*Double Check*

**Liebling:-)))** · 04-29-2007, 01:52 AM

Some of you know that I booked a flight via Internet last Tuesday and the flight ticket arrived at my home 2 days later after that.

I remember some threads at somewhere about US strict rule about baggage safety... but I can´t find where so I create a new thread here.

I´ve read the US flight rule what I should bring or not but it didn´t written much which different I learn from other threads here that the passengers are not allow to bring comestic case in flight with them but leave it in cargo?

In the past, I often carried comestic case with me for use to wash my face, cream, brush my teeth, etc. only if I am on a plane for long hours example my experience to Sinpagore and Australia. Now America... It will takes 16 hours on a plane to St. Louis, Missouri from Germany. I can´t image to live without comestic case...

I need comestic case badly with me for use toilet things to take care myself.

Is it allow to carry comestic case with me in the plane instead leave it to cargo?

I need *double check* to make sure since I know there´re strict US flight rules.

I went to City Hall to question about visa application last Wednesday. I know that Germans who own German passport do not need to apply for visa to go America under 90 days but I hold a British passport, that´s why I need to find out. They told me that it´s new law since 1st May 2006 that I do not need to apply visa for go to America... *scratch my head* I faxed American Embassy to question them about this yesterday. I´m waiting for their reply. I rather to do *double check* then regret myself and built more stress...

I would be appreicate for your feedback on this.

Here's the link I wasn't aware of the new airline liquid policy....

WildHunt · 04-29-2007, 02:06 AM

TSA | Transportation Security Administration | U.S. Department of Homeland Security

3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3 ounce bottle or less; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3 oz. container size is a security measure. ( TSA | Transportation Security Administration | 3-1-1 on Air Travel )

also:
TSA: Permitted and Prohibited Items

Scroll down the page til you find a list of things that you can or cannot take on board (they will have to go in your luggage).

You cannot bring anything on board with you that is more than 3oz and that it has to follow the restrictions and rules if you're bringing an item on board with you.

Anything more than 3oz can be confiscated (taken away) but I'd recommend that you put your stuff in your luggage for cargo hold.

You're very welcome

***VamPyroX*** · 04-29-2007, 05:57 AM

I suggest you contact the airport for more information.

There is a limit on how big the container can be for carry on.

GalaxyAngel · 04-29-2007, 10:06 AM

Look forward meet you this summer..

Hopefully your everything suitcase will settled fly on airplane while you need some supplies..
rest other supplies goes to cargo.

**Cheri** · 04-29-2007, 02:15 PM

I heard that you purchased your flight ticket.

They banned bringing all liquids, creams and gels from being carried aboard flights, Those items must be put in your checked bags, They told me the same thing.

But, I've seen some passengers have put medications in a plastic bag zipped up, They have to take it out, when standing by the security point. I haven't seen anyone bringing a make-up case by the security point.

Don't worry about your looks girl, DreamDeaf doesn't care, You're still beautiful with or without make-up.

16 hours flight is a long flight, poor buns of yours.

Looking forward meeting you, even through we had our differences on this forum after-all we still remain friends.

British passport holders can visit in the US without a visa for up to 3 months.

Do I need a tourist visa?

Currently, many British citizens traveling on a valid, individual machine readable passport, with a return or onward ticket, and who are staying for less than 90 days, qualify for the Visa Waiver Program. There are conditions, so please review the information concering visa free travel on the American Embassy London Nonimmigrant Visas Services Home Page.

Thank you very much for provide this link here. Yes it written exact same what the man from City Hall told me last Wednesday that it's not necassary for me to apply visa to stay in America under 90 days. I made *double check* with American Embassy in Munich per fax. I'm waiting for their reply.

I read your links carefully and got relieved after read those link because I need crochet and wools badly to do something while I stick my ass on the flight seat for a long 16 hours and also read magazines as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agreed to leave comestic case to cargo with toliets things including toothpaste paste. I thought about use apple instead of toothpaste.

Normally I carry comestic case with me in the flight when there're long hours on the plane to wash my face and cream, toothpaste etc. If short hours then leave comestic case to cargo.

I have read about medication... I have a pill for thyriod... I have to use it in ziplock when I carry it to the flight.

Yes I just read WildHunt's links what I should carry or not to the flight. I really never thought about make-up but facial gel and teethpaste, crochet with wools. I never thought to make pretty for DreamDeaf but worry about teethpaste and deoroller and make sure that DreamDeaf won't get faint when we

That's why apple is the best medicial ...

