旅行可以是惊人的，但也有压力，我们已经学会了一些事情，使它更容易. We wanted to pass them on.
Learn Airport Efficiency Tricks
在机场导航可能会很棘手，尤其是如果机场又大又繁忙的话. There are a few things you can do to make it easier.
首先,得到 TSA PreCheck or Global Entry. 这样可以让打包变得更容易，也可以减少你在安检处排队等候的时间. If you have either of these, 你要站在专门的安检队伍里，通常要短得多, 所有东西都放在包里(包括电脑和洗漱用品), and you do not have to remove your shoes.
A 停车券 can make getting in and out of the garage a breeze. 例如，在波士顿的洛根机场，你可以得到一张停车通行证. You wave it at the garage gate when you go in and again when you leave; it charges the credit card associated with your account and 电子邮件s you a receipt. No more keeping track of tickets and waiting at kiosks!
Another tip I have embraced is to always park in the same place. 我把车停在车库的六层，靠近我的航站楼入口. 这节省了在较低楼层寻找停车位的时间，也省去了记住我把车停在哪里和寻找我的车的头痛.
Don’t Skimp on Travel Gear
拥有好的旅行装备，尤其是一个耐用的包，会让一切变得不一样. Airline workers use and swear by Travelpro, so that is the brand I went with. 我的手提箱已经行驶了许多英里，轮子、拉链和提手都完好无损.
有很多口袋和组织区域让打包变得轻而易举, and if you need to bring a laptop, 买一个有 built-in laptop sleeve or compartment. 我的团队中有几个人发誓使用双肩包，这样两只胳膊都可以自由活动. 双肩包通常更容易携带，造成的身体疼痛也更少，因为它们不仅仅影响一只手臂或肩膀.
Between trips, I make it a habit to leave things in my suitcase. 我有单独的洗漱用品，只在旅行时使用，回家时我把它们放在包里. That way, I just need to add clean clothes and I’m ready to go. 这种方法可以帮助我快速打包，不用担心忘记东西.
One thing to make a permanent resident of your carry-on bag is 无线耳机. 它们使用方便，尤其是在穿越机场的时候. 走过机场时，我用无线耳机接过很多电话, and it’s been a life-changing experience. No more being tangled in cords!
Dead batteries, and a lack of power in general, are a huge drag. You can often find people in airports crowded around power outlets, waiting their turn to charge their electronics. One of the items I never forget when I leave the house, whether it be for a few hours or a week, 是我的 external battery for my phone. 我有一个大尺寸的Anker电池，可以一次给三个东西充电，每个东西可以多次充电.
你还可以买一个Mophie手机壳，可以让手机的电池续航时间延长一倍. 另一个手边的好东西是一根可以插入一个USB端口，同时为多种物品充电的数据线. 最后, you can buy an adapter that plugs into your car, 当你离开机场还有很长一段路要开的时候，哪个更方便呢.
充足的睡眠
这很难 get a good night’s sleep 在不同的地方. 我通常需要两个晚上才能适应在一个新地方睡觉, which can be problematic when I often stay only one night. A few of us have purchased a 白噪音的机器, which can soothe you to sleep. 它也足够小，在随身行李中不会占用太多空间. Taking melatonin, a natural sleep aid, can also help.
When it comes to sleeping on planes, 我的团队非常喜欢带有侧拉链口袋的记忆泡沫颈枕. 你可以在口袋里装一个睡眠面罩，也可以帮助你在飞机上打盹.
Earn Points, Points, and More Points
报名参加 loyalty programs or frequent flier programs 无论你用谁. The points will accrue each time you travel. 无论谁预订你的旅行，你都可以保留所有的积分. 你坐的飞机越多，你的地位越高，你得到的分数就越多. You can earn points toward free flights, 酒店之夜, and other perks to make future travel easier. 你应该买一个 旅行奖励卡这可以与你从航空公司和酒店获得的积分相结合. You will be surprised to see how fast things add up!
Status can also help you get some great perks. 你可以托运行李, 改变, and upgrade fees waived or dramatically reduced, or maybe score some free upgraded seats. 与 捷蓝航空的马赛克状态在美国，您的托运行李是在行李提取处第一批从飞机上拿下来的行李之一.
