Customer Reviews

Received this bag on time and it works perfectly for my Bugaboo butterfly. I am able to add in a few more things (bumper bar, mug holder, little stroller pouch) in the bag which has been very convenient. We had to check our stroller as the overhead was a smaller one and our stroller came back without any dings or damage. Definitely recommend this bag if you plan on traveling with your child.

We just used this for our butterfly on a recent trip. I didn’t want our stroller to get gross if we were forced to gate check it. The stroller slides in easily, and there was room for the bugaboo stroller bag that usually attaches to our handle to fit in the bag with it so I felt like I got away with an extra personal item! I wish it rolled up a bit smaller when not in use, or had a shoulder strap when the stroller was in it (I already wear a travel car seat as a back pack so it was kind of annoying to carry the stroller by a tiny strap through the airplane aisle).

This travel backpack saved us at the airport. I just took our stroller on our trip to Cancun, the flight was packed so we had to check in our stroller at the gate. This bag made it easy and kept our stroller safe from all the bumps and dings of travel. I would definitely recommend getting this bag just incase this happens to you on your next flight.

This is perfect to store our stroller in when putting it in an overhead bin or checking it at the gate! It is constructed nicely and is made out of great fabric. I definitely needed this to protect the stroller a bit more and for peace of mind!

This bag is everything I was looking for to travel solo with my 1 and 2 year old. It fits the bugaboo butterfly as well as a bumper bar and comfort board. The bag measurements are also within the carry on guidelines at 21.65” x 17.72” x 9.44” for airport travel. Could not be more please with this transport bag.

Why You Should Always Put Your Luggage in the Hotel Bathtub

Going on vacation? Give your luggage a little tub time.

Klaus Vedfelt/Getty Images

In 2023, we experienced a full-blown bed bug epidemic in hotels around the world, though no city seemed to be hit harder than Paris . And while the crisis seems to have subsided, we've learned our lesson . And that's why we can tell you that when you check into a hotel room, do not — under any circumstances — put your luggage on your bed. Instead, put it where you least expect: inside the bathtub.

Sure, tossing your bag in the bathtub might sound like the oddest thing you can do when stepping inside a hotel room. However, by doing this, your luggage stays clear of any fabric surfaces (including carpets, bedding, decor, and drapes) that may harbor tiny fugitive bed bugs hopping in your suitcase to hitch a ride to their next destination. 

"Travel can be anxiety-inducing as it is — delayed flights, lost luggage — so I try to make sure I do everything I can to avoid adding bed bugs to the mix," Lydia Mansel, a travel writer and the founder of Just Packed , shares. "Whenever I check into a hotel, I immediately put my luggage either in the bathroom, the entryway, or any space away from the bed and not on the carpet. This way, my belongings are far enough away from any furniture where bed bugs usually reside — and I significantly lower my chances of bringing them home." Mansel adds one more important step: "I also like to leave housekeeping a note on top of the suitcase, letting them know to leave my bag there. I've occasionally had my bags moved and placed on luggage racks — which can also be home to bed bugs — so the note ensures my luggage stays where I left it."

There are plenty of other ways to protect against a bed bug infestation in your luggage, too. As the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene explains, travelers should choose a hard-sided suitcase whenever possible as "it is more difficult for bed bugs to attach to rigid materials than to fabric." The department also suggests packing in resealable plastic bags and bringing a small flashlight to help you inspect your room upon arriving. 

According to the department, once you're in your room, you should also take some time to look at the tiny crevices around the space to see if you spot any critters,

"Examine beds and box springs by pulling up the sheets at the corners and sides. Check mattress tufts and seams for bed bugs and their markings," it stated. "Do a quick check of pillows and upholstered furniture for signs of bed bugs. If you can, check behind headboards and open the drawers of the nightstands and look inside." If you only plan to stay a night or two, the department also recommends keeping your clothes in your luggage and forgoing unpacking altogether. It notes the bathroom as a great place for storage, too. 

"Place your luggage on a hard elevated surface — not on the floor, and not on upholstered furniture," it stated. "If you can't find a suitable surface, put your luggage in a dry bathtub, or leave it in your car until you've done a quick inspection."

And if you're really feeling up to it, you can do as Daniel Clarke, travel expert and director of Parklink , does and clean your storage areas before unpacking. "Having been 'stung' in the past by having ants enter my backpack on one trip and bed bugs while on a different vacation, I have now learned I need to either clean the hard storage surface first — I carry antibacterial wipes for this — or if I have a bathtub in the room, then that is the better option to keep my luggage. The bath can easily be washed down first and is likely to be one of the cleanest surfaces in the room due to its frequency of cleaning," Clarke says. "The bathtub not only proves itself to be an efficient use of space if you have a small room, but I have found no unwanted bugs or insects have stowed away in my bags since storing my luggage there."

