patgundAs I mentioned yesterday, I made the flight reservations to head out to Dallas/Ft. Worth (and surrounding area) next month.
As I was booking my flight on Expedia, I noticed all the work info in my account was for my previous job atthe DotCom from hell WebSideStory. Which makes me realize my last plane trip was over three years ago. (Yeah, I'm not much of a traveler I fear.)
Which of course means I have absolutely no experience with dealing with all the new rules and regulations now in place at airports.
First question: My flight from SD leaves at 6:30 am. When should I try to get to the airport. I've heard everything from 1 to 3 hours before the flight. (As early as 3am, ugh. I hope I can get a shuttle to pick me up and take me to the airport then).
Second question: My carry-on luggage is my laptop bag, along with power adapters, DVD's and headphones, assorted cables and connection cords for my cell phone and PDA, etc. Obviously my technician tool kit gets removed from the bag before hand. I know that I need to leave my Powerbook or iBook on during inspection so they can see it's a real laptop. What else should I be aware of??
Third question: What other advice can one give me for traveling currently?
