The Christmas Day terrorist attack on Delta Flight 253 from Nigeria via Amsterdam's Schipol Airportto Detroit by a Nigerian national claiming Al Qaeda ties resulted in no directinjuries except to the suspected terrorist himself. Omar or Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab has been identified as a 23 year-old Nigerian national who apparently was attempting to blow himself up with a small explosive device, but only managed to set himself on fire. The important to budget travel is to approach onward. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the reality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our minds. Arranging and consuming our travel budget wisely is a consideration for most families. Minimizing spending and prices, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured achievements and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding saving money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal budget is really tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel costs!. Other passengers and crew subdued the man, one of whom reportedly leapt over several rows of seats and restrained the suspected terrorist in a headlock.
The plane was just about to land in Detroit and continued on to make a normal landing. As a precaution emergency vehicles were standing by.All passengers were detained for special screening and interviews prior to continuing on with their travel plans.
Airports around the nation are expected to immediately increase security measures during one of the busiest travel times of the year.
How can you get through the security screening? We all know the recent drills about no liquids, but here are some more hints:
-Be alert for the latest announcements from TSA. As more information comes out about the device used in this attempted terrorist attack, you can be sure security screening will be beefed up for any item used in the attempted attack on Delta flight 253. Here is the TSA Website.
-Keep it simple. Do you need that item with you or can it go in your checked baggage? If you get pulled out for secondary screening, the fewer the items, the better.
-Allow extra time. How much? Contact your airline and/or the airport directly. They should be able to tell you how much time you'll need to allow. If you're on a domestic flight, I'd allow at least two hours, and three hours for international flights. For flights originating in Europe and Africa, especially in the Netherlands andNigeria, expect for security to be especially thorough.
The Delta Flight 523 is referred to in some sources as Northwest Flight 253; it also codeshared with KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines) under Flight 6523.