What I talked about comestic bag is http://www.greatoutdoorsdirect.com/s...s/coscase4.jpg

I only use black liner, macscra and lipstick... That's all.

I decide to carry apple to clean my teeth instead of teethpaste. All toilet things go with comestic case to cargo except facial gel, cream black liner, mascra, lipstick, deoroller, apple, bottle of water, thyriod pill, crochet things and magazines... Perhaps sandwiches.

I have no problem to wear make-up or without make-up but I feel like to take care of myself...

Okay, don't worry - I am prepare to forget it and looking forward to meet you in real life after 3 years online.

Better to double check with Flight Assistant at Nuremburg Airport to show your small things that you will carry with you in the plane, if they are not happy what they see, then put it in your suitcase before it go through cargo. Ok.

Surprise news about no American visa stamp on your passport to remember your holiday, like I had one before. Save money, your lucky.

16 hours?? - my flight from London to Toronto with Air Canada took me 9 hours to get there! Same with Frankfurt to New York is 9 hours too.

Unless are you going to stop-over somewhere or change planes between Germany and USA which can cause time stretch?

It would be lovely reunion if your Aunt and a school friend from LA will see you in USA after the wedding? Wish you a Bon Voyage!!

Yeah, I'm surprised too. That's time I applied VISA via Travel Agency for go to Australia in 2000 but at present time, no more...

I'm still waiting for American Embassy's reply.

Accord Internet/Flight ticket = total 16 hours including time stretch yes! (difference time between Germany & America). I have to catch 3 different planes to arrive St. Louis, Missouri.

I will leave Nuermberg Airport at 7.35 am for Frankfurt at 8.25 am and wait until 11.10 am then leave for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and arrive there by 1.55 pm, then leave again by 4.00 pm for Lambert St. Louis, Missouri and arrive there by 5.29 pm.

For go back Germany on 9th July, I will leave Cleveland Hopkin by 6.00 pm (accord US flight rule, I must be there 2 hours before 6.00 pm) and arrive Philadelphia by 7.24 pm, then leave by 8.15 pm for Frankfurt and arrive there by 10.20 am (one day later on 10th July) and leave again by 2.20 pm to arrive Nuermberg by 3.05 pm on 10th July.

I'm afraid no, my school friend lives in LA which a long way from Cleveland and St. Louis. My Aunt lives in Tampa, Florida which is a long way as well. I told her via msn chat about this. She find sad because of long distance between her area and DreamDeaf and twinies's area. She asked me for VP but I told her that I don't think I have time to use Dreamdeaf's or twinies's computer since I want to learn to know online friends, their culture etc in real life than sit on front of the computer. She understood and agree. I know I alway say that I will get webcam but I never get it... I really don't know why... Oh well...

Why not leave all your "war paint" at home and when you get to St. Louie, have DD take you to get replacements? Lol!

**Reba** · 06-30-2007, 08:59 AM

I think she already left. I hope Liebling has a safe, comfortable flight.

Let's also hope that the airline security people didn't notice her crochet hook in her bag.

U.S. boosting security at airports: White House
Sat Jun 30, 2007 1:36PM EDT

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (Reuters) - U.S. airports will see an increased presence of local police and federal security officials amid heightened vigilance following an explosion in Glasgow and a bomb alert in London, the White House said on Saturday.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said there was no indication of any specific U.S. threat, and the federal government's color-coded rating of the threat of a terrorist attack was not being increased.

However, Snow said there will be an added presence of security officials for the sake of vigilance and travelers can expect some delays.

oh whew i am glad she is safe yay
thanks peachlady

**Liebling:-)))** · 07-11-2007, 05:02 AM

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone for wish me good luck and your concern.

It's not very easy with the staff from US Airway in Frankfurt... Before that, I made double check via Fax with American Embassy in Munich. They faxed me with list what I can do or not etc. I brought their fax with me for case if I might get the problem from US Airway.

Unfortunlately I got the problem from them thru their a lot of questions. All what I do is answer their questions and then look from my head to feet after check my passport... and put red stamp "it's something do with warning signal" on back of my passport. If there're green stamp then is okay..., not red stamp... I was like what... Do I look like terrorist or what, I wonder to myself...

