Scottsdale Car Service Suggests You Read This Before Your Next Flight!

Air travel is so common these days, and most everyone frequents airports at least once, some more than once. It seems with each visit you become more versed on the operations of airline travel, and you may have even created a pattern you fallow by now. I think everyone would be surprised to learn there is some very helpful hints you hadn't heard of that you could use for your next flight! Keep these helpful hints in mind the next time you fly! Also don't forget Scottsdale Car Service has VERY fair rates for Air Port transfers! Call on SCS to pick you up 480.502.2221

Helpful Hint #1
Have you heard of becoming a TSA's Global Entry memeber? The next time you are in the endless security line check for the empty row reserved for 'PreCheckers' this is a TSA beneifit. Now you remember seeing it, but how is it worth forking over a hundred dollars for? PreCheckers skip the process of flight staff rifling through your belongings, and awkwardly taking items of clothing off your body that you'd much rather keep on. Another added bonus for those who make international trips, there is no line at customs upon returning!
I am sold!



Helpful Hint #2
Be a loyal customer to one airline alliance. Some frequent flier programs have added benefits you probably had no idea existed, for example loyal members of a select airline experience better seats, first to board, no luggage check-in fees, and better service. A very intriguing side note if you happen to become elite with a particular airline you could have access to some extreme perks, like a Ferrari ride between Delta terminals in Atlanta, and private VIP security and lounges on British Air in London.



Helpful Hint #3
Fly during off peak hours, typically early mornings, late nights, Saturdays, and Wednesday flights are less costly and less congested overall! If the only reason you wouldn't prefer the earlier or later flight is due to the discomfort of waking up extremely remember you can sleep on the plane!


Helpful Hint #4
Do you rely on your phone heavily and continually run into the inconvenience of  losing cell service, or your cell battery dies at the airport? This happens to everyone,  know that the reason for this is due to the massive number of travelers using their devices at the same time, which in return slows down all cell service in general and drains battery life. Don't rely on the off chance there may be an outlet available at the terminal, come prepared and invest in a rechargeable case or external battery pack for your phone.


Helpful Hint #5
Do you recall anytime you flown you were delayed, and it was not your fault? Well, here is an interesting fact your airline owed you more than just a later seat, according to the DOT if you were in limbo for more than 2 hours domestic or 4 hours international your airline owes you cash! They will reimburse you 4 times the cost of a one-way ticket, you just have to ask!
