How to save on airline bags - 0 views

  • 'In some ways, we're stuck between a rock and hard place, between the airline and airport security,'' said Reed Martin, a graduate student at MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, Mass., who prefers not to check bags. ''Airlines are charging more for checked luggage while security is vastly limiting our ability to bring carry-ons.'' Carriers deny a connection between those two developments, saying the increase in bag fees has everything to do with revenues and nothing to do with security. ''Delta's increase in bag fees is a result of continued cost pressures on our business and not related to the heightened security measures put in place by the federal government,'' said Susan Chana Elliott, a Delta spokeswoman. Continental said its checked bag fee increase was a competitive match. JetBlue doesn't charge for the first checked bag, only the second. Southwest does not charge for checked bags and has even built a marketing campaign around its no-fee policy. Travelers have taken note. ''The difference between Southwest and other airlines is striking,'' said George Merkle, a credit counseling executive from San Antonio who flies about once a month and prefers Southwest largely because of its no-fee policy. On a Southwest flight from Baltimore to San Antonio in November, he said, he and his wife were able to store their jackets into the overhead bins because there was so much room. He cited, by contrast, a recent Frontier Airlines flight where many passengers carried on their luggage to avoid the $20 fee to check a bag. ''Boarding seemed to drag on interminably,'' he said. ''People were dragging bags of many sizes on.'' The carry-on crunch has pitted passenger against passenger as the race for space ensues. Like many other fliers, Merkle has arrived at his seat only to find the bin space above it jammed with the bags of passengers who boarded before him and picked out bin space randomly as they headed toward the rear of the plane. To find a spot for his bag, he had to walk several rows back. ''On deplaning, I had to struggle against the flow,'' he said. ''No one had any mercy.'' Some experienced travelers know the system well enough that they have figured out which rows board first, and are booking seats accordingly just to get a spot for their bags. Luis Figarella, who flies monthly from Nashua, N.H., aims for just behind the emergency rows. On American, he said, that usually means you'll be in the group that boards first in coach. It gives you ''a fighting chance'' to find space for your bag, he said. No one has felt the brunt of the checked bag fees more than flight attendants, who are often forced to police the overhead bins for bags too big to fit. ''The boarding process is a disaster these days because it seems people don't want to pay the fees to check their bags,'' said Corey Caldwell, a spokeswoman for the Association of Flight Attendants. This ultimately impacts safety, she said, because flight attendants spend an inordinate amount of time being baggage wranglers. With the recent fee hikes, she said, ''we expect that it will increase the carry-on issue even more.'' All of this is good news for at least one segment of the industry: luggage shippers. The number of bags booked by Luggage Forward, which offers shipping services under a variety of brands including Virtual Bellhop and Luggage Express, jumped 89 percent in the first 12 days of the year compared with the same period in 2009, as travelers ship their bags ahead of them and go without carry-ons.
  •  
    On a recent Delta flight from Westchester County in New York to Columbus, Gregg Hamilton, a retired real-estate agent, was determined not to pay to check his bag. But he didn't want to deal with the usual carry-on kerfuffle either: bolting toward the gate to be among the first to board, racing up and down the aisle to find a spot for his bag and trying to create space in the jammed overhead bins. Instead he, and a handful of others, avoided that mess by taking advantage of an apparent loophole in the system: the gate check. At the end of the jetway, before stepping onto the plane, Hamilton simply inquired whether he could check his bag right there. A luggage handler who was waiting for strollers, car seats and other carry-on overflow was happy to oblige. ''They put a tag on it and we boarded the plane,'' he said. No charge. No stress. ''When we got off, the bag showed up pretty quickly,'' he added. As airlines continue to raise fees for checked luggage, more travelers are coming up with creative ways to dodge them - through meticulous packing of carry-on bags, by stuffing coat pockets with items they'd normally put in a bag, or hanging back and boarding last so they can check their bags at the gate for free.

