agent or visit Resources and select US
Passports.

6.) Will I need vaccinations or shots?

strongly recommended. Your dedicated Travel Tyme agent will help you through

In
Europe the answer is generally yes. Other destinations are questionable and
some are a definitive NO. This can be a serious issue - no kidding! So please
call your Travel Tyme Agent before you take a sip.
|
10.) What is "Customs" and how does it affect
me?
Customs is a physical location usually within an airport. It is
designed to control the quality and quantity of foreign products entering the
United States. If you travel abroad you will be regulated as to what you can
bring back and how much. Some restrictions are light, while others are more
severe. You must go through customs before boarding your plane/boat. Be
prepared for show and tell. If you would like more information and tips, go to
US Customs on our Resources page, or call Your
Travel Tyme agent. We've been through this many times ourselves and are happy
to help.
|
11.) Can I use my cell phone, PDA, Blackberry,
laptop on the plane?
Yes, the laptop will count as a personal item. (See question #
7). All electronic devices need to be turned off and secured before take off
and landing. For a list of what you may carry on and check, see
US Travel Security located on our Resources page,
or give Travel Tyme a call.
|
12.) Should I lock my luggage and will it be
screened?
More than likely, your luggage will be screened. To ensure
efficient travel, you may want to leave your suitcase unlocked with your shoes
packed on top - especially boots or thick-soled shoes/tennis shoes. If you feel
more comfortable locking your baggage, be sure to use a Universal Lock. This
will speed things along and prevent your lock from being cut off and thrown
away. For more information on the Universal Lock, go to US Travel Security on our Resources page, or contact
your travel Tyme agent. We have all your answers.
