  • 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.

  • Privacy and Sanity Break

  • - Although this may sound strange, please keep in mind that I travel 75% of my time for business. When you are tired of fighting for a place in line and hearing that your flight has just been cancelled, take a walk directly into the nearest restroom stall. I have found it to be my sanctuary. After I shut my stall door and place my 35-lb. shoulder bag down, nobody can bother me. Sometimes I even read a magazine between flights.

  • Protect Your Driver's Licence

  • - Paranoid of losing my drivers license, I kept my recently expired drivers license to use as photo ID for the airport security checkpoints. My current DL stays safe in my wallet and I only got quizzed on the expired date once.