  •  
    Having then fortunately arrived, by the blessing of the Lord, before the city of New York, on Saturday, the 23d day of September, we stepped ashore about four o'clock in the afternoon, in company with Gerrit, our fellow passenger, who would conduct us in this strange place. He had lived here a long time and had married his wife here, although she and his children were living at present at Zwol.65 We went along with him, but as he met many of his old acquaintances on the way, we were constantly stopped. He first took us to the house of one of his friends, who welcomed him and us, and offered us some of the fruit of the country, very fine peaches and full grown apples, which filled our hearts with thankfulness to God. This fruit was exceedingly fair and good, and pleasant to the taste; much better than that in Holland or elsewhere, though I believe our long fasting and craving of food made it so agreeable. After taking a glass of Madeira, we proceeded on to Gerrit 's father-in-law's, a very old man, half lame, and unable either to walk or stand, who fell upon the neck of his son-in-law, welcoming him with tears of joy. The old woman was also very glad. This good man was born in Vlissingen, and was named Jacob Swart.66 He had been formerly a master carpenter at Amsterdam, but had lived in this country upwards of forty-five years. After we had been here a little while, we left our travelling bag, and went out to take a walk in the fields. It was strange to us to feel such stability under us, although it seemed as if the earth itself moved under our feet as the ship had done for three months past, and our body also still swayed after the manner of the rolling of the sea; but this sensation gradually passed off in the course of a few days. As we walked along we saw in different gardens trees full of apples of various kinds, and so laden with peaches and other fruit that one might doubt whether there were more leaves or fruit on them. I have never seen in Europe, in the be

Buxa Tiger Reserve in Alipurduar district of West Bengal - 0 views

  •  
    Buxa Tiger Reserve lies in Alipurduar district of West Bengal. Its northern boundary runs along the international border with Bhutan. The Sinchula hill range lies all along the northern side of BTR and the eastern boundary touches that of the Assam state. National Highway No.31 C roughly runs along its southern boundary. It is the eastern most extension of extreme bio-diverse North-East India and represents highly endemic Indo-Malayan region. The fragile "Terai Eco-System" constitutes a part of this reserve. The Phipsu Wildlife Sanctuary of Bhutan is contiguous to the north of BTR. Manas National Park lies on east of BTR. BTR, thus, serves as international corridor for Asian elephant migration between India and Bhutan. To the south-west, the Chilapata Forests form an elephant corridor to the Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary. The reserve encompasses as many as eight forest types. The divisional headquarters is located at Alipurduar. The forest is divided into two divisions: East and West. The Himalayan griffon, beautiful nuthatch, four different varieties of hornbill and the red breasted Himalayan partridge are important birds in this reserve. Among the wild animals, clouded leopard, tiger, wild dog, pangolin and Himalayan black bear are rare. Buxa Fort is an important landmark for this reserve. This fort was captured by British-India in 1865 after the Bhutan War from Bhutan. Later this fort was used as a detention camp for Indian freedom fighters during the Indian freedom movement.

Suspend airport body scanner program, privacy groups say - 0 views

  • Based on the discussions at the event, it is evident that body scanners can be easily defeated by concealing explosive materials in body cavities, the letter says. There is also little information on the health risks posed by the use of such scanners, according to the letter. The fact that the systems can be configured at any time to record and store images of travelers also raises privacy questions, the letter says. "The public does not currently understand the inability of these devices to detect the types of explosive materials that could be used or the possible risks to privacy and health," Rotenberg and Nader wrote. "The Department of Homeland Security has made significant mistakes with similar programs in the past," they added, citing as an example the agency's discontinued effort to equip airports with so-called explosive trace portals (ETP), which are designed to detect traces of explosives on travelers' clothing.
  •  
    "The Electronic Privacy Information Center and consumer advocate Ralph Nader are urging President Obama to review the administration's plans to install whole body scanners at U.S. airports. In a joint letter, Marc Rotenberg, the president of EPIC, and Nader asked the president to suspend deployment of the devices until a "comprehensive evaluation" of the effectiveness of the technology and potential health hazards, is completed."

    Jodhpur Marwar Festival brings to the forefront the folk music and dance of the Marwar region. Being an audience to the buoyant and spirited performers of the folk dances can make you go gaga over it. Watching the folk dancers, who accurately balance the earthen pots on their heads and also even dancing to the rhythm of the songs sung by the singers, and also the dancing, while standing on a sword fairly gives the idea about, how the valor rules the land. It is devoted almost exclusively to songs and dance, and the Maand Festival has become a part of this huge regional celebration.
