Getting There With Your Pet

While on vacation, most people arrange for their pets to stay at home and have friend or family member take care of the animal. Others, who do not have this option, take to alternatives such as a boarding kennel or a professional pet sitter. There are several things that you must take into consideration before heading out of town!

Take out some time to think about whether your pet is physically capable of traveling. If you are not sure, ask the veterinarian. Let your veterinarian know where you’re going and for how long and how you’ll be traveling. This will help prevent health risks like flea, heartworm, or tick risks for places you will be traveling. Also, it’s important to ensure that all vaccinations are updated, besides obtaining current health and rabies certificates not earlier than ten days prior to your date of travel. You’ll need this in case your pet is flying.

If it’s the first time that you’re traveling with your pet, it’s worthwhile to take a short test trip. This will help you know if your pet gets carsick or restless while traveling, and obtain proper medications from your veterinarian. Also, when traveling make sure that you have your pets’ favorite toys, food and leash with you. This way, the pet will feel more comfortable at the new destination. Make sure that you use your leash when taking the pet outside, as the pets can sometimes get nervous in a new place and try to run.

While at your destination, your pet should always sport a special identification tag apart from the normal one. Be sure to mark this tag with the pet's name, your name, the person to make contact with at the destination, the person’s phone number, and a destination address. This will help you get in touch with the pet in case it’s separated. A foolproof way is to have the pet micro-chipped. Animal clinics, humane societies, kennels, and shelters all over use scanners that can read the implanted chips. This will help you reunite with your lost pet. Here’s good news! Microchip procedures are harmless, fast and inexpensive.

Don’t forget to notify the airline, bus, or train company if a Seeing Eye dog is accompanying you. This is because dogs other than Seeing Eye dogs accompanying blind persons are not allowed on buses and trains.

If you’re traveling by air, make sure that you’ve made all reservations and arrangements regarding delivery and pickup from the airport upfront. Rules vary from airline to airline. Follow airline instructions and check the airline's requirements for carrying pets. If you’re taking along smaller pets like birds, hamsters and tropical fish, consider transporting them by air express. You can obtain shipping containers from airline freight departments, pet stores and department stores as well. If you’re carrying tropical fish, have it packed by a local specialist pet shop.

Again, it’s important to make your pet comfortable with the new environment. If you’re obtaining a shipping container, have it a few days in advance so that you have time to get your pet familiar with the container. Start with placing your pet in the container for a few minutes each day and steadily stretch the time until the pet is at ease.

When traveling by air, feed your pet at least five to six hours before flight time, and give water two hours before flight. This will prevent hunger or thirst during the trip. Also, get the pet to the air terminal on time. You should get there 45 minutes in advance of your flight time if the pet is accompanying you, and two hours in advance if you’re shipping the pet. Upon arrival, you can usually pick your pet within 90 minutes from the destination airport. Don’t lose your air waybill number as it is required when making inquires.

It’s a difference experience altogether when your darling pet is at your side while on vacation. After all, for those who are passionate about their pets, getting there with the animal is half the fun!

Super Slimming Tips While on Vacation

We all know the feeling- saving up all year for our dream trips. You've been really good about keeping fit and eating less; you look in great shape for the beach. Then you arrive and it all goes out of the window. You spend your entire holiday eating lavish, high calorie meals and lying poolside while last night's cocktails take up residence around your waist. Studies show that this type of "binge" behavior has a long-lasting effect on your health, and even your emotional wellbeing. You may come back from such a trip feeling extremely depressed, and longing to leave for those vacation shores once again. To some degree, post-vacation blues are normal, but it can be a drastic and dreadful feeling if multiplied by the effects of unhealthy eating. Nutritionists say that most of us will add two pounds for each trip and will likely not shift the weight once it's there.

The rules of staying in shape- eating right, drinking plenty of water, and keeping a good exercise routine- apply as equally here as abroad. The key is in knowing which rules you can bend temporarily without significant consequences. TripMama is here to give you the information you need to keep that holiday-high long after you return.

Alcoholic drinks are a regular staple on many holiday trips, but they are also a source of a lot of calories. Cocktails are the biggest culprit; many of them contain cream or other high-sugar mixers. Try choosing cocktails with diet mixers, or opt for a decent glass of wine instead. A great way of keeping the calories down is to drink lots of water with any alcoholic beverage. It keeps your appetite down and has the added bonus of staying hydrated, a tried and tested way of keeping hangovers at bay.

When eating out, you'll often be given appetizers. Try to sample everything tasty, but eat little. Simple tricks like keeping sauces separate and only using what you need to enjoy the meal, going for the grilled meat instead of fried, or trying the local fruit or sorbets instead of heavy, rich desserts can all keep away those extra pounds. Share items with other travelers in your party so that you can taste everything, but eat smaller portions.