The Carry-On-Baggage Bubble Is About to Pop

A man grunts and sighs in the crowded aisle next to you. His backpack swats your shoulder. “If an overhead bin is shut, that means it is full,” a flight attendant announces over the intercom. A passenger in yoga pants backtracks through the throng with a carry-on the size of a steamer trunk—“Sorry, sorry,” she mutters; the bag will need to be checked to her final destination. Travelers squish aside to make way for her, pressing against one another inappropriately in the process. Nobody is happy.

Among the many things to hate about air travel, the processing of cabin luggage is ascendant. Planes are packed, and everyone seems to have more and bigger stuff than the aircraft can accommodate. The rabble holding cheap tickets who board last are most affected, but even jet-setters with elite status seem to worry about bag space; they hover in front of gates hoping to board as soon as possible—“ gate lice ,” they’re sometimes called. Travelers are rightly infuriated by the situation: a crisis of carry-ons that someone must be responsible for, and for which someone must pay.

I’m a traveler who believes that someone must pay, and on a recent flight to Fort Lauderdale, I came across a suspect. The idea popped into my brain, and then got stuck. My theory was a simple one. We know that airlines overbook their seats, then count on no-shows and rebookings to make the system work. This helps ensure that each flight will be as full as possible, but it also leads to situations where passengers must be paid to take a different flight. What if the airlines are doing the same thing with overhead bins and “allowing” more carry-on luggage than a plane can even hold? What if they’re overbooking those compartments in the hopes or expectation that some passengers won’t bother with a Rollaboard and will simply check their bags instead?

If that’s the case, then the aisle pandemonium can’t be chalked up to passengers’ misbehavior or to honest confusion at the gate. No, it would mean that all this hassle is a natural outcome of the airlines’ cabin-stowage arbitrage. It would indicate inconvenience by design .

As I tried to settle in my seat, ducking under other people’s arms, a sense of outrage began to tingle in my fingers and my toes. When I looked around the cabin, I now saw a scene of mass betrayal. No matter how hard we try, I thought, we’ll never squeeze our bags into these bins. Gate checks are inevitable. The fix is in.

Could overbooking luggage be the root of the carry-on crisis? I needed to investigate. On a subsequent flight to Phoenix in an American Airlines Boeing 737-800 , I began to gather evidence. As soon as the seat-belt sign had extinguished, I got up to count the seats and bins. There were 26 six-seat rows in economy, and four rows of four seats in first class, for a total capacity of 172 luggage-encumbered souls. Hanging above those seats were 28 large overhead bins, plus two smaller ones at the front. Boeing later told me that the large bins are made to hold up to six standard-size carry-on bags each. Six times 28 is 168, so if we assume that each of the smaller bins can hold at least another pair of bags, there would be space enough for every passenger on a full flight to stow something overhead. It seemed my theory was debunked.

Sort of. The large bins, which were of a relatively new, swing-down design that Boeing calls “Space Bins,” must be loaded in a certain way to reach their maximum capacity. That means inserting the bags sideways and upright, so that they slide like books onto a shelf. The bags loaded like books also must conform to expected size. U.S. airline standards limit the dimensions of carry-on bags to 22-by-14-by-9 inches, but (shocker) many people bring on bags that are much larger, or are oddly shaped. Some bring two. If the margin for error in the bins is very small—as appeared to be the case for my flight to Arizona—then how likely is it that every piece of luggage on a full flight will end up stowed away?

The tenuous conditions of my trip to Phoenix turn out to represent something like a best-case scenario. Not every plane is as well-equipped as the aircraft that happened to be flying me that day. Boeing’s Space Bins are optional for airplane buyers, an upgrade over smaller models that are meant to hold just four bags each. An American Airlines spokesperson told me that 80 percent of its mainline fleet has the larger bins; the rest have compartments built for the luggage habits of our forebears.

Even with the larger bins installed, a given plane’s capacity for holding people could still exceed its theoretical space for those people’s suitcases. That’s because Boeing’s bins are stock equipment, a spokesperson told me, while each customer—i.e., each airline—designs its own seats, and specifies the distance between them. That space allowance, called “pitch” in the business, has been contracting over the years so that more seats can be crammed in. Naturally, all of those extra passengers end up sharing the same number (and volume) of overhead bins.

