SAFE TRAVEL TIPS

     Our SAFE TRAVEL TIPS come from Detective Kevin Coffee. My first question: Who he? He's a fellow who conducts seminars on travel safety, that's who, and his website has a wealth of free information, for both U.S. and international travel. Tips range from questions you can ask your pilot to the best places to hide your valuables while you're out of town:

AIRLINE COMPLAINTS

     Which airline gets fewest complaints? Find out from the U.S. AVIATION CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION. I had no idea it existed, and probably you didn't either, but here's its information-packed website:

     Note that it too has travel tips, such as "Travel With Animals" and "Passengers With Disabilities."

SEAT GURU

     SEAT GURU tells you which airplane seats are safest, have more legroom, are nearest the rest room, and more. The site has seating information for dozens of airlines.