The biggest thing contributing to the post-holiday crash is the sudden lack of exercise. Many people find it difficult to resume their exercise program, adding to their dejection. Ironically, it is often the return home that is blamed for the depression, rather than the lax vacation, which is usually claimed to have made them feel great. You don't need to keep up with all of your fitness goals and plans. A lighter regime can still keep you trim and full of energy, and is a great way to feel good about trying all the delicious food on offer. Most people do less exercise while away, but it is a perfect opportunity to try and do more. Hike up to all those amazing views, making them that much more rewarding. There are deep, blue seas for swimming, skiing, rafting, climbing, cycling; the list goes on and on. Hotels often have a fitness area or a pool, giving you the opportunity to start the morning with a healthy burst that keeps you energized all day.

With these tips you should feel confident and positive about enjoying your holiday, and come back looking as great as you left. So look at our trip offers at http://makeup-health-beauty.blogspot.com to keep you in high spirits as well.

Andorra Ski Holidays Set To Fly

Substantially more holidaymakers flying into a new airport close to an established tourist destination will normally mean a boost in tourism - but when the established airport is nearly three hours away and the new one fifteen minutes it's almost bound to see a higher than normal increase in tourism.

And that's exactly what is happening to Andorra, the tiny tax haven set in the European Pyrenees, and home to some of the best ski runs in Europe.

Up to now a drawback that Andorra has had is the distance from a major airport, two and a half hours drive to Barcelona in Spain or Toulouse in France, with some ski holidays starting with a night in one of the Barcelona hotels before setting off for Andorra.

But that is set to change with agreement for an aiport to be built just fifteen minutes drive from the Spanish / Andorra border.

As well as the extra ski tourists the new airport will impact Andorra as a tax haven. Andorra and the more famous Monaco are Europe's leading tax havens, with residents enjoying the benefit of no income tax. Property prices in Andorra are less than a third of the price of Monaco's.

Commenting on the new airport, one Andorra estate agent who specialises in Andorra property for sale thinks that the prices of Andorra properties will rise.

'At the moment Monaco has the advantage of being ten minutes away from an international airport by helicopter, while Andorra is over two hours. With that advantage gone we anticipate more people considering a tax haven will consider Andorra, with a resulting appreciation in real estate prices.'

Property in Andorra has risen an average of ten per cent a year in recent years, with three streams of buyers - the local market, buyers for ski holiday homes who are often on a Crystal Ski holiday and like Andorra enough to buy a holiday home, plus those looking for a tax haven.

The airport is to be located in Seu d'Urgell, and the first flights are anticipated to be in 2010 or 2011, with a runway of 4,500 feet - not long enough for some medium range aircraft, and it is likely that most commercial airlines using the airport will be 60 to 80 seaters, plus private jets much favoured by the wealthy who might now consider Andorra as a viable tax haven.

As well as being welcomed by the property business in Andorra, a new airport has been greeted enthusiastically by the skiing industry.

The country has upgraded facilities in recent years, and often competes as a top ski destination in Europe, with well known ski companies like Crystal Ski operating holidays for the British market.

In the last decade the number of tourists for the Andorra ski holiday season has topped ten million visitors a year, and the ski industry is an important part of the country's economy, with the government investing in new infrastructure to help tempt visitors back for skiing for repeat visits.

However last year was the worst season for decades as the snow, which normally falls from end October, didn't arrive until mid March, and the first drop in the number of ski holidays in Andorra being sold by British and other European travel agents dropped from the previous ski season for some years.

The new airport cutting travelling time from the UK, one of the Andorra ski holiday's main markets, could boost the occupancy levels of hotels in Andorra significantly.

'When people are considering a ski holiday in Andorra', comment one travel guide, 'At the moment to reach Soldeu, one of Andorra top ski villages, it's two and a half hours from Barcelona to the capital la Vella, and then another twenty minutes on top of that - nearly a three hour trip after a flight. Cutting down resort arrival time from three to one hour will be enough to influence some people's decision on where to visit.'

Recent investment by the government has reached several million Euros designed to keep the country in line with other European winter destinations, and intended to make Andorra a natural choice for the ski and snowboard fraternity, the addition of an airport close to her border could help ensure that.

2011 can't come soon enough for Andorra and the ski resort of Arinsal.

How to Get a Cheap Flight

If you can afford to spend a little time searching, you can save money and get the flight you want and save money. With the Internet, it is easy to comparison shop and get the best deal for your dream vacation. The more you save on airfare, the more you can spend on your vacation.

Start out by going to the big airline shops online. Check prices on Travelocity, Expedia and Orbitz. This is your starting point. You may wind up booking with one of these sites, but for now, just use them to get a baseline price.

