Preserve Your Tan

- When you are travelling on a plane, take a small bottle of moisturizer with you - as the air dries out your skin. Also make sure you lather it on before you get on the plane, or by the time you get back you will wonder where your tan has gone! (Your skin sheds off)

Prevent Blood Clots

- On long flights, especially in coach, take a few minutes to get up and walk the aisles. Or at least do some exercises ... move your legs and arms to simulate walking If you are not allergic to it, take an asprin. Blood clots can form on long flights when you do not move and they can kill you. (See http://www.aviation-health.org/Health_Advice.html)

Prevent Boredom

- Except for the airline's own magazine, most U.S. airlines do not provide other magazines on board. So, it is a good idea to bring your own books and magazines, especially on extended trips to Europe and South America.

Prevent DVTs on Long Flights

- When on a long flight or a long road trip, try to get up and walk around about every hour. Doing this will help prevent a deep venous thrombosis (DVT), or a blood clot in the leg. If you can't get up to walk, then try to move your legs in your seat every half hour.

Prevent Lost Luggage

- I travel almost weekly with my job and have had my share of lost luggage. Because my luggage carries work related materials, it is important that it is located as quickly as possible. Tips to ensure this are:

Purchase luggage that is a color other than black - because with the high percentage of black luggage out there, yours will stand out.
Always put a strap around your luggage. Once again, this makes your luggage stand out.
Carry a photograph of your luggage. I have had numerous misplaced baggage agents tell me this makes the location easier.
