In the post 9-11 world, the problems of traveling a lot are
exponentially multiplying. However, there are a lot of things you can do
just like Marcus Hiles does to make the travels more productive and
efficient.
If you get easily irritated by the proximity and number of people in the economy class, try traveling business class or first class. While it is more expensive, getting more work done and staying calm and focused may be worth it during long flights.
It is not a good idea to take the last plane out if you absolutely need to be somewhere on time. Always have information with you about alternate routes and flights to your destination. If you travel a lot, you already know that the number of flight delays due to mechanical problems increases year after year due to aging airline fleets. If you need to have a flight with several legs, do your best do make connections in off-peak times. You want to avoid rush hour everywhere you go.
If you spend a lot of time at airports, you want to be able to access airline club rooms. There are a lot of credit cards that come with complimentary access to VIP lounges in airports all across the country. While many of those cards come with a somewhat significant annual membership fee, paying $400-$500 does make sense if you travel a lot.
Finally, you may want to consider alternatives to regular travel just like Marcus Hiles does. Private time-share jet companies have been becoming more and more popular in the recent years. Flying with them costs on average three times as much as first class travel does, but if you think about all the hours that you waste because of security checkpoints and flight delays, the number may turn out to be not as big as it initially looks.
