Regardless of whether you plan to travel within your home country or across borders, leaving home to travel is a source of great fun and sometimes stress. These tips should benefit your travel plans.
Always plan ahead when traveling by air. It can take a lot of time to reach an airport that is located in a major city, because of location and traffic. Have your bags packed well in advance. Do not procrastinate preparing for your flight. It feels terrible to miss your flight.
Always pay attention to your surroundings when traveling and keep track of your belongings. Keep your purse tucked under your arm. Also avoid pocketbooks which are easily opened by others on a busy street or subway. When you are buying a bag keep these things in mind.
Sometimes, the best way to deal with a red-eye flight is to have a sleeping pill to take once you are settled on the plane. For many, sleeping on a noisy and uncomfortable airplane can be difficult. If you have anxiety about flying, get your doctor to prescribe sleeping medicine to get you through your flight. Don’t have the pill before the plane takes off, as a delay or problem may require that the plane returns.
Everyone can’t afford to stay somewhere like the Ritz, but you may get stuck staying in a hotel that’s below one star. Take a plain doorstop with you for these situations. Make sure you lock door with the chain, and wedge that door stopper in there. While it is relatively simple to break a chain or lock, entering the room will be almost impossible if you have the extra protection of a doorstop.
Planning for your trip will make it that much better. The above tips will help make your trip one that you will always remember.