Next, check prices at some of the smaller sites – Cheaptickets, Farecompare, and airfare. Again, these are sites to get a rough idea on prices. You can also visit your favorite airline and see if they have any specials.

Once you have determined price, airline, and arrival time (more important than departure time), it is time to find a local travel agent or bucket shop.

Armed with the information you found online, you can now ask specifically for the flight you want and know what price your local agent has to beat. You can bargain with them – and let them know what the online prices are (if they are lower).

Plan far enough ahead and if you find a great deal, reserve it and tell your travel agent to call if the price drops. Prices can vary by the day or even the hour. Be persistent.

Here are some more tips to help you save money.

Be very flexible in your travel plans in order to get the lowest fare. The best deals may be limited to travel on certain days of the week or particular hours of the day. After you get a fare quote, ask the reservations agent if you could save even more by leaving a day earlier or later, or by taking a different flight on the same day. Check other agents – not all agents have access to all airlines.

Be smart - plan as far ahead as you can. Some airlines set aside only a few seats on each flight at the lower rates. The real bargains often sell out very quickly. On the other hand, air carriers sometimes make more discount seats available later. If you had decided against a trip because the discount fare you wanted was not available on the desired date, try again, especially just before the advance-purchase deadline.

Some airlines may have discounts that others don't offer. In a large metropolitan area, the fare could depend on which airport you use. Also, a connection (change of planes) or a one-stop flight is sometimes cheaper than a nonstop.

Does the air fare include types of service that airlines have traditionally provided, such as meals or free baggage handling? If you have a connection involving two airlines, will your bags be transferred? Can you get advance seat assignments? If you are stranded, will the ticket be good on another carrier at no extra charge? Will the first airline pay for meals or hotel rooms during the wait?

Keep in mind that many discount fares are non-refundable; if you buy one of these fares and later cancel your trip, you will not get your money back. Some fares also have a penalty for changing flights or dates even if you don't want a refund. You may also have to pay any difference in air fares if your fare is not available on the new flight.

Some airlines will not increase the fare after the ticket is issued and paid for. (Simply holding a reservation without a ticket does not guarantee the fare.) Other airlines may reserve the right to collect more money from you if the fare that you had purchased goes up before departure time. Find out from the airline before you buy your ticket what its policy is on assessing fare increases after the ticket is purchased.

After you buy your ticket, call the airline or travel agent once or twice before departure to check the fare. Fares change all the time, and if that same fare goes down before you fly, some airlines will refund the difference. But you have to ask. Try to establish a rapport with the agent – this will pay off for future flights.

Differences in air fares can be substantial. Careful comparison shopping among airlines does take time, but it can lead to real savings. Be patient, start early, do your homework, and save money.

Airline Reservations and Ticketing Tips

* If your travel plans fall during a busy period, call for reservations early. Flights for holidays may sell out weeks - sometimes months - ahead of time. Don't buy a standby fare or an 'open return' ticket if you need to fly during a high-demand period. You could be stranded for a week or more before a seat becomes available.

* Ask the reservations agent to give you the on-time performance code for any flights that you are considering. This is a one-digit code in the reservations computer that shows how often that flight arrived on time (within 15 minutes) during the most recent reported month. For example, an "8" means that flight arrived within 15 minutes of the scheduled arrival time between 80% and 89.9% of the time. If you are deciding between two flights with similar schedules and fares, you may want to choose the one with the better on-time record. (Only the largest U.S. airlines are required to maintain these codes.)

* When you make a reservation, be sure the agent records the information accurately. Before you hang up or leave the ticket office, review all of the essential information with the agent - the spelling of your name, the flight numbers and travel dates, and the cities you are traveling between. If there is more than one airport at either city, be sure you check which one you'll be using. It's also important to give the airline your home and work telephone numbers so they can let you know if there is any change in their schedule.

* Your ticket will show the flight number, departure time, date, and status of your reservation for each flight of your itinerary. The "status" box is important. "OK" means you're confirmed. Anything else means that the reservation is not yet certain (e.g., waitlisted).

* A "direct" (or "through") flight can have one or more stops. Sometimes flights with only one flight number can even involve a change of planes. Ask about your exact routing.

* If you are flying to a small city and your flight number has four digits, you may be booked on a commuter airline that has an agreement with the major carrier in whose name the flight is held out. If you are unsure, ask the reservation agent about the airline and the aircraft type; these flights are identified in the computer.

* When a reservation agent asks you to buy your tickets by a specific time or date, this is a deadline. And if you don't make the deadline, the airline may cancel your reservation without telling you.
* Try to have your tickets in hand before you go to the airport. This speeds your check-in and helps you avoid some of the tension you might otherwise feel if you had to wait in a slow-moving ticketing line and worry about missing your flight. Using an e-ticket speeds up the process also.

