Scott,
I have a question about luggage and international travel.
We are meeting our son in Cancun, Mexico. They are flying direct from Indianapolis to Cancun on Northwest. They return via Northwest to Houston, Texas and then switch to Continental.
They are traveling with toddler twins.
Continental apparently has declared Mexico a non foreign country as they say it does not consider it international travel to fly to Mexico and therefore their international free luggage service is not available and one has to pay for each piece of luggage! I didn’t know individual airlines could determine which foreign country is “international.” It seems illegal to me.
It really isn’t as much about the money for the luggage but the idea, the fickleness, and the confusion. My son had to talk to over 4 different people to finally find someone who seemed to know Continental’s luggage policy.
It just doesn’t seem legal, especially since it is a booked round trip ticket. To pay for just that short hop from Houston to Indianapolis on a round trip ticket is ridiculous and very, very confusing!
So, (okay, the rant is over) I would like to submit a complaint to some regulatory agency but don’t know which one is responsible or would even look into something like this; do you know who I should contact? Our senators/representative?
Thanks,
Cheryl

Hi Judy–I don’t know Menehune Shores. I can recommend Kihei Bay Vista and Kamaole Sands….also Polo Beach Club in Wailea (expensive).