[ Read: Jeffrey Goldberg on the many prohibited items in his carry-on bag ]

At the same time, travelers have been given new incentives to engage in the aisle scrum for bin space. “Back in the day, we used to buy an airline ticket and many things were included,” Laurie Garrow, a civil-engineering professor at Georgia Institute of Technology who specializes in aviation-travel behavior, told me. “And then, after the 2008 financial crisis, that’s when the de-bundling started.” Under pressure from rising fuel costs, competition from low-cost carriers, and other factors, airlines separated standard perks such as free checked bags into individual services, which travelers could buy or forgo. To dodge those added costs, more people chose to carry on.

Those fees are not the only factor. Southwest Airlines passengers, who can check two bags for free, still seem to fight over limited space in bins. And business travelers, whose ticket class or airline status often comes with free checked bags, still like to store their stuff overhead. That’s because they value their time and don’t want to stand around a baggage carousel. Nor are they willing to accept the hassle of potential mix-ups with checked luggage.

The bags themselves have also changed. Today’s hard-shell cases don’t compress to fit as soft-shell bags do, which may erase whatever latitude remains in a bin-to-passenger ratio that is already way too low. The luxurious Space Bins on my flight to Phoenix just barely seemed to satisfy the airline’s implied promise to its passengers, and I hadn’t bothered to consider other complications. Passengers in bulkhead rows may not have under-seat storage and thus send their personal items up top too. And some bin space might be reserved for defibrillators or other safety equipment. Perhaps this isn’t quite the scam I had initially imagined, but the entire carry-on situation is dangled over a precipice, ready to tumble into the void at any moment.

Precarity of stowage leads to mayhem. The number of carry-ons being carried on has been rising since the great de-bundling , and more passengers are flying too. In the hellscape that results, passengers squeeze past one another as they roam in both directions down the aisles, in an often fruitless search for empty bins. By 2011, boarding times had already doubled compared with the 1970s, and they’ve crept up even further in the past five years. Based on my experience, the gate-lice epidemic is also getting worse.

Solving the carry-on crisis is difficult: The variables are many, and the incentives to change them are in conflict. The global airline industry now makes almost $30 billion a year from baggage fees. With rising fuel costs, increasing salaries for pilots, and the usual Wall Street pressures for quarterly performance, airlines aren’t likely to give up that income anytime soon. And yet, airlines also have an incentive to reduce the time it takes to load and unload planes, because doing so would allow them to turn flights around faster. If passengers had fewer carry-ons, airline schedules could be more efficient.

Boeing has researched and defined the maximum volume that a carry-on bag might reasonably occupy, given current consumer preferences and trends in luggage manufacturing. Teague, the firm that has designed all of Boeing’s aircraft interiors since 1946 (when overhead bins were nothing more than hat racks), incorporates that figure into its holistic vision of an aircraft’s interior: windows, lavatories, galleys, and, yes, overhead bins. Innovations in the latter tend to go in one direction only: “It’s like an arms race between Airbus and Boeing over who has the biggest bins,” David Young, a Teague principal industrial designer who has worked on cabin features for 20 years, told me.

The design process is intricate. Overhead bins must be designed such that they never, ever open accidentally and also so they can be closed with little effort by passengers and flight attendants of various sizes and strengths. The bins must be easy to reach without getting in the way of passengers’ bodies during boarding and deplaning. Young and his colleagues also must ensure that baggage doesn’t shift around so much inside a bin that it falls out when a passenger goes to retrieve it. That task is made more difficult by the slippery, injection-molded plastic luggage that is now in vogue, which has a greater tendency to slide around in-bin.

I was impressed by Young’s account of the attention that goes into every detail of the bins’ design, but the whole affair felt like it might be accelerating the problem—in the way that adding lanes to a freeway can create more traffic than it alleviates . If the cabin designers are always trying to expand overhead bins to accommodate larger and more numerous carry-on bags, then surely passengers will respond by choosing and bringing ever bigger bags.

So what, then—should Boeing shrink the bins just to reverse the trend? Young and Garrow proposed another way: “Just check your bag,” they both suggested, as if this Buddhist avian manner could easily be put into practice. Garrow told me that she’s started packing less and using hotel laundry and dry-cleaning services, just so that her carry-on is smaller. Young said he brings only a bag that fits underneath the seat in front of him.

