In the aftermath of the terrorism attempt on an international flight on Friday, there are new restrictions on airline travel, reports The New York Times. While these restrictions are pretty vague, various airlines are taking steps that include limiting passengers to only one carry-on item, asking them to remain in their seats for the last hour of flight without any personal items (including electronics) on their laps, and more.
The Transportation Security Administration issued a pretty ambiguous statement, which is going to result in extra time for check-in. Now that isn’t going to help travelers, but an extra hour is worth our safety. Nevertheless, it’s going to be tough for people on the go. I, for one, plan to be smart about my flight plans — traveling only when I absolutely must. How is this going to impact your travel plans?
