You must plan ahead if you are going to fly. Many of the major airports are situated in and around big cities, so you need to plan ahead to avoid any delays, especially during heavily congested periods like rush hour. Pack what you can the night before your flight so you are sure to be ready to leave the next day. Prepare yourself well before the flight. Not making your flight will cost you time and money.

Be vigilant when dealing with local police or other officials, in case they're not who they claim to be, but instead are imposters. Do not let anyone have your passport unless you are sure they are legitimate. If they want to take you in for questioning, insist on walking. Do not get rides with strangers.

When traveling by car to a port prior to cruising, search for lodgings where you can park at no cost and make reservations for the night before departure. Ask the staff about deals for parking even if you haven't been able to locate any.

Whenever possible, purchase tickets for admission to attractions online, then print them instantly or opt for will-call. Just avoiding the time you will wait in line makes up for the small online printing fee. You can also often skip the admissions line altogether.

Get a workout in before you get on the plane. This will help you avoid the tediousness of long flights. Sitting for a long time can cause cramps in your legs and back. If you workout or stretch before the flight, the probability of getting cramps is greatly reduced.

When traveling, it is important to wear shoes that are comfortable and easily removable. Remember that shoes need to come off at the security checkpoint. Comfort is extremely important. In airports and on planes, you will not walk that much, but you will sit a lot; therefore heavy-duty support isn't necessary. The ultimate shoes for travel are sandals or flip flops.