Fine ideas, I suppose. But the carry-on crisis won’t be solved by asking passengers to behave more sensibly. For the moment, we can’t even seem to figure out how to use the newer, more capacious bins the way we’re meant to. On my flight back home, passengers loaded them haphazardly, with some bags laid flat instead of on their side. As a result, those bins carried four bags at most, not six. When I asked my flight attendant how passengers respond to her instruction to stow each bag “like a book,” she shrugged. “I don’t know; sometimes I stack books flat on my shelves.”

One passenger on my flight expressed her perplexity aloud: “Like a book?” She sounded confused but also, in a way, concerned—as if her suitcase might not feel so comfortable on its side. I found this endearing. Roller bags are a little bit like pets, skittering across the floor, low to the ground, always by our side. Maybe people like to bring their bag on board because they want to have it close, as if the suitcase were a friend with whom they might share the loneliness of travel.

When I floated this idea to Young, he worried that I might be flying too much, and brought me back to Earth with a much more practical concern. Overhead-bin design has reached its limit, he said; the cabin luggage compartments won’t be getting any bigger: “I’d say we’re at a breaking point. We’ve hit as big as we can go.” That means some other solution to the carry-on crisis must be found. Some other, far more radical solution.

“Maybe we don’t need carry-ons at all,” Young went on. He was whispering, almost, as if his secret made him sound bananas, which it somewhat did. “Someone needs to step out and say, ‘We’re not doing this anymore. This isn’t the right experience for air travel.’” What if the overhead were instead restored to its original purpose, as a modest rack for hats, coats, shoulder bags, and briefcases? Already planning for this possible, if still unthinkable, future, Teague has started designing all of its interiors to include an option without any overhead bins at all. Imagine how light you’d feel up at cruising altitude with no bags encumbering you, and a stretch of empty space above your head.

“But where would the bags go?” I asked, not yet ready to loosen the grip on my Rollaboard. Maybe you’d drop them off early, at the AirTrain station, he explained, or later at the gate. Or maybe you’d board the plane with them, as you always have, but then you could lower them down into the hold from the cabin floor. Who knows? Young’s point is: Nobody has even tried to imagine an alternative. Travelers ought to dream of a future without carry-on luggage, rather than one that expands endlessly to contain it.

Travel | fdle confirms investigation involving orlando-area rep. amesty, things to do, travel | travel troubleshooter: ita airways lost my luggage. why won’t it cover my expenses.

Since my luggage was missing the entire trip, I had to make purchases, including luggage. My coat was in my suitcase. Thank God another woman on my tour lent me her coat. The weather was cold with heavy rain.

So many things that I needed were difficult to purchase because we returned from tours late in the day. I think I did a good job of keeping my cost of purchases to a minimum, but I still spent $992. I have copies of my receipts.

ITA Airways wants to reimburse me $733. I’d like to be fully reimbursed. Can you help me?

— Jacqueline Bartolini, Bradenton, Florida

ANSWER: ITA Airways is liable for the entire $992. Under the Montreal Convention, if an airline loses, damages or delays your checked luggage, you’re entitled to compensation up to an amount of about $1,400 (unless there’s damage caused by an “inherent” defect in the baggage).

Bottom line: If you can prove that you purchased these items while you were waiting for your luggage, ITA Airways should cover them.

Unfortunately, airlines don’t always pay what they’re supposed to. They may scrutinize your list of items and say, “We don’t think you really needed that.” Looking at your list, I can see a few items that might have raised eyebrows, including $85 in cosmetics, a $6 mirror and a pair of shoes for $172. However, you were careful to document each purchase and noted the reasons for buying each item.

I think ITA Airways needed to tell you why it wouldn’t cover certain items, but I don’t see it justifying its decision not to reimburse you anywhere in your correspondence with the airline.

You might have avoided these problems by traveling light and carrying your luggage on the plane. I know this sounds unreasonable, but take it from someone who lives out of his luggage — it’s doable.

I know very experienced travelers who never check their luggage. They buy any toiletries they need at their destination if it exceeds 3.4 ounces, like a large tube of toothpaste or a bottle of shampoo. (I have all my liquids in 3.4-ounce, airplane-safe containers.)

You could have appealed this to an executive at ITA Airways. I publish the names, numbers and email addresses of the ITA Airways executives on my consumer advocacy site, Elliott.org.

Given that ITA Airways didn’t really explain why it shorted you $259, I thought it was worth asking. So I did. After you reached out to my consumer advocacy team, we checked with ITA Airways. At first, the airline said it couldn’t refund you because it didn’t have documentation for some items. But it did have them, and you showed them the receipts again.

