Surprising Secrets About Flying That Will Change The Way You Fly

No Voucher, Cash Please

Next time you are offered a voucher, go for the money instead. A voucher is the airline’s way of not giving you actual cash. If for whatever reason you are booted from your flight, the US Department of Transportation (DOT) has compensation rules that can guarantee you up to $1,300 in cash if the airline does not rearrange plans within two hours of your flight. Another thing to note is that is they are obligated to inform the traveler that he or she can get a check on the spot.

Don’t Forget Your Headphones

Next time you travel, be sure to bring your own headphones. Airline issued headphones are sometimes free, and sometimes not. And lets be honest, you’re never going to reuse those flimsy things. Depending on the length of your flight, there’s more than likely in-flight entertainment that you’ll want to view. You wouldn’t want to have to pay for headphones to enjoy the movie.
