Don’t rush getting on and off the plane. How many times does everyone jump up as the plane gets to the gate, only to wait in line for 30 minutes or more before the door actually opens.
If you’re on the red-eye or dealing with time-zone changes, consider handling the time change on the plane versus on the ground when you need to be productive. That may mean sleeping right away or forcing yourself to stay awake, whatever the time change requires.
Using Skype when traveling abroad can be handy. The program allows you to connect to various Wi-Fi hot spots without signing up and paying the typical hot-spot fee. Instead you pay a few cents per minute to Skype and you can upload and download e-mails quickly. Wireless modems are great, too. In the United States, AT&T iPhone can serve as a mobile hot spot. People with Verizon use a Mifi, which lets up to five devices go wireless in hotels or on trains and taxis. If you require your staff to be on Skype throughout the day, you’ll be amazed at how effective you can be, connecting with people instantaneously, even when you are in remote locations.
If you’re late to the airport and the check-in agent says that you’ve missed the 30-minute cut-off, don’t bother yelling. Instead, ask for a gate pass (the agents will usually give that to you) and if you can get to the gate within 15 minutes of take-off, the gate person will often get you on the flight. Of course, check in before you get to the airport, so that you already have your boarding pass.
Book your tickets and hotels with a travel agent. Their expertise can save you a lot of time and money.
