Greetings Everyone from the sky (JFK-LAX).  It was a tough week for the airline industry, two crashes and the Alaska Air really hit home when it crashed off of LAX.  My prayer's go out to everyone's family.

TIP OF THE WEEK   by Chris McGinnis:
If your flight is delayed and you're traveling with children, find a quiet section of the airport where you can spread out. Bring plenty of snack foods, books and toys to keep your children occupied until you can get on your way.

From Chris McGinnis's Monthly Newsletter for Atlanta Based Travelers
As part of the new "customer service commitments" enacted by the airlines last month, almost all increased the maximum amount they will pay, from $1250 to $2500, if they destroy or lose your bag on a domestic flight. Downside: The amount airlines pay for bags lost or destroyed on international flights remains a paltry $9.07 per pound, an amount enforced by the archaic Warsaw Convention rules printed on your ticket.
