With smaller, regional carriers making up half the air traffic at some of the country’s biggest airports, how you previously prepared for a flight may no longer apply. Below, the new rules.
1. Bring food
Regional flights can be as long as four hours, and food isn’t sold on most of them.
2. Leave nothing to chance
To avoid surprises, always find out what type of plane you’ll be flying before you buy your ticket. An airline reservations agent or travel agent can tell you what aircraft you’ll be on, but it’s not always easily apparent when booking on the Web. Most online travel sites list the aircraft type after you’ve selected a flight but before you’ve entered your payment information. If you can’t find the type of plane or aren’t familiar with the model, call the airline directly.
