A Helping Hand Along the Way: Baggage Adventures
One of the most common questions I get asked during my Travelers Aid volunteer shifts at Washington Dulles International Airport concerns baggage.

I generally ask to see their baggage check receipt and show them their bags have been checked through to their final destination.

A Helping Hand Along the Way
Nineteen United Airlines departures canceled and another 10 delayed. That was the situation at 4 p.m. at Washington Dulles International Airport during my shift last Friday. Summer is notorious on the East Coast for late afternoon and evening thundershowers. If lightning comes within 10 miles of the airport, operations are shut down. This kind of weather is the cause of delays and cancellations. It brings about intense frustration from the traveling public: delayed flights, missed connections, upended plans.