* If your reservations are booked far enough ahead of time, the airline may offer to mail your tickets to you. However, if you don't receive the tickets and the airline's records show that they mailed them, you may have to go through cumbersome lost-ticket procedures (see the end of this chapter). It is safer to check the telephone directory for a conveniently located travel agency or airline ticket office and buy your tickets there.

* As soon as you receive your ticket check to make sure all the information on it is correct, especially the airports (if any of the cities have more than one) and the flight dates. Have any necessary corrections made immediately.

* Bring a photo I.D. when you fly, and have your airline ticket issued using your name as it appears on that I.D. Many airlines are requesting such identification at check-in in order to reduce the re- selling of discount tickets. (Airlines don't permit tickets to be sold or given to other persons.) On international flights, make sure your name is the same on your ticket and your passport. If your name has recently changed and the name on your ticket and your I.D. are different, bring documentation of the change (e.g., a marriage certificate or court order).

* It's a good idea to reconfirm your reservations before you start your trip; flight schedules sometimes change. On international trips, most airlines require that you reconfirm your onward or return reservations at least 72 hours before each flight. If you don't, your reservations may be canceled.

* Check your ticket as you board each flight to ensure that only the correct coupon has been removed by the airline agent.

What Do You Do During an Overseas Layover?

I am a regular traveler from Hawaii to different countries in Asia with the majority of my trips going to Thailand. From Hawaii, there are no direct, non-stop flights to Bangkok, Thailand. I either have to go through Japan, Korea or Taiwan.

I have never booked the flight on Korean Air through Seoul because the flight times and cost are worst and the highest. I have flown through Narita Airport in Tokyo and Kansai Airport in Osaka but my preferred flight is on China Airlines via Taipei.

Prices on Japan Air and China Air are close but China usually wins out. Northwest Airlines and United also fly to Bangkok via Narita, but, I prefer to travel on Asian airlines over U.S. carriers.

The primary reason I choose China Airlines is the arrival time. All the airlines I mentioned above arrive in Bangkok right around midnight which gets me to a hotel at two or three in the morning. China Air has flights two days per week that arrive at about 4 PM and it is so much better to arrive during the day.

Let’s get back to the layovers and what to do while you are waiting. For the layover I have in Taipei, there is not much time to do anything since the layover is only about one hour. About all I have time for is a cigarette or two and then it is time to board the plane. I have no problem with this and actually prefer the short time between flights.

I have had to experience longer layovers while traveling to Bangkok flying on Japan Airlines and stopping at either Narita or Kansai. Layovers on the Bangkok flights can run four to six hours and this is longer than it takes to get from Japan to Thailand. So, what to do?

If you have your laptop, you can use the Narita airport’s internet wireless connection. It isn’t free but it only cost about 10 U.S. dollars for 24 hour access. Speed was good and it helped me kill some time chatting and checking email.

If you have enough miles and qualify to use the airline lounges you will have a very pleasant stay. These lounges in Asia cater to the businessman and have everything you need. There is TV, free internet access, food and drink (including adult beverages), newspapers and very comfortable seating. You can even sleep and tell the hostess what time to wake you up. Don’t worry. They will not forget to wake you on time. Some lounges even have shower facilities.

If you don’t qualify for the lounge, you can spend some or most of your time shopping. There are numerous duty free shops where you can get alcohol, perfume, cigarettes and some expensive brand name articles at a tax-free discount. Just make sure you can bring the liquids on your follow-on flights. I bought a bottle of vodka in Japan and had no problem bringing it to Bangkok. I forgot about the 45-minute in-country to Khon Kaen the next day and security wouldn’t let me bring it in my carry-on. They were nice enough to retrieve my luggage so that I could put it in stowed baggage. Fortunately, it did not break.

You can also sample some of the local cuisine at the airport, but be prepared to spend a bit of money. Restaurants and snack bars in Kansai and Narita can be very expensive even if you just want a hot dog and a cola. Don’t worry about having Yen as they will take U.S. dollars but you may get your change back in Japanese currency.

You can shop at some of the little shops throughout the airport and get some gifts at relatively decent prices. Small boxes of candy or snacks can be purchased for under $10. Small knick-knacks are also available.

Most of these small shops also carry a wide assortment of snacks and drinks. I don’t recommend drinking any alcohol but I highly recommend you keep hydrated and get some bottled water. You can get it at the shops or in the numerous vending machines (but you need Yen for the machines). My favorite bottled water is called Pocari Sweat. I buy it just because of the name.

