![]() The California Department of Social Services (CDSS), in partnership with the California Department of Education (CDE), received approval to operate the program in response to COVID-19 related school and child care closures. I’m making three more international trips in December, but I’m inclined not to use either and most certainly not for future airline ticket purchases.Pandemic EBT, or P-EBT, is a federal food program. ![]() And similarly, it was irresponsible of to allow this “apples with oranges” comparison on its website. It was deceptive of to engage in such practices, even if it disclosed these conditions in fine print (for no one would expect, nor have I ever seen previously in the hundreds of flights I have taken as a Million Miler on United), without flagging this. Had we known that the seemingly better price posted by on Kayak’s comparative offerings came at such a high price of inconvenience and additional expense for the luggage, we would have taken our business elsewhere. In addition to the extraordinary inconvenience that we could neither transit at London Heathrow to our connecting flight without going through Customs twice and that we could not check our luggage through to our final destination, we also had to foot a higher baggage charge to allow for checking in our suitcases, now that we had arrived in London Heathrow only to discover this that our onward ticket did not cover one piece of checked luggage. Also astonishingly, we had to pass through Customs, reclaim our checked suitcases from the baggage carousel, and check in again through Customs to board the onward flight, both coming and going through London Heathrow. However, the travel agency did not flag that the ticket from BWI to London Heathrow allowed for one piece of checked luggage, but the ticket from London Heathrow onwards to Geneva did not allow for any checked luggage. I don't think I would voluntarily choose Swiss Air again."Ĭons: "Dear Sir or Madam: My two colleagues and I bought our tickets from BWI to Geneva, via London Heathrow, through Kayak as I have many times in the past. The best part of the dinner they served was the croissant - that should give you an idea. Having longer than average legs, it was pure torture for the duration of the overnight flight. The leg room was the narrowest I have had in all international flights I flew in. But when we boarded the plane, we saw that about a quarter of the carry-on bags in the plane were as big as our small suitcases! We were in row 30+. He made a big deal that they were too big and had to be checked in. I asked the check-in agent if the small ones were needed to be checked in or if they could be taken as carry-ons. We are big are traveling light, so we had 2 small suitcases, small enough that we never have to check them in for the US domestic flights. On top of that, his whole demeanor was condescending, treating us as if we had never flown an airplane before. He had to ask his neighboring agents a dozen questions to check us in (4 passengers, 3 bags and 2 car seats). However, I will tend to avoid Swiss air in the future, to avoid having to research their unique restrictions."Ĭons: "The agent at the check-in had no clue what he was doing. ![]() I take ownership that I should be aware of a tickets restrictions but this was a multi-leg trip (5). Swiss Air seems to have different restrictions than other airlines which I have encountered before. I had a 40 minute connection in Zurich so was very concerned that my luggage would not make it. This was not clear when I booked the ticket nor when I checked in on-line. I can only surmise that my ticket limited me to one bag onto the plane, although they would not tell me this. Right in front of me while I was waiting for a baggage tag, others were being checked in with carry-on equal to mine and allowed to take it onto the plane. I don't have an issue with being asked to check luggage, but I resent being asked when others are allowed to take their carry-on onto to the plane without issue. I have even put it in the smaller compartments on smaller Bombardier jets. I have used this carry-on more than 50x without an issue.
