E-TRAVEL TIPS AND INFORMATION March 2010 Dear Travel Friend Every month, Travel Travel will email you up-to-date travel industry information which should not only be interesting but could affect your future travel arrangements and decisions. KEEP YOUR SHOES ON! The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is looking into removing one of the biggest hassles to travellers in present day airport security: having to remove your shoes at a security checkpoint. Numerous companies offer shoe scanning machines, designed to find metal weapons and explosives hidden in shoes. A few years ago shoe scanners didn't pass TSA tests, but the latest scanner technology promises better results. The TSA says shoe scanners that do the job properly will improve security, help checkpoints run more smoothly and allow officers to focus on other aspects of airline security. The agency is reviewing products offered by shoe scanner suppliers and plans to use the devices by next year. Click here for more information. WHAT ARE A FEW EXTRA INCHES OF LEGROOM WORTH? Continental Airlines has started offering exta legroom...at a price! The amount of legroom, from 7 to 10 inches, can vary by aircraft, seat prices, flight length, aircraft, season and market. Continental says customers want more choices, based on customer feedback, which indicated economy passengers valued extra legroom enough, to pay a little extra for it. Continental says seats with additional legroom are higher-value seats, and they want to offer them to customers who recognize that value. United Airlines, Jetblue and US Airways already charge for extra legroom. Extra legroom on Continental will be up for grabs for economy-class customers, starting March 17, for about $59.00 per seat.

Your third trimester often brings renewed fatigue so now's the perfect time to take one last couples-only trip before your baby's born.  Mid-pregnancy getaways, have become so popular that nearly two out of three mothers-to-be recently polled said they intend to take a "babymoon" trip. The top "babymoon" destination: anywhere you can kick back and relax.  Whatever "babymoon" you decide on, whether you get away for a weekend or a week, go to the beach or a favorite city, make sure you spoil and pamper yourselves. Stay the honeymoon suite, order room service and have breakfast in bed, treat yourselves to dinners out and indulge in couples spa treatments. Just being together and out of your regular routine, is sure to make your "babymoon" a very special break. Schedule more downtime than normal to rest. Avoid sports or activities that carry any risk of falling or trauma. Does a "babymoon" sound like a great idea for you? Contact Travel Travel now and allow us to take care of your "babymoon" arrangements for you. QUESTIONS?