Finally, 10 months after you lost your luggage, ITA Airways sent us the following statement: “ITA Airways apologizes for the disruption and confirms that the customer will receive a refund for the expenses related to the purchase of items which occurred due to this inconvenience.”

Then it sent you a check for $733. I contacted ITA again and asked it to cover the rest of your expenses, as agreed. It finally did.

Dagne Dover Launched Its First-Ever Rolling Luggage Collection

By Juliet Izon

If you’ve been in an airport at any point during the last decade (and we’re guessing you have if you’re reading this), then you’re familiar with Dagne Dover ’s ubiquitous Dakota backpack . Made out of squishy, durable neoprene and available in a kaleidoscope of trendy colors ranging from a mauve-y Dune to the chartreuse Piña, the pack has garnered legions of fans not only for its sporty-yet-chic design, but its clever features like a luggage sleeve and an included shoe bag.

In recent years, the Dakota has become my favorite travel companion, which made me even more excited to test out the brand’s first-ever line of rolling luggage, which launched on June 21. The collection, dubbed The Luggage Edit , includes two sizes of checked rolling luggage (28.5" and 25"), two carry-ons (23.5" and 20.5"), four sizes of packing cubes, and two types of garment bags, all available in four colorways—(Onyx, Dark Moss, Warm Dust, and Ash). Similar to the cult-favorite backpacks, these pieces are engineered to help you travel smarter, while still turning heads in the terminal.

“For years people have been asking us, ‘When are you going to come out with luggage?’” says Dagne Dover CEO and co-founder Melissa Mash . “They want something that’s modern—that feels like our generation—but also has the functionality that accounts for all the things they’re traveling with. They haven’t seen that yet for luggage, so I think that’s going to be a big piece of the appeal of our bags.” One telling example? Dagne Dover’s garment bag extends out to a generous 67" length, which means it can accommodate a long dress (hello wedding season!) without the train getting scrunched up at the bottom.

All in, the process from initial ideation to completion took about three years. “We knew it would require a lot of R and D, market research, focus grouping, surveying, and then also just testing the product ourselves,” says Jessy Dover, chief creative officer and co-founder. The brand’s fastidious attention to detail has paid off: The new pieces are not only extremely user-friendly, but, well, super cute, too. Read on to hear what I love most about a few new pieces in the collection, after taking them on a nearly weeklong trip to the Franciacorta region of Italy as well as a long-weekend jaunt to Hotel Le Toiny in St. Barths .

Discover Dagne Dover's new collection:

The brand’s rolling luggage is divided into two categories, checked and carry-on, but all of the pieces feature the same ultra-durable and water-resistant exterior made with recycled 900 D poly fabric. Each carry-on and checked suitcase also features padded handles that make lugging them out of overhead bins far more comfortable, zippers that allow you to open it from the front or clamshell-style, and the smoothest 360-degree wheels I’ve ever used. The Sydney’s 28.5" and 25" models can easily fit a week’s worth of clothes or more—especially when you pair them with the coordinating packing cubes. These larger sizes can also accommodate a pet carrier on top and have a zippered expander for when you inevitably return with more than what you packed.

Capacity : 66L (25" bag); 95L (28.5" bag)

Price : $675 (25" bag); $725 (28.5" bag)

The smaller Seattle carry-ons are ideal for long weekend trips. I recently tested out the 23.5" carry-on for a trip to Italy’s Franciacorta region, and not only did it easily fit all of my day and night outfits, it also got a few admiring stares in the Milan airport as well. I love the amount of pockets in this model (similar to Dagne Dover’s Dakota backpack), from the padded tech sleeve you can access from the front of the bag, to the slim zippered pocket in the back that’s great for stashing your passport or license on the go. One caveat: I tested this bag in the Warm Dust color (think a dusty rose), and when I needed to check the bag while on a Tradewind flight to St. Barths, it did come back with noticeable scuff marks. You might want to opt for darker shades like Carbon if you’d rather not see as much wear and tear.

Capacity : 41L (23.5" bag); 33L (20.5" bag)

Price: $625 (23.5" bag); $595 (20.5" bag)

I love a coordinated moment, so the fact that these packing cubes can be color-matched to your luggage fills my type-A heart with joy. Made out of cushiony, recycled Air Mesh, the cubes come in four different sizes, with the largest holding bulkier pieces like sweatshirts and packable jackets , while the smallest is perfect for underwear or storing all of your electronic cords. One particularly smart touch is the customizable labels on the front, which means it’s easy to figure out what’s inside each one.

