flight tips

A lot of mishaps like lost luggage or missing a flight, caused by a pour planing of transit flights. Here are a few important tips that will help catch the connection flight in time, and arrive safely with all your baggage:

• Transit time: even though it’s boring to wait 3 or 4 hours to the continuation flight, the worst thing is to miss it, and wait some times for the nest day. So – leave your self enough time – at least an hour and a half – between the expected landing time, to the continuation flight – remember that today a lot of flights are delayed.
• It is better, if possible, to continue with the same airline, or with a code sharing airlines. that way you will get the tickets and the seats, for the next flight, in the first check in, and also will have a better chance to keep your luggage.
• Confirm  the airport of the next flight: sometimes, in a major cities, the transit includes changing airport. Check before the airport and be sure that you have enough time for the connection.
• Be sure that you have a visa! in some countries, including USA, you must have a visa, even if it just for transit.
• Compare the duration, the landing port and the prices: usually, in connection flight, you will have a few alternative. sometimes the supposedly short flight can take much longer, because of a longer transit, or because of landing in a more remote airport.
