Be sure to call and reconfirm your ticket 48
hours before your departure, and arrive at the
airport at least two, if not three hours before the
scheduled flight. This will provide youwith time
to double=check that everything is set to go. It
will also save you any hassles, such as losing
your seat in case of overbooking. Also, if you
prefer a vegetarian meal on your flight, don't
forget to request one upon booking and/or when
you reconfirm two days ahead of the departure.
