Travel Tips To Reach Your Destination Without Hassles
Many less experienced travelers find the prospect of air travel somewhat
discomforting for no valid reason. Air
travel can
be pleasant and a comfortable way to reach your destination if only you shed
your ill-founded inhibitions and do a bit of planning.
- Wherever possible opt for a non-stop flight in preference to direct flight.
Direct flights will mostly halt at other airports on the way to your destination
and will entail delays and restless waiting periods. Non-stop flights will
keep flying straight to your destination making you feel more at ease.
- Unless you are traveling at short notice, try to choose some convenient
date and time for flying. Please know that flights are typically busy on
Monday mornings and Friday evenings. It will be appropriate to choose a
daytime flight if you are new to air travel.
- Make it a point to leave for the airport early as quite often you may
have to overcome traffic congestion or problems with local transportation.
Besides, there could also be queues at airport security and check-in. By
arriving early at the airport you can avoid panic situations. Call or check
the airport / airline website for any last minute delays or alerts.
- Due to acts of terrorism, security measures have been beefed up in almost
all airports across the world. It is therefore necessary that you
purchase your air ticket under the exact name that appears on your ID.
- Try to select your seat as quickly as possible so
that you are not left with an inconvenient seat.If you have a
disability and need a premium seat in the bulkhead, tell the ticketing
agent when you make your reservation instead of officials at the airport.
- If you are undertaking foreign travel, you need to be armed with some
crucial information. For instance, some countries including Chile, Kenya,
and India — require a visa for entry. Certain other countries like
South Africa will not permit entrance unless your passport contains at least
two blank, unstamped pages. For a complete list of entrance regulations,
visit www.travel.state.gov/travel.
- If you arrive at your destination during late night hours, then it is
advisable to sleep off at the airport and then move out in the morning – particularly
if you have landed in an unfamiliar city and there is no local person to
receive you.
- It is wise to opt for a full-service airline over a budget airline as
full-service airline will include food, drinks, entertainment and at times
even alcoholic beverages. This will make your journey more comfortable and
you will experience less travel fatigue. Besides, budget
airlinesgenerally land in remote airports particularly in Europe
and that can mean additional road travel to the city.
- If you have by any chance missed a connection, do not stand in line to
rebook with a gate agent. Instead, use your cell phone to call the airline’s
customer-service number. You may speak to someone faster, giving you a better
shot at a seat on the next flight.
- When you leave the air port after arrival at your destination, chances
are you will be confronted by a swarm of taxi touts. These touts are there
to fleece high transport charges as you may not be aware of the distance
to your hotel. It is prudent to opt for either a bus or shuttle service
or a pre-paid taxi voucher available at the airport.