Killing four to six hours at an airport can be extremely painful but you can wile away the hours on your laptop, shopping or eating. Maybe the best thing to do is diligently search for flights that have the shortest layover time. An additional six hours and a midnight arrival time can get your holiday off to a very tiring start.

Sad And Jet Lag Can Be Treated With Natural Light

Jet lag and seasonal affective disorder (SAD) are very common conditions and thousands of people suffer from them every year. You will be relieved to learn that an anti jet lag diet is hardly necessary, neither do you have to take massive doses of melatonin or sleeping pills. If you are a person who suffers from a seasonal disorder, you will be happy to know that by using sad light box or lamp, you can resolve this problem without taking medication.

What role can a sad light box play in preventing jet lag or helping you to overcome SAD? Seasonal affective disorder is a type of depression that tends to occur (and recur) as the days grow shorter in the fall and winter. It is interesting to note that when there is snow on the ground, this condition is less common and the reason is because of the light!

Genetics or age could well be a factor in whether a person is likely to suffer from SAD although researchers are not at all sure about this. Sufferers are recommended to start the light therapy as soon as the first symptoms appear (usually in the fall). It has been established that the time of day you have the therapy is not a factor in the effectiveness of this cure.

Sunlight and natural light are essential to our natural biological rhythms. Once there is a change in these rhythms, then our bodies have difficulty in adjusting. Shorter days and long haul flights upset our natural clocks. Table-lamps are ideal at twilight when the light begins to fade.

If your doctor suggests you try light therapy, you may use a specially made light box, or a light visor that you wear on your head like a cap. Generally, light therapy takes about 30 minutes each day throughout the fall and winter, when you're most likely to be depressed. If light therapy helps you, you'll continue using it until enough sunlight is available, typically in the springtime.

How many times has a holiday or a business appointment been ruined by jet lag ? It can last for days after arrival. Every time we cross a few time zones quickly, then we are likely to suffer from this condition. It can have negative effects on your judgement in a business deal and can also make you feel even more depressed when you are trying to get used to your normal routine, once back at home.

When travelling across a number of time zones, the body clock will be out of sync with the destination time, as it experiences daylight and darkness contrary to the rhythms to which it has grown accustomed. In jet lag, the body's natural pattern is upset, as the rhythms that dictate times for eating, sleeping, hormone levels and the body temperature rhythm no longer correspond to the norm.

A few people I know take sleeping pills hoping that this will solve their problem. This may be dangerous as if you are immobile for a long time, you might get a fatal blood clot. Other people take melatonin which can be effective. There are sites which recommend anti-jet lag diets! The best solution is to buy a sad light box and bask in its light. It will work wonders for your SAD condition and help you to recover from jet lag.

5 Romantic Travel Resolutions

A new year always means a chance for a new start. You and yours can begin this New Year by making some travel resolutions together, regardless of your time and budget restraints. Put aside those old travel habits and make some new ones! Let this be the year that your travel plans focus on fun, fantasy, and festivities!
(1) We're going to plan a real vacation. No, it doesn't have to be an around the world cruise or first class getaway (but if you can afford it, what are you waiting for?) It does have to be an honest-to-goodness vacation, though. No cell phones, no laptops. Mark the dates on the calendar and keep it just like you'd keep any business appointment. The business of romantic travel, though, is a fun one and an activity that the two of you can plan for months.
(2) We're going to involve each other in the trip planning. All too often, one partner gets the job for planning a trip...and that task quickly becomes a bore. Plan your trips together! Anticipation is half the fun. Visit a travel agent. Collect brochures. Buy a guidebook. Rent a video about your destination. Search the internet for information.
(3) We're going to do something we've never done. Here you can be as mild -- or as wild -- as you dare. Go whitewater rafting. Rent a houseboat. Take a hot air balloon ride. Spend the night in a local bed and breakfast. Learn to scuba dive. Dance the whole night away under the stars. The choice is yours.
(4) We're going to take one mini-vacation every month. Whether it's for the night or just for the night out, plan one tiny slice of a vacation every single month. The only rule: you must pretend you're on vacation. Book a night at a local bed and breakfast. Call your local hotel and find out their non-peak nights (in business-oriented cities, it's usually Friday and Saturday) then plan a short romantic getaway.
(5) We're going to go to at least one festival. Special events take place at just about every community around the world. Whatever your interests -- from square dancing to sandcastle building -- you'll find a festival celebrating with a day or two of fun and food. If you don't have the time or budget to go far, contact area chamber of commerce or tourism offices within a day's drive of your home for their calendar of events. If you can, extend your trip into a long weekend. If you've got the time and resources, check out some of the major fun festivals: Carnival, Mardi gras, and Rio’s Carnival. Don't forget your costume!

