When Qualified, PreCheck Speeds Fliers Thru Security |
 |
 |
 |
|
With year-end super-busy holiday air traffic and jammed check-in lines, senior flyers should consider this new go-to-the-head-of-the-line gimmick. Called the TSA PreCheck system, and costing $100, it now permits some pre-security approved airline passengers to get to their aircraft more quickly.
After their status is confirmed, the privileged few are allowed to keep shoes, belt and coats on. They may also carry laptop computers and eligible personal liquids and gels in carry-ons. The only negative could be enduring the dirty looks and curses of the poor peasants who must wait in the long security lines as the special boarders sail past them.
If eligible passengers have kids under 12 with them, all can go through PreCheck. To keep up with the constantly changing status of PreCheck, when booking new flights, always review requirements with your favorite hometown or online travel agency. It may also be expedient to call the airline directly at least 24 hours before your departure to make sure your lofty status is on record.

Q&A: Breaking Up Is Hard To Do...So Travel And Help! |
|
|
|
Q: I’m a recent military retiree, and regretfully, my long-term relationship just ended. I thought retirement would liberate me to do whatever I want, but instead I just feel lost. I need something and someone meaningful in my new life.
I’ve been all over the world in my 30-plus service years, so commercial travel isn’t a big deal. I’d like to go places now, but in a more useful way. What do you suggest? PJM, Chino CA

Q&A: We Recommend Cruise To Help New Widow Recover |
|
|
|
Q: I was widowed last year, and after many months trying to get over my loss, I believe I now need to get back to a normal life. Friends and family all urge me to travel, and many claim a cruise is the best way to start living again. Suggestions? Leona F, Chicago IL
A: Maybe best if you ease into it with a short cruise of 3 to 7 days. Try first by going on a theme cruise as part of a group with similar interests, such as same age, religion, vocation, specific entertainment, etc. While on this initial cruise, take your time in mingling, by choosing when and where to be alone and when to be with the group.
