Important Travel Reminders
Please bring:
- Photo ID to board the airplane.
- Traveler's checks and credit cards, rather than a large amount of cash. Note traveler's check numbers in a place separate from the actual checks.
- A spare pair of glasses or contact lenses, or a copy of your prescription.
- Prescription medications. Be sure to bring enough to last your entire trip, or prescription re-fill orders. Keep prescription medicine in hand-carried items in the event you experience a delay in getting your checked bags.
- Readily accessible medical information, including your doctor's name and contact information, as well as any necessary insurance cards.
Remember:
- Due to new security rules, your checked luggage cannot be locked. However, it is good practice to lock any luggage once checked into the hotel. Keep the luggage keys with you at all times.