A staff told me to not worry about red stamp and accompanied me to waiting room to get plane to arrive Philadephia. I arrived Philadelphia, Pennsylvania safety. I got the problem from the security staff again because of "red stamp" on back of my passport and then asked me for visa. I was like Huh? and explain him accord American Embassy that I need to fill out the visa paper here in Airport. He gave me the visa form to fill out and realized that they need DreamDeaf's home address where I should stay with. I don't have her address and phone number with me... I told him that I didn't know that DreamDeaf's address is necassary to be fill out on the visa form. He sent me to Security Office to straight out... He explained in unfriendly way that I have to return to Germany unless I give them DreamDeaf's address. I ignored his unfriendly remark and explained them calmly that nobody in American Embassy told me to bring the address where I should stay in and show them their fax... He were like

after read their fax and told me to wait moment then they need to check with their supersivor first with the fax of American Embassy. The supersivor (lady) came to me and questioned me... Is it my first time in USA and what's reason I'm in USA for....etc... I repeat to answer her question that I will be bridesmaid at Angel & Roadrunner's wedding. She need their invitation card... I don't have their invitation card with me either...

She is a friendly lady, not as man who tried to upset me for sent me back to Germany. She said that they need Angel & Roadrunner's full name and which church and state ... date and time...etc.. I gave them what they need except street... They are satisfied with my detail of Angel & Roadrunner and let me go.... *phew* She accompanied me to other plane to arrive St. Louis. I thanked her for "save my life" and straight out then let me go.

Unfortunlately one hour delay due plane's wing defect. We got another plane to arrive St. Louis. I arrived St. Louis and was about pick my case up but my case is not there... I went to US Airway informtion center with the passengars. They need DreamDeaf's address... *sigh*... I told them that I need to go out of way to meet her to get her address... Suddenly one passengar who can do with ASL, came to me for the help. I told her that I know a little of ASL... All what I do is watch her lipread... No problem... I suggest her that I can bring DreamDeaf with me in US Airway office to fill out her address to get my case... A lady said that HERE IS WAY OUT then I can meet DreamDeaf here somewhere... I was like

because I thought I would find "WAY OUT" to meet DreamDeaf and MizzDeaf there after pick up case...which is easier... It took us long ages to look them everywhere until we found them at last!!!!!! *phew* We

each other and then went back to US Airway office to fill out her home address for pick my case... We thanked a lady for help me to look for them...

After dinner, we just arrived DreamDeaf's and MizzDeaf's house - their 5 big cats (large size than Yorkshire terror) are on their way to greet us... and then VP with Peachy Lady and then email to let my hubby know that I arrived USA safety.

I was not realized that it's very complication to deal with US Airway like this. *phew*

For go back to Germany - I got Angel & Roadrunner's home address and phone number for case if they need their address before let me go back to Germany.

Unfortunlately my case is over limit - very heavy...

I brought things from USA to add in my case... I have to pay extra for over limit. Oh Well... A lady explained that it would be no problem if I have 2 cases instead of 1 case. I thanked her and will remember next time. She allowed Angel & Roadrunner to accompany me in Security gate...

.... Surprised, the Security Officer removed 2 small bottle of water from my handbag...

(I have no problem with Security officer for brought bottle of water as I was on the way to Philadelphia... I can understand that Cleveland and Philadelphia Airport are not the same. I'm happy to have Angel & Roadrunner as company... We chatted until a lady accompanied me in the plane... It's very very very hard to say goodbye to Angel & Roadrunner. We

each other... It's hurt...

I arrived Germany with no complication from US Airway... Just 2 hours delay in Philadelphia Airport for take me back to Frankfurt then Nuermberg. My hubby greeted me from Airport and said that I lost some weight... I was like Huh? because I ate real A LOT when I was in USA... I expect that my weight should be gain few pounds... On next day (this morning) I check with my weight... It says that I lose 3 pounds...

*scratch my head*

I missed ADers terrible... It's really fun to have them around... I will make further posts in other threads what I thought about them and whom I met etc. and then create a new thread later.

**Liebling:-)))** · 07-11-2007, 05:03 AM

I wasn't realized that I made a long post...

