Title: For those flying to Dallas.....
Post by Racer1_NC on Jun 30^th, 2005, 11:39pm

For those that might not know, if you wish to lock your checked bags, you'll need one of these: http://www.travelsentry.org/.

Any other locks are subject to removal by cutting them off your bag.

Thanks Bill,

I certainly wish Svenn had known about these locks last year when he flew to Nashville, & they totallly thrashed his luggage and he had to go to a store to replace them.

Hope Helen(LeLimey) see's this.

and BTW. There was talk a while back about cig. lighters not being allowed. Anyone know anything about that.?

Lighters are not allowed in carry on OR checked bags. You may have up to 4 books of matches.

Jean is buying a bunch of cheap lighters for those of us that might need them.

There is also a gas station / store on the airport road. (At least there was the last time I flew in to DFW)

Thanks Linda!! I have seen it. I checked www.tsa.gov and it was really useful. One thing it does say on the subject of lighters is

Quote:

Lighters without fuel are not considered hazardous material and therefore are permitted in unlimited quantities in checked baggage.

I don't know if that helps or not but there you go! I'm getting really excited now!
