A common complaint of frequent travelers who plan their trips well in advance with the purchase of cheap airplane tickets and discount hotel rooms or discount travel packages, is the down time, often wasted time, travelers experience.
Travelers can be more productive by:
Packing only what is strictly needed. This saves time packing, unpacking and finding the things you need while on the road.
Create a list of all gadgets that use power which you travel with and make certain to charge everything the night prior to your departure. Charge them again in your hotel room immediately before returning home. Make certain to pack charging cords in your carry-on.
Make a point of learning as many benefits of your smartphone, laptop and tablet as possible. Apps and software often increase productivity and help find places to eat, provide directions, or enable check-ins for flights.
Stay ahead of travel problems and reduce anxiety by leaving earlier than necessary for flights and meetings.
Put your itinerary in your cellphone so that you have easy access to confirmation numbers for flights, hotels, and car rentals.
Keep your receipts in a single location, such as a compartment of your briefcase or an envelope. The last thing you want to do is waste time later searching for receipts to be able to complete an expense report.
Prior to arriving at your destination search the Internet or call your hotel concierge to determine the best routes to your meetings, entertainment venues and close by restaurants. Also figure out whether it is wiser to drive, use public transportation, or walk.
Use your mobile phones camera to record pictures of items you want to buy or check prices for online and restaurants you want to visit. By taking a picture of your hotel room number you wont have to stop at the front desk later to ask. Taking a picture of your car rental and its license plate makes it easier to find later.
