Flying. Flying has become one of the most common forms of travel, but as airlines get bigger they need to accommodate a larger number of people and their demands.

Flying With Children. Always inform the airline you are traveling with children when you by your tickets. Reservations for infants and children under 2 cannot be made on most online travel sites. You must contact the airline directly.

    • Newborns. Most airlines will not allow a child under seven-days old to travel on any plane. Often if the child is that young they will also require a doctor’s permission slip.
    • Small Children. There is usually two options when traveling with small children, lap or buy a seat. If the child is less than 2-years old they can sit in your lap for domestic flights. Most airlines do not charge for lap children. However, if you feel more comfortable, you can buy a seat and place the child in an FAA approved restraint. Buying a ticket for these children is usually discounted substantially and most car seats are approved. Double-check the airline for FAA requirements. All international flights require children to be in restraints.

Unaccompanied Minors. It’s not uncommon for children to fly alone. Many are seasoned travelers bouncing between parents, friends or relatives. Most airlines will take responsibly of minors for a fee. The cost is usually between $50 and $100 depending on the airline. Additionally, the age requirements may differ. For most, children between the ages of 5 and 7 are only allowed on direct flights. Children between 8 and 14 can fly on connecting flights. The age when children are not required an escort depends on the airline. For example, Delta requires all children under the age of 14 to have an escort whereas with United, children over 12 it’s optional.

Pets. Many airlines accommodate animals of different sizes. You can take them as carry-on, checked as baggage or shipped. Some states require a health certificate. It is suggested to have all veterinary paper work available including shots. Always call the airline or check their website before booking your ticket. Some are more restrictive than others.

Most animals must be 8 to 12-weeks old to fly. The American Veterinary Medical Association suggest not to sedate cats and dogs. This may effect their natural equilibrium and cause injury. Many of these tips and suggestions are for domestic flights in the 48 continental United States. International restrictions and fares may vary.

  • Carry-on. Carry on pets must be small enough to fit into a kennel under the seat in front of you. There is usually a fee of about $50 to $100 per animal. Most airlines only accept cats and dogs. Delta will also accept, birds, ferrets, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs, whereas, SouthWest doesn’t accept pets of any kind.
  • Checked Baggage. Larger warm-blooded mammals and birds are usually checked as baggage. Animals must be in comfortable kennels and are taken at the check-in counter and retrieved in baggage claim. They are safely placed under the plane in a pressurized and heated compartment. There is usually a $100 charge for checking your animal. Sometimes it is more difficult for baggage handlers to get your pet to your connecting flight. When booking your flight remember to give yourself between a one and three hour layover.

I recently returned from Panama where I was hosted by the Lost Coast Explorer, a 100′ converted crabber. The LCE acts as a mother ship and accommodates up to 12 guests. There are (3) 25′ cruisers equipped for diving, fishing and shore excursions.

The majority of our Panamanian adventure was spent in Coiba National Park which opened to tourism in 1992. Coiba Island served as Panama’s penal colony for 86 years. Today, Coiba is gaining international attention due to the trophy size Blue and Black Marlin that frequent the legendary Hannibal Bank. In addition to fishing, Coiba is drawing divers, surfers, researchers and eco-tourists from around the world.

The fishing, diving and surfing in Coiba are world-class. On the last day of our excursion, a member of our group hooked a 1000+ pound Black Marlin. I will always remember the look of awe on his face when he realized what had hit his bait. Other species targeted in Coiba include Sail Fish, Yellow fin Tuna, Skip Jack, Jack Travalle, Barracuda, and Grouper.

I had the supreme pleasure of diving on some of the most pristine coral reefs and pinnacles I have ever seen. There was no evidence that anyone had visited these sites before us. Giant Manta Rays, White Tip Sharks, and Green Sea Turtles seem undaunted by our presence. Whale Sharks frequent these waters September through January.

Coiba is just beginning to show up on the radar screen for the more adventurous travelers. Interestingly, very few Panamanians have visited Coiba. Its history as a Penile Colony has kept it a foreboding destination for the locals.

For an exquisite contrast to Coiba, I suggest spending a couple of nights in El Valle. El Valle is a small mountain town located midway between Santiago and Panama City. The town sits in the crater of an ancient volcano. It is much cooler at these altitudes. I stayed at Park Eden, a lovely Bed & Breakfast just out of town. The grounds were park like, and the owners spoke English. If you go, have lunch at Restaurante Bruschetta. I suggest the clams in a wonderful broth served in a clay pot.

You must also visit the historic Casco Viejo, or old City. This is the historic region and offers an interesting glimpse into Panama’s past.

Don’t worry about currency conversions. Panama uses US currency. My flight to Panama City was very reasonable, just $325 RT from Los Angeles.
