82: Travel Pt. 1

1 hour 38 minutes

Dan and Haddie talk about how to optimize travel in order to reduce stress.

Some tips from the show:

Be loyal to a single airline. Loyalty pays off. Not so true for infrequent travelers.

When booking, consider how luggage will fit, what kind of seat SeatGuru.com

The earlier you book the better. Travel card: American Express Business Card, Barclay Card Arrival+.

Never check a bag.

Nothing under 1+ layover. Domino effect

Get TSAPre

Go to your gate first then wander around

Get the App for your airline

Get to the airport 90 min before the flight departs.

Packing cubes

TravelPro Bags

Bring your own ziplock bags (small, med, large)

Nring wipes

Ask for free things, take advantage of things like birthdays and maybe recently married!

Wear your extra items like hats and coats that might make your luggage not fit in the overhead

Keep your toilitries bag packed, always

Always take the toiletries home from the hotel

Invest in shoe bags

Dryer sheets in your suitcase

Bring or wear socks

Scan your drivers license, passport etc in case of emergency

Go to the restroom if you have the time even if you don’t have to

If you do check you bag, never check ANYTHING valuable

Dirty shoes in the hotel shower cap

Never put your suitcase on the bed
