pack your needed prescriptions in your checked luggage!!!!
5. When traveling with infants under 2, always have documentation on you proving the childs age.
6. Make sure you don't stink or wear indecent clothing....you may be denied boarding.
7. Never cut in line....Thats a big NO NO and while you're at it...dont make racial remarks. HELLO!
8. If you want to get an extra pass to bypass security, just go to baggage claim and make yourself look stupid.
9. When connecting on an international flight, allow yourself more time to make your flight. IN other words, catch the earliest flight you can and just wait at the damn airport.
10. If you really want to annoy your other passengers, start singing gosgel music.
Oh I learned #3. I was going from KY to LAX and I showed up 30 minutes early and had forgotten that I still had to check in bags. Turns out the individual at the counter could not get me on the plane (a seemingly obvious..no duh!) and I almost had to pay $500+ in new tickets. Good thing the airline I was on, the customer service people were really nice about it. I just had to pay the penalty of $75. Never again will I show up 30 minutes before departure, if I have to check-in bags.
