Q: Are there any baggage limitations for the airlines? 

A: There is no longer a standard set of rules that apply to all airlines' baggage limitations. The airlines are imposing a fee for luggage exceeding their weight limits. For most airlines, this is 50 pounds for checked luggage and 40 pounds for carry-on bags. Please check with your carrier for luggage allowance and restrictions before departing for the airport. Fees will apply to excess checked and/or carry-on bags. The airlines have a per-person limit for carry-on bags of one personal item and one carry-on bag. Personal items are identified as one of the following: a purse, briefcase, small backpack, or laptop computer. Passengers exceeding the carry-on limit may not be allowed through the security checkpoint. 

Q: What is an e-ticket? 

A: It is a confirmation of your airline travel; the airlines are no longer issuing paper tickets. You will still need a government-issued ID to check in and receive your boarding pass from your airline. The name on your ticket MUST be exactly the same as the name on your government-issued ID. 

Q: Can I upgrade using Frequent Flyer miles or coupons?

A: Yes, however, any deviations or upgrade charges with your ticket will be at your own expense. All frequent flyer requests for upgrades need to be personally handled by the respective airlines.

Q: Who may I bring as my guest? 

A: You are allowed to bring one (1) guest to share in your celebration. This guest is defined as your spouse, domestic partner, family member, or friend who is at least 18 years of age. Please note that you are not allowed to invite another employee as your guest unless they are your spouse, domestic partner, or you are engaged to be married. 

Q: May I bring additional guests or children under the age of 21?
