Travel Tips from Airport Employees
Visiting new places is exciting and interesting. However, often preparing a trip is a troublesome and expensive process. Here are some tips on how to simplify and optimize your travel preparations while saving money.
1. Buy tickets and fly on Tuesday
An employee from the airline’s revenue accounting department, publishing his travel tips, said that the best time to buy a ticket is in the afternoon on Tuesday. According to him, it is also profitable to make flights on Tuesday, and also on Wednesday and Saturday. This applies to flights to the United States.
2. Do not waste time locking the suitcase
As it turns out, it is completely useless. One of the users on the Internet spoke about his experience at the airport. It turns out that he had to open such locks hundreds of times to determine the contents of the suitcase. He did this procedure with the help of an ordinary pen: you just need to slide the tongue to the side and press down with a sharp object with a lightning, and then easily close the suitcase again.
3. Bring your headphones to the plane
Another employee admitted that the accessories issued on board, as a rule, are not new, although they are carefully packed. While working in a warehouse that supplied one airline, the employee realized that used accessories are cleaned after the flight, and then re-packaged. Hence, their use is not entirely safe from the point of view of personal hygiene.
4. Get rid of old marks on the suitcase
Some travel tips seem obvious, but as it turns out, they are still neglected by hundreds of people every day. As a result, their luggage is sent in the wrong direction. So, the airport employee recommended to get rid of irrelevant marks that confuse the conveyor belt operators.
5. Be polite with the airport staff
Perhaps this is a question of education, but it becomes especially relevant in talking about comfort during the flight. According to one of the participants of the discussion, the sphere of influence of flight attendants is much wider than passengers might think. Once you show due courtesy, they will be happy to find a worthy replacement for your dish from the first class menu or transplant to the best seat on the plane.
6. Put your pet's name on his bag
This is a tip for travelers traveling with pets. Flying often causes panic in four-legged passengers, and employees can only calm their pets by talking to them. It turns out that it helps a lot if at this moment they turn to the animal by name.
