1. I Have Discovered That Sleeping in the Airport Becomes a Way of Life
I travel a lot for business and for pleasure. It seems that my schedule seems to find me
traveling approximately every two months or so. At any given time, I may be traveling
more often or less often but the fact of the matter is always the same: I know travel. In
fact, as I write this, I am sitting at a client’s office in Charlotte, NC.
I also happen to be one the unluckiest travelers ever. If you are reading this and may have
the opportunity to travel with me, let’s hope YOU have some luck because when
it comes time to jet set to somewhere new, my luck runs out… I’ve had lost
bags, missed flights, horrible weather delays, rental cars that weren’t paid for (but
should have been), hotel rooms given to me that already had people inside of them (no
joke!), cell phone service quitting… You get the idea.
I’ve decided to put together some helpful tips for you so that you can avoid
having my luck and if you do find yourself with a case of bad luck, you can be prepared
for it.
1. Make sure there is at least 2 hours for your layover regardless of where you are
traveling.
If you travel a lot, you know that flights are hardly ever on time. Most run at least 30
minutes behind while some are an hour or more behind. There can be delays with the
plane coming in, delays with attendants not being in the airport yet, equipment delays,
safety check delays, etc. When booking your travel, always schedule a two hour layover
regardless of where you are traveling. You may be thinking, “Do I really have to
spend that extra time in the airport?” but speaking from my own experience, it
will actually save you time if you find yourself missing your next connection.
2. Check to see if the flight you are booked on is the last flight out – if you happen
to miss your connection due to delays, you want to make sure you can always hop onto
another plane.
This has happened to me more times than I can count and as a result, I’ve spent A
LOT of time sleeping overnight, usually alone, in the airport. Most recently, after coming
home from Las Vegas and flying from LV to Newark, NJ, I found myself delayed due to
weather and once I reached Newark, I had missed the last flight out to Ottawa. When my
husband and I traveled to New York City, we got caught in the great snow storm of 2006
and slept in both La Guardia and the Philadelphia airports. We arrived home two days
later than we should have. When booking your flight, if you can, book a mid-afternoon
flight so that you always have the option to jump on another plane if you miss yours.
3. Pack a good carry-on or just carry-on on
