Tip Sheet
TRAVEL PROMISES: THEY SOUND GOOD, RIGHT? BUT THERE'S OFTEN A CATCH.
(MONEY Magazine) – Nicer Airplane Bathrooms! • PROMISE Song is adding hardwood-like floors, softer lighting, fancy soaps. Southwest has hydraulic toilet lids that don't slam and Corian counters. • CATCH Song's 48-jet fleet won't be fully upgraded until fall. And just 13% of Southwest's planes--its new 737-700s--have the cool bathrooms. Free Air Fare for Lost Bags!
• PROMISE If Independence Air loses your luggage, you'll get credit for a free flight. • CATCH The credit is just for the leg of the trip on which your bags were lost. Satisfaction Guaranteed!
• PROMISE If something goes wrong with a trip booked via Travelocity (a missed connection leaves you stranded at the airport, say), the online travel agent will try to make it right. • CATCH Usually no refunds, just help solving the problem. --DONNA ROSATO |
