How to Make Plane Flight Travel Be Less Stressful

By Nick Espensen


The average person will travel at least once in their life. You can gain a lot by learning about travel, even if you are not well traveled or have been traveling for years. This article will give you the pertinent knowledge you need for traveling.

Always pack bottled water when going overseas. Drinking water in foreign countries is usually not purified and can make you very ill. Bottled water is important even for tooth brushing purposes. You can also become ill from tap water.

Make sure your children all carry identification when traveling. Change for a phone call should always be carried. Each parent should have a paper with each child's photograph, height and weight, and any other identifying information like moles or scars.

Inform your children what airport security is all about. You should get children ready for all the things they have to go through when they are at the airport. Keep adults at the front and back of your group when going through security checks, so children always have a calming presence close at hand. Children can be reassured about the screening process if they can watch an adult go through it first.

Try to get a hotel room on one of the upper floors. It might seem like no big deal, but thieves have an easier time breaking into rooms on the ground floor. If you can, request a hotel room that has only windows and no sliding glass doors. Rooms with sliding doors are an easy target.

Always tip the housekeeper and bell station. Tipping the bellhop around $1 per bag and the housekeeping staff around $2 to $5 per day is certainly not excessive. Tipping ensures good service and is sure to make your interactions with hotel staff more pleasurable.

Get yourself a National Parks Pass if you think you will be visiting often. It costs $50 and can be used at any national park for 12 months.

In conclusion, many people travel sometime during their lives. This is the reason you can be better prepared, by using this information for any travel situations that you may come across. Keep the advice you learned from this article in mind when it comes time for you to travel.
