HIGHER FARES, MORE FEES IN STORE FOR AIRLINE PASSENGERS.

Travelers can expect fares and fees to continue to rise, while airline employees will endure more layoffs as the major carriers shrink even more than expected later this year while they grapple with record fuel prices. Several top airline officials, including the chief executives of American and Southwest airlines, painted a dismal picture of the industry's fortunes at an investor conference Wednesday in New York. Several carriers, including Northwest and Delta, announced additional cuts to cope with the worsening conditions. The Air Transport Association estimated that the U.S. airline industry would lose $13 billion this year. Meanwhile, oil prices remained persistently high, topping $136 a barrel Wednesday.

FOR YOUR SAFETY...

Do NOT pull large amounts of cash out of your pocket. This will catch attention, no matter what country you are in. It sounds so silly, but it is amazing how many people pull out a mound of cash to be some small item. We see it all the time in Thailand, and it always amazes us. There have been times when even we were tempted to follow the guy and........ rest assured we didn't !  

Try to think about where you are going that day and carry sufficient cash for that and any unforeseen extras, plus a card. That should cover all you need and will limit any losses if anything did happen.

Do NOT accept drinks from anybody that you have just met, especially if in dubious surroundings or do not know, they could be laced with any type of concoction.

Try not to go on "wonderful trips" or to a "super shopping centre" rides with people who approach you in the street. This could lead anywhere, and will probably cost you a lot more than by taking a normal taxi. Ask your concierge or read through this site.

Check on your first day whether you need to reconfirm your next flight, if so do it then. Some airlines do not require this anymore but it is still worthwhile calling them so that they at least have your contact details, in case the flight is delayed or whatever.
