Im just getting my stuff ready for a trip this weekend to viginia to see my new granddaughter .
what a palarva to follow all the rules about boarding and take on baggage .
being as i am one to do things by the book i downloaded the permitted and prohibited items for tcarry on luggage ( im only taking a overnight bag for the 4 day trip ).
personal items everything liquid or gel must be in 3 oz or smaller containers .
toothpaste 3 oz i found with that in hand and a new toothbrush i proceeded to the *mens isle* disposable razors found but then a snag could i find any shaving cream /soap in 3 oz or under containers i could not . finaly settling on a cheap mug soap and a shaving bowl i had at home to complete my tioleties .
there is a clear picture on the site of a clear plastic bag 7in by 7 that these item with any other creams .jels , lubricants ?? MUST FIT into easily with cuticule cutters and a small aftershave lotion in a plastic bottle i filled the plastic bag * a zip up bag i borrowed from the kitchen *
now medicines these also have to be declared as mine are all in pill form i see no problem there .
Printing of the itenary and e ticket i see my prechoosen seat on one of the flights has been changed , so out with the cell phone and a call to the airline .
i must have a isle seat cus of my arthritic knees need to stretch and walk about a bit expecially on a 3 hour flight .
after a short but firm discussion with the airline repersentative i managed to claim a isle seat again 9B two seat side, not the aircraft side i prefer * left knee is the worst so ill settle for that unless there is a cancellation more favourable at check in ..
did you know about a site called seat guru ...
http//www.seatguru.com/
on here you can find the aircraft you are booked on and see which seats are favourable "green" be aware " yellow " and piss poor " red "
now i have "green seats " on all sectors .
apparantly the isle seats are the most in demand looking at the available seating on a few chosen flights at random not to many had isle seats available for the picking ,the middle * red " seat was availble thoughout the aircraft on all of the flights .
another item to look for on seat guru is which seat has a power plug avialable . sit in front of that row if you can , then there is no dickhead behind complaining he cant use his lap top when you recline for snooze time .
cant wait to see my 3 month old grandchild after all the hazzle .
