Essentials Tips for the Business Traveler

As they say, getting there stopped being half the fun when airplanes were invented. If you travel a lot, here are some tips to make it more palatable.
1.
With it you’ll get assistance with reservations, seat selection and boarding pass issuance; a quite place to wait and work; complimentary snacks and beverages; private bar at most locations and showers at some. At around $450/yr. for one person, it could be well worth it.
2.
Coordinate to one color, like black. Many women, myself included, swear by Tencel®. Indestructible, always looks nice. Choose the right print blouses and it won’t show stains. Gentlemen, consider microfiber fabrics. Choose something with inner pockets (that zip!) for important papers and cash.
3.
Better than TV in most hotel rooms, good for waits, also good to hide behind if you get next to someone in the plane who annoys you. Leave it behind for another traveler or tear off chapters as you go along and lighten you load.
4.
Especially important in 3rd world countries. Wear cheap-looking watch and jewelry and leave the diamonds at home. Makes you less of a target for pick pockets and luggage theft. If you must take a camera, guard the lens; popular with pick pockets as well.Remove luggage tags from other trips. It’s a tip-off for thieves looking for the “rich frequent traveler”.

What does a travel agent has to do with a reading text? Probably, a tourism magazine editor will be more related. How about more items for checking reading comprehension? That is, guessing words from context, identifying or writing the main idea, true or false statements.
