5. Customize your trip by researching the locale on the Web beforehand. The airline Web site (see below) offers suggestions for further accommodations.

6. Browse ticket prices on the airline Web site before you book. Group rates, round trip and one-way are clearly provided there.

7. Manage your baggage weight. You are allowed up to 70 pounds of checked baggage; anything exceeding that will be subject to fees. Carry cash with you if you think you might exceed that weight limit. Carry-on luggage weight is generous; Lynx Air International allows 10 pounds per passenger.

Tips & Warnings

• Reconfirm your flight reservations 72 hours in advance by calling during U.S. business hours to (888) LYNX-AIR. Reservations that are not reconfirmed by phone may be cancelled. Don't forget!
• Lateness is cause for dismissal. The airline requires two hours to check-in for international flights; anything less than an hour and you may not be allowed to board.

on 6/11/2009 Do NOT rely on Lynx Air keeping anything near its posted flight schedules. They regularly (more often than not) cancel flights, postpone them for a day, or reroute your "non-stop" flight to numerous other destinations before your ticketed destination. They often claim they will reimburse you for extra expenses, but will always fail to do so. They will also regularly subcontract flights out to some other carrier with questionable aircraft. Do NOT fly Lynx if you have a schedule to meet.