I hope you won't feel sleeply when you read my post... Occchhh

Sunshine1 · 07-11-2007, 05:31 AM

Liebling:-))) Sussi 7.7.86 - 18.6.09 Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Germany Posts: 31,032	I'M BACK!!!!!!!!! Thank you everyone for wish me good luck and your concern. It's not very easy with the staff from US Airway in Frankfurt... Before that, I made double check via Fax with American Embassy in Munich. They faxed me with list what I can do or not etc. I brought their fax with me for case if I might get the problem from US Airway. Unfortunlately I got the problem from them thru their a lot of questions. All what I do is answer their questions and then look from my head to feet after check my passport... and put red stamp "it's something do with warning signal" on back of my passport. If there're green stamp then is okay..., not red stamp... I was like what... Do I look like terrorist or what, I wonder to myself... A staff told me to not worry about red stamp and accompanied me to waiting room to get plane to arrive Philadephia. I arrived Philadelphia, Pennsylvania safety. I got the problem from the security staff again because of "red stamp" on back of my passport and then asked me for visa. I was like Huh? and explain him accord American Embassy that I need to fill out the visa paper here in Airport. He gave me the visa form to fill out and realized that they need DreamDeaf's home address where I should stay with. I don't have her address and phone number with me... I told him that I didn't know that DreamDeaf's address is necassary to be fill out on the visa form. He sent me to Security Office to straight out... He explained in unfriendly way that I have to return to Germany unless I give them DreamDeaf's address. I ignored his unfriendly remark and explained them calmly that nobody in American Embassy told me to bring the address where I should stay in and show them their fax... He were like after read their fax and told me to wait moment then they need to check with their supersivor first with the fax of American Embassy. The supersivor (lady) came to me and questioned me... Is it my first time in USA and what's reason I'm in USA for....etc... I repeat to answer her question that I will be bridesmaid at Angel & Roadrunner's wedding. She need their invitation card... I don't have their invitation card with me either... She is a friendly lady, not as man who tried to upset me for sent me back to Germany. She said that they need Angel & Roadrunner's full name and which church and state ... date and time...etc.. I gave them what they need except street... They are satisfied with my detail of Angel & Roadrunner and let me go.... phew She accompanied me to other plane to arrive St. Louis. I thanked her for "save my life" and straight out then let me go. Unfortunlately one hour delay due plane's wing defect. We got another plane to arrive St. Louis. I arrived St. Louis and was about pick my case up but my case is not there... I went to US Airway informtion center with the passengars. They need DreamDeaf's address... sigh... I told them that I need to go out of way to meet her to get her address... Suddenly one passengar who can do with ASL, came to me for the help. I told her that I know a little of ASL... All what I do is watch her lipread... No problem... I suggest her that I can bring DreamDeaf with me in US Airway office to fill out her address to get my case... A lady said that HERE IS WAY OUT then I can meet DreamDeaf here somewhere... I was like because I thought I would find "WAY OUT" to meet DreamDeaf and MizzDeaf there after pick up case...which is easier... It took us long ages to look them everywhere until we found them at last!!!!!! phew We each other and then went back to US Airway office to fill out her home address for pick my case... We thanked a lady for help me to look for them... After dinner, we just arrived DreamDeaf's and MizzDeaf's house - their 5 big cats (large size than Yorkshire terror) are on their way to greet us... and then VP with Peachy Lady and then email to let my hubby know that I arrived USA safety. I was not realized that it's very complication to deal with US Airway like this. phew For go back to Germany - I got Angel & Roadrunner's home address and phone number for case if they need their address before let me go back to Germany. Unfortunlately my case is over limit - very heavy... I brought things from USA to add in my case... I have to pay extra for over limit. Oh Well... A lady explained that it would be no problem if I have 2 cases instead of 1 case. I thanked her and will remember next time. She allowed Angel & Roadrunner to accompany me in Security gate... .... Surprised, the Security Officer removed 2 small bottle of water from my handbag... (I have no problem with Security officer for brought bottle of water as I was on the way to Philadelphia... I can understand that Cleveland and Philadelphia Airport are not the same. I'm happy to have Angel & Roadrunner as company... We chatted until a lady accompanied me in the plane... It's very very very hard to say goodbye to Angel & Roadrunner. We each other... It's hurt... I arrived Germany with no complication from US Airway... Just 2 hours delay in Philadelphia Airport for take me back to Frankfurt then Nuermberg. My hubby greeted me from Airport and said that I lost some weight... I was like Huh? because I ate real A LOT when I was in USA... I expect that my weight should be gain few pounds... On next day (this morning) I check with my weight... It says that I lose 3 pounds... scratch my head I missed ADers terrible... It's really fun to have them around... I will make further posts in other threads what I thought about them and whom I met etc. and then create a new thread later. __________________
