"Hi! I'm Rob Lowes from Carlson Wagonlit and Lowes Travel on behalf of expertvillage.com. Today we are going to talk about trip advisor. In this clip, I am going to talk about baggage. Recent events around the world have caused bit of an upheaval in the baggage restrictions that you are allowed to carry on airplanes. Most airlines now will have that information posted on their website but the real issue right now is restriction on liquids. Whether this changes or not, it has been relaxed but it may change once again so you need to be up to date on that. A trip advisor will offer you most current information on baggage restrictions. Not only the liquids, the size of your bag can vary from one airline to another on what they allow for weight and dimensions and some airlines won't even take your pet, so consider that. You may not consider your pet baggage, but they do and certain airlines now will not even accept a pet so you have to be careful when you are traveling Plan in advance, let your trip advisor know that you do want to travel with your pet so we can help you select the right carrier to get your beloved pet with you on your destination. There is also as far as baggage goes, there are other options as well. There are companies that will offer to take golf clubs in advance or you can use Fed Ex or things like that but certain airlines have agreements with cargo carriers to get large packages as well. We have even had instances where people want to get musical instruments on board and have to buy a seat for musical instrument so keep that in mind as well. When traveling with your Cello you may need to buy an extra seat. "