Size : 2-19L

Price : $30-$45

If you’re looking for something a little sturdier than the plastic bag the department store gave you, the Capri garment bag is a game-changer. It easily fits four outfits, and as mentioned above, is long enough for floor-length formalwear. Four smaller zip pockets are great for storing jewelry or cufflinks, and there are also two designated pockets for shoes—which means you can truly pack your whole outfit in one of these without anything getting misplaced. This also might be the first garment bag I’ve tried that includes a luggage sleeve, allowing me to navigate through the airport hands-free. Downsides? I found the metal buckles on this bag to be a little harder to unclasp than your standard plastic variety, and it took me a minute to figure out how to fold it back up properly (though maybe that says more about my spatial skills than anything else).

Capacity : 25L

Unlike the Capri garment bag above, the Monaco can also double as a weekender , which means you’re really getting two bags for the price of one. You can easily fit everything you need for a long weekend getaway in here, but I also like using it as a gym-to-work bag. It comes equipped with a designated padded computer pouch and a shoe bag that can be used for dirty clothes. Unlike other garment duffels I’ve tested previously, which are often a bit flimsy and lean more into garment bag territory than duffel, this model is far sturdier. I especially love the strong zipper, which easily unzips the bag to lie flat, and the convertible straps for both long and short carry.

Capacity: 46L

The verdict:

The luggage space—particularly when it comes to rolling bags—has certainly been flooded with “disruptive” direct-to-consumer brands in the last few years. So it’s legitimate to ask why we need another entry into the category, and what Dagne Dover is offering that’s different from the carry-on you already have stashed at home. For me, the major reason why I’ll be swapping these bags into my travel rotation is their ability to help me organize better: The many pockets and ways of accessing compartments in the bags has helped me pack (and unpack) smarter and faster. And as someone who’s on the road at least once every three to four weeks, that’s worth the higher price tag.

Amtrak with kids is easier (and cheaper) than you think

Half-priced tickets and the Red Cap service made a trip from D.C. to NYC manageable.

Driving back to D.C. after a long weekend in New York in March, my husband and I were dreaming of a different kind of trip: no bathroom stops, no need to gas up, no shrieks from kids tired of their car seats, no traffic jams.

It’s a shame, we agreed, that it would be so expensive to take the train from D.C. to NYC as a family of four. But wait. Would it?

We started to consider the cost of fuel and tolls — and the toll of meltdowns, frequent bathroom breaks for a preschooler and stop-and-go traffic. Then we discovered Amtrak’s half-price tickets for passengers between the ages of 2 and 12, and a free ride (on an adult’s lap) for a child under 2. We ended up booking three round-trip tickets for a total of $255 — only slightly more than I’ve paid for a trip just for myself.

Take a forgiving baggage allowance, invaluable assistance at the train station, bathrooms in close proximity and the ability to have mini-adventures in transit (cafe car, anyone?), and my husband and I agreed: It felt like we were on vacation the moment we got on the train. Arriving in less time than it takes to drive — under three-and-a-half hours to New York and a little bit longer on the way home — was another perk.

Some Amtrak regulars might wince at the idea of sharing train space with a 3-year-old and 9-month-old, so I’ll just say this now: We avoided the quiet car.

Here’s what we learned about riding the rails with tiny passengers.

Take advantage of the Red Cap service

I read that families with kids are allowed to pre-board, but I wasn’t sure how that would work. All my previous experiences taking Amtrak involved watching for the gate to pop up on a screen and then making a beeline to jockey for position with hundreds of fellow passengers.

But using the Red Cap service was hands down the best advice we got.

The employees are described as “dedicated Amtrak staff you can count on for free baggage handling assistance.” They also assist passengers with disabilities, older travelers, large groups — and, yes, families with small kids. Amtrak says customers can tip if they like; I’m here to tell you that this service is priceless for a family and you should definitely tip.

We arrived at Union Station in Washington about 30 minutes before departure with our eyes peeled for red. Near the gates, we spotted a sign and someone in the namesake red hat (plus polo shirt) and asked for help boarding. He rolled our Pack ’n Play on his cart and brought us and another group with a small child right down to the track, then helped both parties find seats designated for groups of three or more people. We were on board by 9:19 a.m., more than 15 minutes ahead of departure.

In a first for me, the train was entirely empty when we boarded.

On our way back to D.C., we asked police in Penn Station for directions to the Red Cap station. Once there, someone checked our ticket and once again, got us on the train a few minutes before anyone else. Both times, we were able to get situated without getting in anyone else’s way.

