VTeight7 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Has anyone had trouble with US security (in light of the recent Northwest Airlines incident) carrying their suit with them on a plane? Should we be folding our suits and putting them in checked luggage nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicoMaki Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Well, the USTA recently removed their "no carry-on" policy. however, I prefer to wear the suit pants, shirt, and tie on the plane and fold the jacket into the carry-on luggage. I flew when they had the carry-on restriction and i wore the suit onto the plane just incase they lose the checked luggage. Also, be sure to put your toiletries in a plastic bag, nothing over 100 mL. Best of Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky_blue2000 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm wondering...do you guys go the same day as your interview or the day before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith_015 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm wondering...do you guys go the same day as your interview or the day before? Day before. Interview days can definitely start too early for you to be able to fly in anywhere + get from the airport to the school. Also, too risky to fly in on the same day. For both interviews I went to, I had one significant flight problem, and the second I had a lengthy delay at a connection point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky_blue2000 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply I was asking because next year I need to take two courses with labs...so I don't when to schedule the labs to ensure minimal disruption with interviews.

TurkandJD Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 sry for the lack of research, but for those who have interviewed, what were the costs like in general? obviously it would be different for different locations and time and the number of interviews, but some approximations would be nice.

ChicoMaki Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 just plug in some #s into Air Canada.ca and you'll find out. It depends on how early in advance you can book your flight, is there a seat sale, what time are you flying (i.e booking between 4-7 is more expensive than before or after) etc. For me, I've been looking at approx 350/flight and that's because of taxes. I.E I booked a flight to NYC in November for January. it was $99 each way + taxes (which are the real B***H so total was around $320. It all depends. Add on transportation to the place you are staying, and food, and miscellaneous expenses, you could be looking from 300-500+ per interview.

VTeight7 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 thanks for the info, guys. I guess I'll wear my suit jacket on the plane. Does anyone know if they allow razors or electric shavers in carry-on baggage? I know that I could look up the websites myselves, and I have already, but I want to hear from someone who's flown since December 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