The Benefits of Private Jet Rentals

The business jet charter industry is currently on the rise. Although it may sound more expensive at first, chartering a jet can be an excellent business decision. The jet will leave when you want it to leave, and depart from, or arrive at, an airport of your choice, while avoiding the stress caused by long security delays. Furthermore, depending upon the amount of passengers, the actual price tag of chartering an executive business airplane can be comparable to that of a scheduled commercial flight. Even in the face of rising fuel costs and the ease of meeting via video and web-conferencing, many companies are still flying their top executives around the country, or the world, to attend important meetings. If a company does not own their own business jet, rather than flying their CEO’s business or first-class on commercial flights, the increasing trend is to charter a private business jet.

So why charter a private aircraft anyway?
The following are four reasons why chartering a business jet is not only easier that it ever was in the past, but also makes good business sense:

Simplicity - It is now easier than ever before to charter a business jet. One of the easiest ways of finding an aircraft charter company is on the internet. However you can also search for aircraft charter brokers who act as your private charter jet liaison and can assist you in locating the best charter company that will suit your requirements.
Efficiency - Chartered private aircraft passengers will save more time during departure by having direct access to the aircraft instead of waiting in long lines at the airport security screenings. Not only that, but because it is possible for the jet to wait for you at the arrival location you can depart on your own timetable. It is possible to conduct a meeting in the early afternoon and still be home in time for dinner allowing you to be back to work the following morning.
A Private Jet - The New Status Symbol - One of the biggest bonuses offered to quite a few prized CEO's is the use of the company jet. Many companies are noticing this, and to remain competitive in recruiting talent they have to offer the best perks. Chartering a private executive airplane has become the trend with several mid-sized businesses who can’t afford to purchase their own company jet. Yet another example why the aircraft charter business is on the increase.
Security - Chartering a private business jet provides an improved level of security not found on most commercial airlines. Remember when you fly on a chartered jet, you are renting the entire jet, not just one seat. This is why you can be sure of much greater security in terms of the protection of sensitive business information. You won’t have to worry about why the guy in the seat behind you frantically scribbling away in a notebook as your meeting is going on.

Rent A Private Jet

When you think about travel, there is a good chance that you end up thinking of things like long lines at the airport, the difficulty of picking up your luggage, and let's not forget the tedious trip through the metal detectors. In many ways, flying has become something that is almost more trouble than its worth, and to answer these annoyances, many people are taking the option of renting a private jet to heart! Renting a private jet might seem like something of a fantastical way to get where you want to go, but the truth is, more and more people are doing it, and if you have ever felt frustrated or angered by another hold up at the airport, this might be an option you need to consider.

It is true that renting a private jet is more expensive than a plane ticker. However, the perks that come with using a private jet for your trip more than make up for the added expensive. For instance, how early did you have to leave for the airport last time you flew? Three hours? Four? Five? This won't be a problem when you rent a private jet.

Think about what your last flight was like. Was it crammed in to maximum capacity, where every movement was a pain and problem? Did you try to sleep, but were unable to do so thanks to people who kept talking or babies who just wouldn't stop crying? With a private jet, you'll have the luxury of really spreading out and getting the most out of your flight experience. Flying is actually surprisingly pleasant... once you take the other people out of the equation.

Some companies have even gone so far as to retain a private jet for their use. Of course, this is good not only for executive's peace of mind, but also for a company's image. A private jet can be a boon to those with overstuffed schedules as well; not having to take those hours up at the airport will allow you to arrive at your destination relaxed, and with more time to spend actually getting work done.

Think about what hiring a private jet can do for you and your work. You'll find that there are fewer more appealing options than flying if its on your own terms.

AirTravel Infos - Traveling With Tools

Are you a handyman by trade? If so, it is likely that you have grown accustomed to carrying your tools around with you, wherever you go. In fact, there is also a chance that you may need to travel with them. Whether you are traveling for business purposes or not, it is important to know that the airline industry as a specific set of air travel rules concerning tools. If you are planning on brining your tools along with you, you will want to take the time to famialrize yourself with these rules. Doing so may prove helpful, in more ways than one.

Before discussing the tools that are not allowed to board an airline and those that are, it is important to know one thing, there are different kinds of rules. Most airlines do not strictly prohibit carrying tools with you, but you take them to restrict certain times. For example, you will find that a large number of tools can be stored in your checked baggage, but they are prohibited from being stored in his carryon luggage. If at any time you are confused about these prohibitions, which are advised to contact their airline for additional information.

A group of tools which are banned from carryon luggage includes sharp objects. With the recent focus on the security of the airport, you should already be well aware of such a ban. Saws, saw blades, drills, and box cutters are banned from all aircraft cabins. Essentially, this means that you can not save these items in your carryon luggage, but they can be packed in checked baggage. Since all luggage, including bags that you do not agree with you at all times, must be sought, we advise you to secure these tools well. Failure to do so may result in an airline employee receiving an injury that could have been avoided.

