Lost Luggage: Air Travel Tips For Surviving An Emergency
Feb 25th
Knowing what to do if you have lost luggage in transit is one of the most vital travel tips you will ever learn. You can lose luggage anywhere and at any time during a long trip, no matter how you travel.
Tourists lose luggage regularly in taxis, on buses and trains and anywhere in between a trip. Sometimes, luggage is stolen. However, lost luggage is a problem most commonly associated with airline travel.
So what do you do if your bag fails to appear on the airline’s baggage carousel? The first point on your agenda is to report this fact to the airline’s baggage office or window. This is usually where lost luggage reports are recorded and addressed. It is bound to be on the same level as the baggage conveyor.
Once there, you locate the baggage clerk and hand him your baggage stub. Do keep your cool and avoid panicking or blowing up at the poor fellow. Sometimes luggage for one flight arrives on another flight because of logistical problems.
Once you have reported lost luggage at the airline’s baggage claim counter or office, a clerk will attempt to track your bag on the computer. If it turns out that your luggage is not arriving on another flight, another search level kicks in.
The clerk will start making calls at all possible locations where your lost luggage may have wound up. If this yields no results, he will mobilize the baggage handlers to make a search for it.
At this point, input from you will be very useful. You should offer a detailed description of your individual luggage pieces. If you have a picture of your stuff – even one taken of you by a friend that shows your luggage too – give it to the baggage handlers.
After you have done this, do something to divert yourself. The matter is now out of your hands and there is no point in stewing or getting in their way!
Next, you will need to fill out a claim form in which you will need to give some personal information. This will include a description of your lost luggage. Give the baggage clerk contact details of wherever you will be over the next few days. Ensure that you ask for and stash away a photocopy of this form, too!
You will receive assurances to the effect that the airline will try to trace your lost baggage, and that you will receive it if it turns up. Listening to that can be pretty discouraging, because it confirms that your luggage is now officially lost.
There is, of course, an off-chance that the baggage clerk will find that your luggage had arrived on the baggage carousel. If this is the case, your baggage is most probably stolen. This then becomes a case for the police and insurance company.
If your lost luggage is traced, the airline company will definitely intimate you and return it to you. If not, most large airlines will do what they can to replace your lost luggage itself. They might offer to give you luggage pieces that match your lost ones closely (however, do not count on it!).
It is your legal right to receive compensation for the contents of your luggage. There is a limit to your entitlement, of course. It varies according to the airline in question. In any case, find out the airline’s reimbursement policy should you choose to purchase replacements for items lost in your luggage during transit.

Caribbean Air Travel
Feb 18th
The Caribbean islands are a popular tourist destination situated east of Central America. There are a number of important airlines that offer flights to the Caribbean. These include American, Delta, US Airways, United, Northwest and British Airways. Apart from the major flights that help people reach the Caribbean Islands there are numerous small Caribbean airlines that that help tourists travel between islands. Vacationers may choose to make reservations through travel agents, online or directly with an airline service. A number of online air travel sites offer discounts on Caribbean flights and customers may need to bid for them. Certain online sites only cater to a tourist’s reservation if they opt to become members.
People can elect from a wide range of Caribbean air travel. This includes nonstop flight or direct flights that make a stop at least once in the flight duration. Certain airlines may take vacationers to a certain destination where they are expected to take a connecting flight. It is advisable to enquire about various carriers as this helps customers choose accordingly. Travelers may choose to indulge in comparison-shopping. This helps them analyze price points and airline features. In case of discount deals it is advisable to make immediate reservations, as they tend to be limited period special offers. In order to effectively reduce airline rates, vacationers may opt to travel during the off-season, or fly from an alternate airport rather than a primary airport.
Roundtrip Caribbean flights prove to be the most economical and need to be reserved well in advance. Vacationers are allowed to make changes in return dates for an extra fee. When making low-fare reservations, tourists should be aware that they are non refundable. Before venturing to the airport it is advisable to enquire regarding flight delays. When starting out for a Caribbean tour, people need to reach the airport well in advance to comply with security checks.

Good Value – Sunny Holidays in France 2010
Feb 15th
Are you fed up of the British weather, rain all summer and now freezing all winter. Global warming might be melting the North Pole but its not bringing sunshine to the British shoreline. Are you thinking about affordable alternatives, if so, for many people the option of holidays in France for 2010 has to be worth considering. Particularly if you want value for money and a chance of decent sunny weather.
Clearly the further South you go the better the odds you have for that decent weather. You also have a few options for getting there at an affordable price; many budget airlines fly into the airports located in the South of France. Places like Toulouse, Carcassonne, Perpignan, Rodez or Bezieres. Each one either on or within easy travel distance of the Mediterranean coastline.
Alternatively you can drive down, many of the cross channel ferries are very competitively priced and affordable, or of course you have the option of the channel tunnel for a quicker crossing.
Once over the water you can be in Toulouse in as little as 9 to 10 hours later. If that sounds a little long, especially with kids in tow, then what many people do is to take advantage of the option to stop off on route. Hotels in France are very reasonably priced and usually charge on a room basis rather than per person.
Orleons, Tours or even Paris offer great facilities for a stop off and are all interesting places to visit, even Paris is nearly half way, from a time perspective. Of course by driving you save on the cost of a hire car and it gives you the flexibility to have a bit of a tour around on route and to see a few more places of interest. Having a Sat Nav, as most people do these days, can give you the confidence to explore a little and the opportunity to avoid the ‘Peage’ (toll roads). You would be amazed how many dual carriages or very good ‘A’ roads there are heading your direction with hardly any traffic on them.
Once you arrive in the sunny South of France, there are plenty of opportunities to get yourself a reasonable priced self catering cottage or apartment, often with a pool available for exclusive use.
A holiday cottage or apartment in France is called a gite and many of them are owned and run by English or English speaking owners. The standards of these types of gites have changed over the years, select the right ones and they can be very comfortable with fully fitted kitchens, nice comfortable bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms. More of a home from home, than a ‘make do well you are away’ experience.
The benefit of having these facilities on hand means that you can choose to cook and eat in, rather than at the restaurants; only if you prefer that of course. Also you can buy from the local Aldi or Lidl, they have a policy of stocking local produce, including wine and cheeses at very reasonable prices and, for the wine anyway, much cheaper than the UK for comparable quality. So you can manage your budget exactly how you want to.
If you do decide to eat out then taking a leisurely lunch is often a better option than an evening meal. You can choose a set menu, which usually includes a glass of wine, so you know exactly what you are paying for and the lunchtime menus are much cheaper than for an evening meal. I have seen lunchtime menus of this sort for as little as EUR11 per person locally here in Languedoc Roussillon.
So the bottom line is, yes the traveling costs may be more than they are in the UK, but if you plan your holiday around taking advantage of all the good deals available, and the cost of accommodation in France versus the UK. Then you will probably find that you will spend less for holidays in France than you would for holidays in the UK; plus you have an excellent chance of getting some sunshine to go with it.