People who want to use the Red Cap service should arrive 45 minutes early, an Amtrak representative told me later. The service is only available at major stations including Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York, Wilmington, Del., New Haven, Conn., and Boston’s South Station on the East Coast. Elsewhere, find it in Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, Ore., and Seattle.

According to Amtrak, priority boarding is also available for families with small kids at some stations; travelers should ask a customer service representative at the station to find out.

Book early for deals, but read the fine print

I often take Amtrak to New York, so I knew from experience that great prices can be found by searching far in advance, staying flexible with dates and seeking out less-convenient times. By booking six weeks in advance for a Thursday through Saturday, we found times and prices that were doable with kids. (I’ve since been tempted by round-trip tickets for the family for $175.)

Our fare was in the “value” category , which doesn’t come with a lot of flexibility: changes are not allowed, and there’s a 25 percent cancellation fee. The restrictions are clear when booking, but I must have shrugged them off because I was surprised when I tried and failed to change our return time.

Amtrak spokeswoman Kimberly Woods said the half-price discount for kids aged 2 to 12 is “an everyday discount we offer to encourage families to get onboard and experience a better way to travel.”

Kids need to be accompanied by at least one adult, and the discount isn’t good for business class on non-Acela trains, first class or private rooms. One child under 2 is allowed on board for free with an accompanying adult, as long as they sit on a lap.

You’re allowed more free bags than on a plane

My packing strategy for family road trips is usually “better safe than sorry” — which leaves us with a bunch of bags. That likely would have been fine under Amtrak’s luggage rules for this route. Every passenger can bring two carry-ons and a personal item at no additional charge. For people traveling with a child under 2, an additional infant item, like a stroller or diaper bag, is allowed for no fee.

I knew we’d have to manage every item on crowded NYC streets and public transportation as well as “the big train,” as we started calling Amtrak. With a stroller, portable crib, diaper bag, purse, small duffel, tiny cooler bag and two backpacks that held clothes for the four of us, we felt unwieldy — but were still within the baggage limits.

I thought that I might check a bag at the station, but found out in the moment that the train only allowed carry-ons. That turned out to be fine, but it was difficult to suss out in advance if we would be able to check a bag.

The cafe car is your friend

Our seats on both legs of the trip were conveniently close to the bathroom and suitably far from the cafe car — a good arrangement for urgent restroom needs and time-killing sojourns to check out the food offerings.

Amtrak’s website noted that changing stations were available in the bathrooms on “most” train cars, but we never found one. A spokesperson later clarified that changing areas were available on the Acela and some long-distance trains.

Being able to walk around was key; my daughter loved to tap the button to open doors between cars. Seats were spacious, and the view was sufficiently interesting to entertain both kids in spurts.

“Mama look, we’re going fast!” my daughter said as we accelerated. We passed over a sparkling body of water and she excitedly pointed out “the ocean!” We’ll work on geography.

The cafe car’s menu had plenty to satisfy a preschooler’s palate, even if some items like a chewy, barely warm grilled cheese were not a success. An iced lemon pound cake was a hit, as were pretzels and a tropical fruit salad that was as delicious as it was messy.

But it’s still a confined space, so pack entertainment

If you’re a parent too, you know kids get bored and antsy over the course of three-plus hours doing anything. This definitely applies in a confined space.

To pass the time, we packed toys for both kids and a tablet with headphones for our preschooler. She drew using an art app and watched some of her favorite movies and shows on Disney Plus in between walks, trips to the bathroom and food car visits.

The baby nursed, squealed as he tapped on the window and, at naptime, cried a little until we soothed him to sleep. Thankfully, the tears were short-lived — and unfortunately, so were the naps.

My husband and I couldn’t help but overhear someone else’s temper tantrum: a loud, angry businessman cursing during a video meeting, which prompted an Amtrak employee to suggest he relocate to the bathroom if he wanted to use that language.

Unlike my solo train trips, I did not pass my time napping, reading and browsing social media. But I loved taking the ride with them and introducing them to a new travel experience.

The takeaway

We found Amtrak a refreshing alternative to driving, and one that we’ll choose in the future. But we were also lucky on several fronts: The trains were not delayed, which is not always a given . Red Cap service was available at our station. We had our choice of seats when we boarded. There were no diaper emergencies.

If we had boarded somewhere without the extra assistance, or when the train was already packed, it could have been trickier. And the lack of a diaper changing station could have required yogic maneuvering in the bathroom (next time I’ll bring some oversized changing pads). Packing our own snacks and entertainment was crucial.

