laura/2shot considering that we're kicking "nbc bay area responds" to every complaint including many about airlines. >> and considering some kicking off the busy holiday travel season, consumer investigator chris chmura is at sfo with a pep talk to help us avoid some of the most common pitfalls. >> reporter: let's run through a couple scenarios. first, your flight is delayed or canceled. the solution? try booking yourself.

the major air carriers let you rebook online or on your app. rather than making a snap judgment by phone, you can actually see your options and weigh them. problem two, you're going to miss your flight. solution, alert the airline, by warning the airline in advance, craw might proactively refund you. if you're a no-show and don't call ahead of time, some airlines cancel your reservation and charge a fee or even force you to buy a new ticket on the spot. problem three, your flight is overbooked. solution? improve your odds. airlines oftentimes decide who to bump off a flight based on who is last to check in. get your boarding pass early. many airlines allow you to do that 24 hours in advance. people with unassign dollar seats can be at greater risk of being pulled off an overbooked flight. problem four, your luggage is lost. solution? file a claim immediately. also be sure to ask the airline whether they'll let you buy

essentially on their time, eight terms to keep you clothed and cleaned until your baggage arrives. if you paid a fee to check the bag that the airline later lost, i would file for reimbursement. federal law changes next week to require refunds. if you have a consumer complaint, you can call us. the number is 1-888-996-tips. or visit nbc bay area/responds. at san francisco international airport, i'm chris chmura, nbc bay area news. pete suratos also at san francisco international this morning. we're see fg there are any delays so far on one of the busiest travel days of the year. >> reporter: a busy day as folks fly out of town for the holiday weekend. what you need to know as you head out the door or if you're picking up a loved one. >> reporter: a sangal over taxpayer money here in the south bay. the ultimatum the city of santa clara handed down to the 4ers.
