Travel
Tricks :
- Remember
to arrive at least 2 hours before your flight. It can take
a while to check in and go through security.
- Take
some water on the plane with you. flying can be dehydrating
and sometimes the airline dosn't give you enough water
- Go
to the toilet before you get on the plane. Some flights require
you to be seated until take off. This can often take up to
30 minutes if not longer if your flight is delayed.
- Many
airports have hotel booking desks. They can often tell you
the best place to stay
- Always
go to the taxi stand at airports. Don't trust people who come
up to you offering a good deal.
- Shave
before you go through customs
- When
travelling with a suitcase try and wrap something bright around
the handle. This will help you identify it on the conveyor
belt at the other end and hopefully stop someone picking it
up by mistake thinking its theirs.
