Oh, The Places You'll Go, When You're Furnished With These Travel Tips!
Traveling is something we all do from time to time. It is often essential for both business and pleasure. Making traveling easier is a goal that many of us have. In this article we will discuss a few tips for making your next travel experience an easier one.

Purchasing an entertainment package when visiting a city with many attractions can save you time and money. An entertainment package purchased in http://comfycommuter.newsblur.com/ advance usually includes tickets to several area attractions, often at a discounted rate. This will take much of the stress out of a vacation, allowing you to walk past the long lines at the ticket counter when you arrive and get straight to the fun.

If you love to travel but have a chronic illness, don't fret! Your traveling days are not over. Just remember to travel smart by having all of your necessary medical supplies and emergency information readily accessible. You'll feel more comfortable leaving home and be prepared for any emergency situation!

If you will be traveling to a foreign country where English is not the primary language, please make the effort to learn at least a few basic phrases, and make sure your pronunciation is as close as possible to the real thing. If you start out in THEIR language, most non-English speakers will quickly realize that you don't actually speak their tongue, and will meet you more than halfway in a helpful attempt to communicate. Starting out in English, on the other hand, sends the message that they need to communicate on your terms, which is impolite.

Count doors before you count sheep. When you arrive at your hotel, count the number of doors between your room and the stairs. In case of a fire with heavy smoke, you will be able to feel along the wall and know when you've reached the exit. This most likely will not happen, but, as always, you're better safe than sorry.

If you travel a great deal for work, the constant change of venue and planes can be exhausting. Make it a bit easier on yourself by always requesting the same seat when you book a flight ("9A, please, or right over the wing." wink Actually, over the wing is a good spot because the plane tends to be most solidly anchored and less susceptible to vibration. That way, you will feel as though you're sitting in "your" seat on the same plane back and forth, and you'll also be accustomed to working in that particular position (window at your left, etc.)

If you have a choice when booking flights for travel, select an airline that uses primarily 767 jets. These larger jets have more legroom, and offer more direct flights because they can stay in the air longer. Also, the 767s have a two-three-two seat configuration, meaning there is only one middle seat per row instead of the usual two.
