We have so many more tips for you, they keep coming.
















If you ever find yourself missing a flight and there is a big queue at the customer service desk the best thing to do is to get the phone out your pocket and call the customer service helpline and they will be able to help you a lot quicker than standing in the queue at the customer service desk for the airline, you will always find that people answer the phone quite quickly and if you contact  somebody in a call centre there'll be there waiting for you rather than the long queue with only one of two people serving.


If you're taking clothes on board that need ironing  a very good way of stopping them from being creased is to wrap them up in cling film this will stop them from crinkling up and will stay fresh for when you want to wear them, i would you advise you to take non iron clothes with you because it makes a lot easier to washing yourself and Hang em up then to have to get them ironed.


When you carry luggage with you, sometimes rather than paying the excess Duty it'll be better for you to send them in advance by DHL than on the plan, so there this in mind that you did send them for example for $40 but the airline will charge you $100 and you don't have to carry them and I'll be at your destination waiting for you.


Whenever you in the security line always try to be behind a business traveler than a family with kids because the business traveller wants to get through as quickly as possible and he's been through it many times so if you're following him you will go through just as quick as he did, if you're stuck behind a family with kids then you could end up being a lot longer.


Always ask for hotel staff where the local restaurants and attractions are the best deals as they will tell you where to go because they live in the area  if you go to the tourist places you will  end up paying a lot more so don't be afraid to ask the staff and they will give you all the tips and tricks you need to know for the local area that you're in.


If you're going on a cruise or boat and you are acceptable to sickness then a good thing to try and do is taking dried ginger root available From health stores and if  you read the label it will tell you how much you need to take, this is a very good supplement to take to combat seasickness.


Haggle not many people like the haggle they just pay up what they're told to but always always haggle and walk away and they will come down in price contact local people and they will tell you roughly how much you need to have a haggle by, sometimes they will be 80% cheaper than what they're saying, so always haggle,  just saying no just say no just say no and walk away and then they will probably come out with the cheapest offer.


When looking for holidays and flights it is best to look at aroundabout three months before you leave because that is the time when they become the cheapest, look out for mid week flights to destinations because they will always be cheaper than weekends.

Well I hope you have found all these tips and tricks useful and again if you have any that we can use contact us and we'll put it up here and share it with the world.

Travelling tips yes we have a lot more,10, lose it, seat, towel and roads.





Can you afford to lose It.


A good rule that I always use is never pack anything expensive, the golden rule is if you can't afford to lose it either financially or emotionally don't pack it, don't put it in your bag the last thing you want to worry about is the cost of an item when you lose it. Your item goes out of your site for quite a long time so it's always handy to know that there is not very much in there that you can lose.

Another handy items to pack in your hand luggage is a towel as you can use that as a pillow and if you booked a window seat you can rest it against the window to give yourself a bit more of a comfy sleep.

If you're on international long haul flights it's always good to book a window seat but bear in mind you have a strong bladder because you don't want to be getting up and down up and down up and down to go to the loo but if you can hold on to it for quite a while get a  Window seat and give yourself a nice comfy sleep.

Find out how many are flying.


Is always good to find out if the flight is fully booked because if there are example 20 people less on a flight you can have them block you 4 seats in a row so then you can lay out of four seats and have a sleep, so always ask when you check in is the flight fully booked yes or no And how many less people are flying.


On the road.


When overseas always always always look both ways on the road look left right left right left because There are loads of my drivers over there and they drive on the opposite side of the road to what he used to, you'll always find that people overseas never seem to follow the Highway Code so don't take it for granted that they going to stop or slow down for you because they will not.

If you're driving overseas there's always seems to be new rules or regulations coming out and they can be some costly fines if you do not follow them, so I always find out the local laws for road use and what you need to carry with you and what stickers do you need to stick on your car, you will be pulled over by the police and they can charge you hundreds and hundreds of dollars in Fines

There are things like warning triangles, first aid kits, breathalysers all need to be carried when you go to France for example, Many people fall foul to these laws and the local police know that foreigners will probably not have what is required and so they are easy targets, so don't be one of them be one step ahead of them. Find out what you need to buy in your home country and then you've got everything. You will be very surprised what is required to carry with you in the car in various countries around the world, if you hire a car then make sure that the hired car has everything that is required to comply with the local laws.

Travelling tips to Save the Day number 6, Clothes, SIM cards, flights.


Send documents to email.



I keep saying it and I will keep saying it because is the best tip ever always always always takes pictures of your documents and send them to yourself by email so you got a copy on your email server so if you lose everything you still got a copies of everything on your email so don't just take a photograph but email it to yourself and stored it in your folder so that you know you've got copies of everything.


Cheap clothing full stop



I have found over the years that one of the best things to do is to take on holiday all your old clothes so then once you've used them you they can be given away or binned but if you lose a suitcase then you haven't got to worry because all that was in there was all your cheap and old clothing, The same thing goes to your suitcase buy a cheap suitcase because then people will know that a cheap suitcase will normally have cheap stuff in it and it's not worth stealing, if your bag gets lost somehow you can say to yourself let's just get on with it and buy some new stuff because it was all cheap stuff. I found it easy to take my old clothes using once or twice then given them away and go out and buy some new cheap stuff and it works really well I never have to worry about losing anything because it was only cheap old stuff.


Mobile phones and SIM cards full stop



I always find that when you go to another country it's worth it to buy a local sim card pay as you go I'll pop it into your phone this way if you wish to make any calls it's going to be at the local rate which can be sometimes a lot cheaper than using your own, you can also give your friends and family at home your new temporary number rather than you running up a large roaming bill,I also found it easy to take a cheap throw away phone if you like and use that while you on holiday and keep your good iPhone or whatever locked up in the hotel, we all know that phones are one of the most popular items for getting stolen or lost so a cheap pay-as-you-go phone with a cheap SIM card works really well while on holiday. It'll be one less worry for you to worry about it something should happen to it. Also make sure that your holiday insurance covers you for your expensive phones and if it does get stolen make sure you get a police crime number from the local police so that you can report it to your insurance when you get home.


Late and early flights.


I found one thing when I was booking flights that there was always a flight that was too early in the morning of too late at night, When booking your flight look very carefully at the departure times and how far they are away from your hotel, you do not want to be getting up at 1 a.m. in the morning to get to a flight at 5 a.m. and an hour or two driving from the hotel so when you look at your flight times trying to Book flights  to give you plenty of time and none of these ridiculous hours, When you're in a third world country, again, The infrastructure can be unreliable so you don't want to be catching a 5 a.m. flight and not getting to the airport it's best to get a 5 p.m. flight and you got all day to get there. Its all things that people don't consider because they just want to book a flight to a destination and enjoy the holiday but at the time things can go wrong and then you wish you had so now I'm telling you to look at your flight times and how far they are from the hotel and what the infrastructure is like in that country, don't catch any early morning flights if possible.
