Travel tips: The 15 inescapable truths of travel

 

[get me outta here]

No one wants to look at your photos when you return, so email them occasionally one at a time.

Don't agree with many of those. But I do with the hot/cold airplane/hotel; I thought was in the minority with these.

Some more that they forgot.................

WITZENBURG’S LAW OF AIRPLANE TRAVEL
The distance between the ticket counter and your plane is directly proportional to the weight of luggage you are carrying and inversely proportional to the time before take-off.
FIRST LAW OF AIRTRAVEL
Serving coffee in aircraft causes air turbulence
COLIN’S LAW OF RESTAURANT ACOUSTICS
The decibel level of the conversation at the next table is inversely proportional to the quality of the thoughts.
O’DOYLE’S MAXIM
No matter how many executives share a cab – all of them will claim it on their expenses.

My bag ( even with priority baggage ) has NEVER been first off.
The plane temp never bothers me TBH, hotel rooms often have extra blankets. I do recall once or twice when we went with price Vs quality the room temp was way too warm. Pretty much agree with most to varying degrees ........ Golly! When did it all become so depressing. ?

Ive found that friends love the facebook photos uploaded as you go but never afterwards.

I have had one piece of luggage come off first.

Emirates have upgraded me a few times in last 12 months.

But pretty much agree with the rest.

It does happen!
First bag off at LAX TBIT a fortnight ago. And now that I think about it, I had first bag out at SYD after VA flight from BNE a month or so ago. But it's invariably useless to me as I travel with a golf bag most trips and there is a law that they can only be delivered after 75% of other bags (or so it seems).

I never thought the bag first off was possible either, but it happened to us! And on a combo Singapore airlines/Lifemiles redemption, PER-SIN-ZRH-TXL. I actually wasn't expecting them to come out at all, but there they were first ones out in Berlin 30 hours later. Amazing.

Back in the days when I used to fly QF PER-SIN-PER, my bag used to regularly come off first in SIN due the F bag tags for WP. Never recall if coming off first in PER however.

I find the temperature on the plane is usually too hot on the ground, so I always turn as many of the overhead air outlets as possible onto me at full blast.
In flight it is generally much cooler. Only occasionally had temperature issues apart from that.

My experience of priority baggage has generally been good, though I'd have to say domestic QF flights are probably the least impressive.
Etihad are flawless in this regard.
OW priority tags on Finnair, Iberia and Malaysian have all seen my bags come off among the first few items.
VA has been fairly reliable on domestic flights too.
Priority seems to mean nothing on any carrier when you arrive in DPS however.
