Travel advice for every traveler should know

I recently had the opportunity, business trips to Portland, Oregon. It is not unusual for me, like most of my work is somewhere on the road. When I checked into a hotel, a woman was screaming at the front desk at the reception are managers. I tried to ignore the situation but was strong enough and it was impossible not to hear what was their problem. It seems that when they checked into the hotel, they asked for a credit card in order to cover the additional costs (telephone, minibar,etc.).

They gave their debit card. A little 'later, when something with their purchase card debt is gone and it was not enough money in their account. You see, when you check into a hotel and give them your plastic to keep them without delay, from $ 100 - $ 150 for each day of stay. Within a few days after your departure, that to keep them out. While I was there I thought, not everyone knows that? Apparently not.

I realized that when I take a lot of frequent travelersThings for granted. Here then is a list of travel tips that I found useful in many years of travel. I hope you find useful.

o If you want to book your airline, you should know, your goal (one of my clients in Portland, Maine) ended.

Or book your place in advance. Go look at the airline and what is open. Seatguru.com then go to one of my favorite travel sites. Choose your airline and the aircraft type listedYour ticket and there will be a plan for meeting the flight and assess any location on display positive and negative.

or Check if your flight is on time. You can use the airline's website and phone number, but I find Flighttracker.com of Orbitz more modern and easy to use. You can also click on the PDA. (Note: Southwest Airlines did not report this site).

or Be sure to bring some small change with him. Tips and travel together. EIf you travel internationally to bring small bills if you pay your money or exchange for something of dollars, most likely receive your change in local currency. Even if you're in a place that they are bargaining for a price, it is difficult to say that you have more money when you pay $ 100 with Bill and ask for change.

If you or driving to the airport, please note the parking information. When you return, you will not regret.

o If you check yourBag with a Skycap be nice. You decide where to go pocket.

or send your luggage before your name is on every budget. And inside, adding a business card or a piece of paper with your name and contact information is always a good idea.

o If the bag is activated, be sure to request a ticket to see if the routing is listed the same as your travel itinerary. Should be infallible, but you must be a lot of personal responsibility on the road.Also, make sure that the old baggage tags to be removed from bags.

o If you are traveling internationally, make a copy of your passport and bring it to a different location than the original. If your passport is lost or stolen, can accelerate the process of obtaining a new one.

or Be nice to your fellow travelers on the road and wear simple / OFF-shoes. Must be removed to go through security, and believe me, if you are with the shoes there are people who fight backRoll their eyes.

Or Carry-on liquids - you should know now. Otherwise, go tsa.gov.

When boarding or plane, count the seats between you and the emergency exit. I know what you think, if we go down, get enough holes in this layer. Do the same. And write your hotel in case of emergency exits.

o If you check into a hotel, use a credit card for incidental charges. DO NOT use a debit card. If you have no credit cardAsk a cash deposit.

Now that you or your room key, do not do anywhere near other magnetic keys, credit cards, name badges with magnets or cell phones. Yes, yes, mobile phones. Or there is to know the reception staff very well.

o Do not rely solely on hotel wake-up call. Use a watch or a cell phone as a backup.

Respect your neighbors or close the door and can not be beat.

Check or hotel room before the safeCheck-out. And do not forget your phone charger and computer. On a related note, if you arrive at your destination without the charger the phone, call the hotel Lost and Found. They usually have received dozens of previous guests that will give you.

These are some of my favorite travel tips. What are you?
