As you embark on your summer travels, consider these insightful tips to enhance your experience:
-
Speed Up Your Boarding Process
Taking too long to stow your luggage can create tension with flight attendants. Remember, they are compensated for flight hours only, which means delays at the gate affect their earnings. Efficiently placing your bags will not only expedite the boarding process but also ensure a better rapport with the crew. Once in the air, you’ll find their assistance invaluable.
-
Address Hotel Complaints Effectively
If you encounter issues at your hotel, make a mental note of the staff member’s name you speak with. By incorporating their name in your follow-up conversation, you signal that you will be checking back to ensure your complaint is resolved. For example, you might say, “I’ll swing by later to check on this, okay, Lisa?” This personal touch encourages accountability.
-
Price Comparison with Direct Booking
When searching for flights or accommodations, use discount websites to gauge prices. However, it’s wise to contact the hotel or airline directly afterward to inquire if they can match the rate. This approach can be beneficial in case of cancellations or other issues, as companies often prioritize returning customers. Keep in mind, if you booked through a third-party site, you might not receive the same level of service.
-
Request a Whole Can of Soda
If you prefer a full can of soda rather than just a glass, particularly if you like Diet Coke, go ahead and ask. Interestingly, Diet Coke tends to take longer to pour at cruising altitude due to its carbonation, which might just work in your favor for getting a can instead of a cup.
