Alpha Events, Inc.’s Director of Operations Shares Tricks for Making the Most of Travel
Maxwell revealed some of the tricks that the Alpha Events, Inc. team uses to get as much out of business travel as possible. For example, he recommended preparing carefully for each trip by double checking the name on the tickets, packing lightly but carefully, and marking bags to make them easy to spot.
“Travel can be much more enjoyable if you take a few precautions to reduce potential issues,” he asserted. “I tell everyone that they should completely avoid the seat pocket on airplanes. I know so many people who have left tickets, books, and even phones in them. Additionally, I strongly recommend bringing work that doesn’t require a laptop or a physical book to read. This will make waiting more tolerable.”
He continued to recommend only checking a bag if absolutely necessary. According to Maxwell, carry-on luggage is not only more convenient, but it also offers the flexibility to change flights at will. He also revealed a few secrets to getting through the airport quicker.
“One of my favorite tricks is to find a hotel with a security gate. There’s usually almost no line,” he said. “Also, getting picked up at the departure gate means significantly less traffic. If I ever have to call the airline, I always select Spanish. The wait times are much shorter and the representatives normally also speak English. These little hacks can make travel so much smoother.”
