Here are some basic rules that we think
will serve you well when traveling |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.
Don’t check your bags. Sometimes
you need to carry too much to ‘carry on’. . .if you don’t have to
travel quite so ‘heavy’, don’t. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.
Never accept a situation that presents itself just as it is until
you have given it some independent thought and/or gotten additional
input. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.
Remember that all questions have answers, and that the quality of
our lives is dependant on the questions that we ask. |

Travel is about getting from point A to point B
in the way you would most like to get there. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*
Usually, your main priority is to keep the amount of
elapsed time to the minimum amount possible. |
|
|

|
Here
are some things that tend to stretch time en route: |

If
you are in the airport waiting for whatever reason for your plane,
consider going to a competing airline and asking if there is anything
that they can do to help you. You
would be surprised how often they will be willing to take your ticket.
Why would they take your ticket?
Two such reasons given to me by airline personnel are: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) "If we
take your ticket, we get paid" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b)
“If we get paid, they don’t” |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This
may even work if you want to fly at a different time that is stated on your
ticket. Keep in mind that
these alternatives are all going to be ‘standby’ and at the pleasure
of the other airline, but I believe that this technique can produce some
very good results. |
