Make sure you tell him to leave a little extra time at LAX. It can be a total zoo at the skycap line and even worse inside. And as for bag fees, just make sure his bags are under 50lbs. They are still pretty lenient about that weight and many times they'll let you repack the bags at the counter. I've seen people check 54-55lb bags recently without a problem. YMMV though.
Thanks for the chuckle! You can take the Canadian out of Canada, but you can't take the hockey out of the Canadian!
Funny thing is, if it weren't for all the games he referees, you would NEVER see him on our home computer! Ha! Now he is checking his email all the time at home...cracks me up. He eats/breaths hockey. He's been referring since the 80's actually. He's not one to sit on the phone and chat either.
Thanks again.
