This week on NoSuperheroes, I am sharing some of the travel tips I have learned in 21 years of traveling to 39 nations.
We’ve already covered loyalty to frequent flyer plans, finding the best flight deals, and racking up airline miles.
Here are a few more random tips:
Avoiding the Middle Seat – The only reason you should ever get a middle seat is if you are bumped to another flight. Here are some suggestions.
1. Choose your seat at the time of booking. Most airlines allow this online.
2. Check again two days before online or call the toll-free number for the airline. Even if you are overseas, skype to the toll-free number and avoid long wait times on hold at the international office.
3. Request your seat at check-in, or at least confirm it when you are handed the boarding pass. About 30% of the time, I am given a different seat than I have chosen.
