The holidays and holiday travel season is upon us. This short post is a request for the community to share any great travel tips they have for less stressful travel. One of the podcasts series I listen to is ManagerTools. One of their casts discussed great travel tips. I’ve adapted a couple of their ideas and added some of my own. Full disclaimer. I used to try to surf the web and get the best deal on different aggregator websites. I’m now a BIG believer in using a travel agent. it just took one flight cancellation out of Portland OR coming back to the East Coast for me to be a believer. If you want a recommendation, I can certainly give a ringing endorsement to my travel agent, Janine.
Here are three tips I have learned:
1-Choose a primary airline. Base your decision on where you fly most frequently and whether the airline has a hub near you.
2-Get and use a travel agent-see above.
3-Enroll in a Frequent Flyer program. Look especially at those programs that allow you to double dip and use your points for things other than simply flight miles-gives you many more options.
Now what are yours? Please comment below.
All the best,
Chris
