sWhen Frank Yan gets right down to it, what he’s really about traveling is getting you safely and conveniently from point A to point B at Airports and making sure you enjoy the ride. Frank knows that sometimes travel in the post 9/11 world can be a bit of a hassle. Frank has worked in the Aviation industry for several years while working at the Sacramento International Airport. Being basically helpful folks, with ”Sir. Frank Yan’s” roots in his British hospitality, he wanted to create a section here on frankyansacramento.com called Frank Yan’s Airport Travel Tips.



Airport Tips, which includes some things you may not have thought of that will help get through the airport as painlessly as possible. We all know that airports can be a hassle these days but a little planning and preparation can make a big difference. Try these tips to help you breeze right through.


BEFORE YOUR TRIP
Check your itineraries for seat assignments and make any ticket changes you need. Take care of any special needs you might have before you get to the airport. Know your passport and visa requirements well before you arrive at the airport. These airport maps will help you find your gate, the ticket counter and ground transportation of every major airport we fly to. Avoid lines at the airport with online check-in kiosk. Know the check-in requirements for your airport.


DURING YOUR TRIP
Check the display screens and monitors in the airport to find your gate. Arrive at the gate early with your boarding pass and eticket information. Keep an eye on the gate display screens that we have in most airports. Listen closely for announcements at the gate. It might impact your travel plans.


Baggage Tips to try to demystify how, what, and how much to pack. You don’t have to be a grizzled road warrior to pack and travel like one. Here, Frank has compiled tips to follow that help make sure your you and your baggage arrive at your destination safely, intact and hassle-free. Make sure your name as well as the phone number of your destination is visible on the outside and inside of all your baggage. Checked baggage must weigh less than 50 lbs and its combined length, width, and height must measure 62 inches or less. You may carry on one bag and one personal item (briefcase, diaper bag, personal computer, or similarly sized item) aboard the aircraft. Children’s strollers and seat restraints are never considered standard baggage and are checked for free at curbside, the ticket counter or at the gate. If you do check in luggage and using curbside service with the Skycap’s, make sure you “tip” them. Usual tip is a dollar to 2 dollars per bag.



Check Flight Status. Travel light when you can. Try bringing one carry-on bag that will fit underneath the seat in front of you. Carry valuables, medication, and travel documents in your carry-on luggage. Depending on what Airline, Airline Club Members, Economy Class may check up to two bags free of charge for all passengers within their itinerary.



Frank Yan’s experience working at the Sacramento International Airport, as well as his travels throughout the world has given him the ability to study how an airport operates and to discover the fastest ways to get in and out of the airport.
