Try to upgrade as soon as you book your flight or as soon as you are allowed to upgrade according to the frequent flyer program's rule. Some airlines upgrade you right away; others automatically upgrade you at a set amount of time before departure, yet others require you to call or logon to request the upgrades when the upgrade window opens. UpgradeBuddy.com UpgradeBuddy.com ID1473 - If you are a frequent business traveler I suggest always going with an e-ticket rather than a traditional paper ticket. I once had my corporate travel agent book my flight with a paper ticket, and it was sent to my home address. I'm home very infrequently and I didn't get the paper ticket in time. When at the airport, while waiting for them to clear up the problem of my not having a paper ticket in hand, I missed the connecting flight. UpgradeBuddy.com UpgradeBuddy.com ID1472 - If you don't want to stand around in an airport for 3 hours trying to find transportation to your destination, and you don't want to spend a fortune, a bus or airport shuttle is the way to go. Most large airports have them. To shorten the time even more, call ahead and reserve one. It doesn't cost extra. The companies are not all the same, so try to get a recommendation from a local travel agent. Also, when you make your reservation, make sure you find out WHERE to catch your ride. Airports are large and confusing, but most have specific signs for transportation services. Make sure you're at the right bus stop. Frank Blakely, Southern California Coach ID1182 - 1. When travelling by car to the airport, have someone take you and drop you off, then return the car to your house. 2. Check with the airport and online for the various parking fees - i.e. short, long, economy, and off-airport parking. 3. Check with local hotels about leaving car in their parking lot and what they will charge, then use their shutttle bus to get to the airport. Carolyn Rapolas ID2175 - Wear fire retardant clothing, like wool, when travelling. Nylon and synthetic clothing such as panty hose can melt to your skin if you are caught in a fire on board.
