Here are some savvy insights to enhance your travel experience, backed by insider knowledge:
Avoid Delays During Boarding to Keep the Crew Happy
Flight attendants are compensated based on the hours the plane is in the air, so every minute spent at the gate is costing them. If you’re slow to stow your luggage, you’re not only causing delays but also affecting their paycheck. Remember, once the flight is in the air, you’ll want to maintain a good rapport with the crew.
Need Your Hotel Issue Resolved? Use Names Strategically
If you encounter a problem with your hotel room, make sure to remember the name of the front desk attendant or anyone you speak with. When you follow up, using their name—like “I’ll check back later, right, Alex?”—creates accountability and highlights that you’re serious about having your concerns addressed.
Use Discount Sites, but Book Directly for Better Deals
When searching for flights or hotel accommodations, start with discount websites to find the best rates. However, once you’ve identified a good price, reach out to the hotel or airline directly to see if they can match it. This tactic is especially useful if there’s a problem with your booking, as direct customers often receive priority. Booking through discount sites can sometimes mean less loyalty in their eyes.
Want a Full Can of Soda on Your Flight? Ask for Diet Coke
Interestingly, Diet Coke is notorious for taking longer to pour at cruising altitude. If you’re craving a whole can, your chances of getting one increase significantly if you ask for Diet Coke, even though it’s technically against the rules.