For us, the best part of the trip was eliminating the drudgery of a drive and turning that time into an adventure where both parents could be present and engaged with our kids. We watched the skylines pass until New York’s came into view and marveled over how much less stressful the train felt than four or more hours on I-95.

“I love the train,” my husband said at one point.

“Me too,” echoed the 3-year-old.

Travel Tips for Jackson as Summer Passenger Volumes Heat Up

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers are screening record numbers of passengers across the country. Passengers are reminded to arrive at the airport early and know what is in their bags. TSA officers at Jackson Medgar-Wiley Evers International Airport (JAN) have already intercepted 16 firearms at the security checkpoints so far this year. 

“Passengers are reminded to be sure they are not carrying prohibited items before they enter our checkpoints,” said TSA Federal Security Director for the State of Mississippi Kim Jackson. “Make sure your firearm is not in your carry-on bag and also check that you do not have a pocketknife or other threats that are not permitted in the cabin of the aircraft.”  

Most items that are prohibited in your carry-on bag can be placed in a checked bag.  But anything that is flammable, corrosive or explosive cannot travel anywhere on the plane. Hand grenades, even replica ones, cannot travel on the plane in checked or carry-on bags.  

If you are going to travel with your firearm it must be in your checked bag, unloaded and in a locked hard-sided case. You must declare it to the airline at check-in.  Travelers are responsible for being aware of what the firearm laws are on each side of their trip or they may be cited or heading to jail instead of to their vacation or business trip. Firearms may not be legal to transport even in checked baggage in some jurisdictions.

The most recent firearm intercepted by TSA at the Jackson checkpoints was on June 11th when 33-year-old man headed for Chicago entered the checkpoint with a 9 mm SCCY/CPX 1 firearm.  On May 9th, a 54-year-old man headed to Houston entered the checkpoint with a 9 mm Kel-Tec Sub 2000.

“Last year passengers across the state of Mississippi brought 50 firearms to our security checkpoints with 35 of those in Jackson. So far this year we have stopped 24 firearms across the state,” Jackson said. “We are not even halfway through the year, so the trend is unfortunately escalating, as it has been every year.”

The specific year-to-date totals across Mississippi are 16 stopped at Jackson, six stopped at Gufport-Biloxi International Airport, and one each at Greenville Mid-Delta Regional Airport and Hattiesburg Laurel Regional Airport.

“Thanks to the experience and vigilance of our TSA officers, each of these firearms was intercepted before they could make it into the cabin of an aircraft,” Jackson added.

Many of the passengers across the country who bring firearms to a federal security checkpoint are arrested or issued notices to appear in court. Regardless of whether the individual is arrested or cited by law enforcement, with whom we immediately partner, passengers face a civil penalty imposed by the TSA that can reach nearly $15,000.  If the traveler is in the TSA PreCheck® program, those privileges will be lost for a period of time, possibly permanently.

The TSA is seeing record-breaking numbers of passengers traveling across the country so be sure to arrive early  and do heed these travel tips for getting through the security checkpoint as efficiently and stress free as possible.

Tip 1: No firearms in carry-ons. Firearms must be in checked  baggage. All firearms must be properly packed and declared  to the airline at check-in, which means unloaded and in a locked, hard-sided case. Contact your airline for additional guidance. And it is your responsibility to know what the firearm laws are on both sides of your trip.

Tip 2: Leave all prohibited items at home. To reduce the likelihood of a bag search at the checkpoint, search your own suitcase, backpack, computer bag or purse before leaving home. Unsure if it’s allowed: use the “What Can I Bring?”  link on TSA.gov .

Tip 3: Prepare for the security checkpoint. Have a valid ID card  readily available. If you are traveling with a carry-on bag follow the liquids, gels and aerosols 3-1-1 rule  of 3.4 ounces or less for each item and the items should be placed in a one-quart-sized bag, one bag per passenger. To simplify your screening and even before entering the checkpoint it is best to put your phones and any other content of your pockets into your carry-on rather than into a bin in the checkpoint.

Tip 4:   Help is available.  Get live assistance by tweeting your questions to @AskTSA  in English or Spanish or via Facebook Messenger . You can also call the TSA Contact Center at 866-289-9673 .

Tip 5: Enroll now in TSA PreCheck.  Travel with ease by enrolling in TSA PreCheck and avoid removing shoes, belts, liquids, laptops and light jackets. Most new enrollees receive a known traveler number within five days, and membership lasts for five years.      

Note to reporters:  Federal Security Director Kim Jackson will be available for interviews on Tuesday, June 25, between 1 and 4 p.m. Central Time.  To book a time slot, please email [email protected]