In addition to tools with sharp edges, there is also a carryon luggage ban on tools that could be used as a deadly weapon. These tools include axes, hatchets, cattle prods, hammers, and crowbars. This ban is mostly imposed due to the size and weight of these items. As with most other tools, the airline industry will allow you to store these heavy tools in your checked baggage.

Although it may seem as if all the instruments are forbidden his carryon luggage, which is not the case. There are a number of tools can be stored in their carryon luggage. These tools include screwdrivers and pliers. Additional tools can also afford, but they have not been mentioned previously. It is also necessary that these tools no more than seven inches long. In cases where more than seven inches, will have to make further adjustments.

Despite the fact that certain tools can be stored in your carryon luggage, it may be a good idea to put these items in your checked baggage or leave them at home. Even though these items are allowed, you may raise suspicion from having them with you aboard a plane. That suspicion may not necessity come from airport security officials, but it may come from other passengers. With the way that the world works today, it may be best if you refrain from including these tools in your carryon luggage, unless you absolutely need them.

Best Air Travel Tips

Here is a great list of tips for trouble-free air travel. An air trip can easily be ruined from just one small thing going wrong. Use these tips as a useful checklist whether you fly frequently or just occasionally.

Check your passport expiry date. Ideally it needs to be valid for at least six months beyond your travel return date. Some countries actually require that your passport be valid for at least six months into the future.

It is important to decide what you will be taking as onboard hand luggage and what you will be consigning separately. Do this several days before you travel as it could affect what luggage bags you take. It could also affect your air ticket booking, particularly if booking online. Check that you know what luggage restrictions may apply.

Confirm flight times and dates for all portions of your trip to make sure that it matches up with your information.

Make a copy of your air travel itinerary and your passport photo page, and leave copies with your key contacts (workplace, family, travel agent or friend). This can be useful in case you suffer a mishap or in case you need to be contacted urgently. Remember to include telephone numbers and addresses of where you can be contacted during your trip.

If traveling internationally make sure that you have the correct visas that may apply. Check whether you need a business or tourist visa and apply accordingly.

Make photocopies of your passport, visas and any other pertinent travel documents. Pack copies in your luggage as a contingency in case your original documents are lost or stolen.

Bring a copy of your medical history with you. This could simply involve listing any medical conditions, blood type, etc. If you are allergic to any medications, include this information. When traveling internationally try to have these items listed in the local language (if possible).

If traveling abroad here is a great tip: prepare a list of key phrases written in the local language such as thank you, please, where is, help, how much, and so on. You just need a small piece of paper showing a dozen or so key phrases.

Theft is always a concern at airports, but it also happens on flights. Therefore never leave valuables on your seat or near by - take them with you if you leave your seat.

Always be aware of your surroundings while at the airport. Thieves go to airport specifically to steal.

Lured by cheap student travel packages and dirt cheap airline tickets, there is little doubt that fun and excitement are the main purpose for the trip. Sometimes, however, the most important thing about traveling may have little to do with the intention for going. Often the byproducts of travel, experiencing the world, learning about different cultures, seeing places of history, firsthand looks at geography, these may not be the reason for the trip but their longer-term affect on the person traveling may be more valuable and memorable than all the fun and excitement that happened along the way. Add the advantage of dirt cheap airline tickets and other student travel advantages and you can't go wrong.

Many times the adventurous nature of students and their general lack of funds for lavish accommodations cause the student traveler to be more receptive to the possibility of getting away from the main tourist attractions. By staying off the beaten path the student can be exposed to the real daily experiences and cultural differences often not seen by the more experienced and better funded traveler. There are actually many more beautiful places, with great scenery available off the beaten track than on. This type of travel is certainly more for the truly adventurous, but it can afford the person willing to do it the opportunity to associate with the locals, experience their culture firsthand, and even learn and grow in the process. In this time of fuel surcharges and fewer inexpensive and almost no dirt cheap airline tickets, tighter budgets reign.

Ironically, the student traveler who realizes he or she must plan ahead and cannot afford the room rates or meals at the most expensive destination resorts benefit in the process, by rubbing elbows with many more local inhabitants of the countries in which they are traveling. Locals recognize the student traveler for the adventurous and curious person that he is and will go out of their way to share information about the best inexpensive local restaurants, local beaches where the sand is just as white, and the water just as cool as those adjacent to the most expensive destination resorts. In these ways, the student traveler has many advantages over their more wealthy counterparts and may return from a trip with more cultural insights, having seen even more remarkable scenery than someone else who spent twice the money. Limited dirt cheap airline tickets just call for more imagination and tightening the belt elsewhere.

