Always include your flight number and name inside each checked bag in case the bag tag falls off. You can write the information on a piece of paper and slip it into a luggage pocket or use the American baggage tags at the airport. ~Maribel Sotelo, Customer Service Manager, Chicago

- For the Kids
An inexpensive disposable camera can keep kids occupied on a flight and during the trip. If you're able to develop the film on your trip, bring along a small photo album for them to organize the photos on the flight home. ~Holly Salatino, Flight Attendant, Chicago
