So you are going on a vacation and you want to bring all the stuff that you need but you are wondering what kind of luggage would be the best and which ones are the no-no for the airlines. Do you buy a backpack..?? or the largest suitcase.. or one with straps.. or wheels..?? or even a branded one like louis vuitton..?? Hey.. what about the one that turns 360 degrees..?? Hmmm.. so which one is the right one..?? what do you think..?? More on it later.
My friends and families are constantly asking me for advice when they are about to travel or go on vacation. They want to know if they would be stopped for bringing their diet pills with them on the airplane or will they be stopped by custom .. when entering another country.
My advice for anyone who is traveling and has a prescription or taking long term medication is to make sure they get a letter from their family doctor with regards to these medication. As for diet pills – I don’t think you need to explain yourself to custom .. but make sure that they are in the right bottle so that there will be no suspicion arising from it.
So I’ve been asked over and over again.. how one can get the best seat on board an airplane. Is there a art..?? is there a technique..?? do you need to be enrolled in a premium membership thing with the airlines..?? Well, if you are a frequent flyer .. and have a frequent flyer gold membership with certain airlines, you of course get to go into the special lounge that they have in the airport – while waiting for your flight.. but these special membership .. does not guarantee you the best seat on board. But wait a minute.. it does carry some weight as well – not that much .. but it does.
Like the Singapore Airlines – the Krisflyer SilverKris Lounge providing first and business class customers, PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold members with the same exceptional service on the ground as in the air – around the world. So if you are not a member with your favorite airline, do make sure you get on it now.
Ok .. coming back to the best seat .. and getting it -if you have a seat that you were assigned to .. and you are determined not to take that seat, you can still try to get outta of it and get a better seat. Now is the time to let someone know that you are a frequent flyer traveler. Now if this fail, you can call a few days earlier .. and check again about your seat and asked if you can get a better seat .. or offer to pay for an upgrade – a small fees upfront is definitely worth it.. so thwat you don’t have to suffer a long haul in a bad seat.
Now if that fails too, you can try again when you are checking in .. but make sure you check in earlier.. and be the first in line, if possible because there are a lot of ppl who are out there trying to get good seats too. Now if that fails, make sure you are wearing your best suit or dress because at the gate if the flight is full – the person who is most likely to get picked for an upgrade is the person looking most presentable. So good luck.. and try these tricks that I’ve tried before.
I traveled once with some lawyers in the company . .and met some others who were Mesothelioma lawyers on board. We had a conversation about germs on airplanes.. and how one would always get ill as soon as the plane landed. Since i traveled so much, he asked if i had the same problem. Well, you see, we all know that cabins are very dry and they suck up the moisture from your mouth and eyes as well as skin. So staying hydrated was my #1 tip for him.. plus by doing that he can make sure that other parts of his body is functioning well and thus protecting his natural defenses against catching a cold and flu. And the vent right above your head, one should adjust it .. so that the airflow falls into your face, that way, it can push the germs away.. instead of letting it land on you . .and staying there or entering thru’ your mouth, eyes and nose.
Going to Walt Disney World.. before the summer ends..?? well .. it’s good to know that Disney is raising its admission fees from today. Bummer for some.. but still .. if you have kids.. and an increase of $10 for a few kids.. means.. they have less to snack on.. and you’ll have to pay more money.
Walt Disney World is raising the ticket prices for its theme parks.
Disney last raised its admission prices in August 2008.
The Orlando Sentinel reported Friday that the base price of a one-day, one-park adult ticket will increase from $75 to $79. The same ticket for a child between the ages of 3 and 9 will go from $63 to $68. Prices for the resort’s multiday ticket packages also will rise. The new prices will go into effect Sunday.
