Travel Times

A weekly collection of tips and ideas for the leisure traveler

Preparation and Patience is the Key

Take Time To Travel and Tour’s agents routinely counsel and advise our customers on matters of safety while traveling, whether domestically or internationally. We provide them with the facts, as we know them, so that travelers may make informed decisions. With access to the latest State Department Travel Warnings and Public Announcements, as well as up-to-the-minute information from our travel partners, we can help our customers navigate the changing travel landscape, should additional travel warnings or restrictions take place.

Travelers should:

- Expect longer wait times at airports and airport screening stations
- The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is currently recommending domestic travelers arrive two hours prior to departure, while those flying to international destinations are encouraged to arrive three hours prior to departure.
- Call ahead to see if their flight has been delayed or cancelled
- For an up to the minute list of items allowed in carry-on luggage see http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/new-items.shtm
- Remember, our website www.travelandtour.com has links for airport security and additional travel information

For those customers traveling abroad who have provided contact information during their travels, we will be contacting them to make sure they are aware of the new restrictions and provide any assistance needed.

Travel is many times a necessary part of daily life. We are here for our customers as a resource, so they can carry on with their normal daily activities.

The United States currently has the safest air transportation system in the world. Consumers should keep that fact in mind.
