I keep seeing references to airport/airline/flight annoyances, and it sounds like a lot has changed since I was last on a plane.
1. I expected to have to be at the airport 2 hrs early, but my travel agent said 1 hr was sufficient (talking SeaTac here.) Does that sound right? Last time it took FOREVER to get to the gate with all the security checking; but then again, that was less than a year after 9/11...
2. We'll be towing 2 strollers - Do they still allow you to leave them at the gate? (And pick them up at the destination airport's gate?) We tagged it last time, but didn't have a bag; should they be bagged somehow?
3. Do the airlines not serve ANYTHING on the flight anymore??? I would be bringing snacks for the kids anyway, but I think our flight is over the lunch hour, so maybe I should bring more than that...? I think we're flying with Alaska Air.
4. Any other major changes I should be aware of?
