Dear Folks,

I come here for advice of all types. My son will be flying in about
two weeks to visit his brother. This will be his first time since a
very young child. No one else in my family has flown since then. I
know that a lot of things have changed and would appreciate any and all
advice.

He does plan on just an over night case which he'll keep with him.
There'll be no checked luggage. And I have told him to carry stuff to
do on the plane.

Thanks in Advance,

Vickie B.

A light jacket, shoes that can be easily slipped off for security check (and
for comfort during the flight), no belt, no keys, no metal anything. The
sightest ping of the metal detector and he'll be pulled out of line to be
more thoroughly inspected.

Depending on the length of the flight, a favorite paperback or big magazine,
light snacks like granola bars. Gum to chew during take-off so the ears
don't pop so bad. Take sudafed and hour or so before take-off if prone to
sinus congestion. It helps a lot! A little bit of cash in small bills, for
drinks on the plane. Some charge for soda now, too, I think.

Don't know how old your son is, but little handheld video games are fun for
everyone, as long as the sound is turned all the way down.:) Hope these tips
help, I haven't flown in a few years now, but these are the basics for me.