A remarkable advantage of student travel is that there are prearranged inexpensive lodging and meals at hostels, campsites and other destinations that cater to students. Another irony of student travel is that because the student is not supposed or expected to be traveling with a large amount of money, the student is less likely to be targeted for robbery even though he may be staying somewhat off the usual tourist beat. Travel by its very nature is one of the most educational and culturally rewarding experiences one can have. No matter what the stated purpose of the trip might be, it is very likely that the ancillary benefits, especially the student traveler can obtain are the more lasting value. These may include the greater memories, the more lasting friendships, the more amazing sights, the better, less expensive meals and lodging, the overall greater appreciation of the cultural differences as well as the better recognition of the basic human good within people everywhere.

Bus Tour Season is approaching fast

The Bus Tour Season is fast approaching and naturally you will be taking your digital camera along for the journey. After all your vacations are far and few between and it is nice to look back on those memories as you slave away at your job. However, when you
Bus tour with a digital camera, it is a completely different experience from that of
Charging Batteries is one of the biggest stumbling blocks you'll face when you
Bus tour. Outlets can be scarce in hotels. On a recent trip to Europe, only one of the five modern hotels I stayed in had more than one outlet available for use when charging up electronics. Charging your battery can be more of a hassle if you're
Bus touring by train: If you take an overnight train in Europe, they don't have power adapters at the seats (certain trains do, but it's not something you can count on). I suggest bringing at least two rechargeable batteries, three if you plan to
Bus tour with overnight trains, or don't think you'll be able to charge every night. If your camera uses regular AA batteries, consider yourself lucky-you'll find those everywhere. Scope out the situation in your room when you check in: You should get at least one usable outlet, but don't count on more than that.
Bus touring with a film camera. This is a lesson that far too many Bus tourers seem to be learning the hard way, especially if you're
Bus touring to Europe. After a couples years of relying solely on digital for taking photos when I
Bus tour, there are things you should consider before you head off on your next trip.


In addition to finding the best rates in lodgings and transportation, an experienced
Bus tour agent can also give you some helpful tips about your destination and here's the bonus- generally it costs nothing to use a Bus tour agency! Because they can buy in volume, Bus tour agencies get discounts on prices for both tickets and lodgings! The world has changed a lot in the past century. Thanks to the invention of airplanes and high-speed trains, today's world is wide open to Bus tour. In a day's time, we can Bus tour to the other side of the world without using our entire life's savings. We also have a number of options open to us to help us plan our
Bus tours, and choosing wisely can help save time and money.

8-Tips for Packing and Traveling Lite

How-to Pack and Travel Lite
In this day and age of traveling echolalia, there are a few packing tactics to employ. To cut out an extra thirty to forty minutes at the arriving airport, start with packing small luggage. Since carry-ones can not exceed a linear dimension of 45 inches, you can escape the fiasco of the baggage terminal by simply packing and traveling light. To learn how to pack all your needs into one suitcase, read more.

Use the following pithy packing tips to make your travel light:

Make a list. Compose a pack list. Be sure to coordinate shirts and blouses with bottoms. To maximize your traveling wardrobe fashion savoir faire, stick with solids and versatile basics. Rule-out any clothes that do not match other items.

Roll ‘me up please. The best way to fit all your clothes is by rolling pants and shirts. First fold each item in half. Then simply roll. To try to maintain any creases, start on the bulkiest end of the article of clothing.

Gear up. How to make an awe-inspiring impression out of a basic or mundane outfit? For the most glam appeal, accessorize with a vibrant tie (for him) or a florid scarf (for her). Multihued accessories can liven up just about any attire.

Minimize bulk. After you check for space, edit outfits – ruthlessly. Try to pack micro fibers with wrinkle and stain free comfort. With most of your attire, stay in the same color scheme – in case you have to layer up for warmth.

Employ shoe smarts. For men, any leather rubber-soled shoes can make the day and night transition, easy. For woman, a pair of flip-flops, satrapy sandals and comfy wedges can serve all casual – chic dressing needs.

Put under garments on the top. To reduce the embarrassment of under garments becoming the side show attraction of the open luggage scan, place all panties in a plastic bag free of any clippers, lighters or other questionable paraphernalia. For expedient security review, place the transparent bag on top of your other items so security can access the bag without ruining your efficient packing method.

Lose Extra Baggage. Leave the heavy travel guide at home. Duplicate important resources to keep your luggage free of extra pounds. Since most hotels and resorts provide irons and blow-dryers --leave yours at home for light travel.

Leave restricted items at home. If you want to make it through security extra fast, avoid any firearms, weapons, box-cutters, scissors, razors, lighters and any other item that may be used in a terrorist situation.
