<\/figure>Regular business travellers & frequent flyers know how\nto play the game.<\/p>
They pick their favourite airline, sign up for an airline\u2019s\nfrequent flyer program and always book with that airline if possible, even if\nit\u2019s not always the cheapest fare.<\/p>
They commit to getting premier status and make the most of\ntheir significant perks.<\/p>
They also use credit cards which offer rewards with that particular\nairline. Many of these cards provide airport lounge access, free checked bags,\nand other convenient features.<\/p>
2.They Never Check-in At The Airport<\/p> Only rookies do this and there\u2019s no upside to it, which is\nwhy they always check-in online.<\/p> You should check in and claim your seat online as soon as it\nbecomes available. This also protects you from getting bumped on an overbooked\nflight.<\/p> 3.They Always Pack Smartly<\/p> Frequent flyers always pack what is necessary for their\njourney. They prepare a checklist of the things they would need for their trip\nand make sure they pack only the essentials.<\/p> Also, they never keep their essential items in their\ncheck-in bags.<\/p> Keys, Money, Jewellery, Electronics, Medication, you only\nneed to lose a checked bag once to learn this the hard way. If you can\u2019t go a\nday without it, or if it\u2019s a sentimental item and irreplaceable, make sure it\ndoesn\u2019t get checked-in.<\/p> 4.They Breeze Through Security<\/p> You don\u2019t see experienced air travellers struggling with\nbelts, coins and keys when they go through security.<\/p> Instead, they put all their fiddly belongings, including\ncell phones, wallets and jewellery inside a carry-on bag, purse or jacket until\nthey\u2019ve passed through security.<\/p> 5.They Board The Airplane As Soon As They Can<\/p> If you leave board to the last minute on a busy fight, there\nmight not be room for your bag in the overhead luggage cabin.<\/p> This means your bag\u2019s going to sit at your feet for the\nduration of the flight. Why take that chance?<\/p> Also experienced flyers always choose the aisle seat. You\ndon\u2019t have to hop over anyone to use the restroom and you can stretch out your\nlegs in the aisle to get a good sleep.<\/p> 6.They Travel With Lifesaver Items<\/p> What are lifesaver items? <\/p> A water bottle, a snack bar, sleep mask and earplugs, a\nuniversal adapter, battery pack and compression socks for flights longer than\nfive hours.<\/p> If you\u2019re flying long-haul, hydration is very important. Between\n30-64% air humidity is what\u2019s recommended for comfort, but airplanes can be\nbeneath 10%.<\/p> This can cause natural moisture in your skin and body to evaporates.<\/p> 7.They Know How To Get Rid Of Jet-Lag<\/p> This is a biggie because jet lag is a productivity killer.<\/p> Some people swear by not eating on the plane and then\nadjusting to a new time zone by feasting at the next mealtime once they land.<\/p> Others go for a jog immediately after they land and reach\ntheir airport hotel, but most are too tired to this after a long flight.<\/p> And then there\u2019s the folks for whom a stiff drink and some\nchewable melatonin hits the reset button.<\/p> The key is to find out what works for you!<\/p> *Experienced Travellers also use travel management apps like AirWhizz.
