Now that you’ve got a few insider secrets up your sleeve, here’s some advice to enhance your travel experience:
Don’t Drag Your Feet During Boarding – It Could Cost You
Flight attendants are only paid for the time the plane is in the air, so when you take ages stowing your luggage, you’re not just delaying the flight—you’re also impacting their earnings. Remember, once you’re in the air, you’ll need their assistance much more than they need yours.
Need Help at Your Hotel? Use Their Names
If you encounter a problem with your hotel accommodations, make sure to catch the name of the front desk staff or the person you’re speaking with. When you follow up, casually use their name in conversation, like, “I’ll check back later, right, Alex?” This shows them you’re attentive and expecting a resolution, making it more likely they’ll prioritize your request.
Search for Deals Online, But Book Directly
When looking for flights or hotel rates, start with discount websites to find the best price. However, once you have that number, reach out to the provider directly to see if they can match it. This is particularly useful if your flight gets canceled or if you need to change hotel reservations. Hotels often favor returning customers, and they might give you a better deal if they know you’re willing to book direct. And let’s be real—those who book through third-party sites are often the first to get bumped during overbookings.
Want a Full Can of Soda? Ask for Diet Coke
If you prefer a whole can of soda instead of just a cup, it’s wise to request Diet Coke. This particular drink is notorious for taking longer to pour due to its fizz, which means flight attendants may be more likely to grant your request. Just remember, it’s a bit against the rules, but it’s worth a shot!
