3 Steps to Travel Asia Mini Guide
I travel quiet extensively between many countries, typically business International travel. I thought I would share some travel tips, I have encountered, as we are going through some interesting times. I hope to save the traveler some time and headaches, as each country, or airport for that matter is changing security measures in many different ways.
Now , I typically go on International Travel , so I experience changes between countries. When taking any domestic flights, I even experience different security measures implemented within the same country, but at different airports. So time travel can be challenging, and I hope these simple steps can save you from a bit of frustration, understanding, everything is focused on passenger safety right now as 1st priority.
Step 1. In the Beginning :
From many years of International Travel, I found it best to book my own ticket online. This allowed a far better price. American Express Travel offered a nice insurance coverage as well.
Now, I have switched back, and use my original travel agent in Los Angeles for all World Travel. He has access to far greater information than I could get online. The reason is simple, I can use my cell phone, direct call from Hong Kong, have him check or make any latest Airline Travel changes on his PC, confirm connecting flights, delays, etc., and even make real time changes, plus all travel services.
You may think the cost of a international cell phone call is expensive, but actually not for information , time saved, and general safety. I am on a 1st name basis, he understands clearly any questions in under a minute, and done in a few brief minutes. So, possibly a $6.00 call, compared to a bottle of Aspirin at $5.00, your choice.
Now, sounds the same, but here is the trick, he receives so much feedback on different flights, airports, extended security time in different countries, I may have missed a connecting flight in many cases if I did not know this before hand. It is not all about Discount Travel any more.
For example typically your check in for International Travel is 2 hours in advance. I check in 4 hours early, and then have leisure time after customs, check in bags, etc. Also travel light, have a carry on with one extra shirt, small things in case your bag gets delayed, this is now more sensitive, and can happen, consider some simple needs to get you by for a day.
Step 2: Know Your Connecting Flights :Make sure you understand all connecting flights prior final destination point. Here is what can happen, first stay with the same airline company, and the same plane, since probably just a flight crew change, and refueling, . That means the Jet is already there, verses pending another incoming Jet, with possible unforeseen delays. Avoid changing Airlines for any connecting flights if at all possible. Greatest chance for delays, and missed connecting flights.
Example ; I depart from LAX for [...]
3 Easy Steps To Planning Family Vacations for the Whole Family
Family vacations are something that takes a bit of planning so that everyone can enjoy the experience without going crazy. Especially where children are concerned, family vacations need to be planned out well ahead of time to be sure that all the kids will have a good time, and also so mom and dad won’t stress out too much, too! With just a little bit of planning, a vacation that could have everyone ready to have a serious meltdown can turn into a really pleasant vacation for everyone.
Planning family vacations really aren’t that difficult, you just have to know where you’d like to go, what your families’ interests and limitations are, and also how much money you want to spend. Family vacations are doable on just about any budget, if you’re working on a tight budget you might have to be a little bit more creative, but sometimes that makes the whole thing more of an adventure for the whole family.
First, you need to decide where you’d like to go. For most families, their interests, a venue, or event is what attracts them to a particular area. If your family has an amusement park or attraction in mind, it’ll make your destination selection quite simple. After you’ve decided where to go you’ll need to decide how you’ll be getting there. If you’ll be flying, you’ll want to make your reservations as far in advance as possible so that there isn’t any stress, because when you are planning a family vacation you want to eliminate as much stress as possible.
If you will be flying, you’ll want to get online and see if you can’t create some savings by booking your rental car at the same time. Many websites can offer you a substantial savings if you can book your flights and your car rental at the same time, so really give it some consideration as it’ll give you more money for buying souvenirs and other items that you’d like to buy while actually on vacation. Because family vacations are quite expensive when you fly, pay for vacation rentals, and rent a car you’ll want to find all the possible ways to save some cash.
Vacation rentals are a great way to save money on family vacations. Vacation rentals are bigger than hotel rooms, giving your family more space. Since most come with full kitchens you can cook some meals and save on restaurant expenses. Another way to save is to book a vacation rental direct from the owner, instead of through a management company, who essentially is a middleman.
After all your arrangements have been made you’ll just want to be sure that everyone in your family is prepared for the vacation. Make sure that all the children know exactly what to expect during your travels, as that will alleviate their stress and make travels easier for parents, too. Children tend to be very excited when they begin their family vacations, so if they are aware that they have to [...]
