficult to get discount international airline tickets, you can find deals online. On the other hand, American airlines such Delta, United airlines, and well, American Airlines, tend to offer exceptionally great deals for people traveling within the continental United States.

The Increasing Costs of Travel

Some of the rules for a lower priced ticket

Airlines like to play follow the leader. One starts a seat sale – the others match it. One changes a key policy – and others are sure to follow. For airlines, no policy is ever set in stone.

An example of altering policy (in this case to the detriment of the flying public) is with US Airways and its if-you-don’t-use-you-lose ticketing policy. And in the copy cat ways of airlines, it appears that other large U.S. carriers have followed suit.
