Hey,my dear mylotters,I posted this discussion regarding the frequent flyer to see if you'll be the one and how to deal with the very frequency fly,what's your tips during the flying~ I'm now maybe the junior frequent flyer,say I will have fly 4-5 per month after I joint the current company.Most of my flies are domestic and hence the time in the air won't exceed 5 hours.For me,I like to download a movie into my laptop and spend the time in the air~For the time being,I'm not so much disgusted with the fly.lol~~ Please share with us my friends~

I would love to fly more often. I have only taken a few trips by plane. One of them was a fairly long one. I flew from Georgia to Alaska. I had several lay-overs, and had to change planes a few times. It was a good trip, though, and I hope to take my wife there someday. The others have been short trips, mainly just consisting of a weekend stay. One trick I have learned is to avoid checking in bags as often as possible. I usually try to pack everything I need for the trip into my carry-on luggage, especially since most airlines will now allow you to take a carry-on bag AND a laptop case. When the plane lands at your destination, I can just grab my carry-on stuff and go. That is about the best advice I can give you...avoid the baggage claim whenever possible...

Well,thanks for your great idea about the carry on luggage,in fact,I will always try to avoid any check in luggages for two reason,first of all:I don't like stand in front of the luggage turnplate just waiting up to 20 mins or even more,with this time,I should already arrive my hotel;2nd,as far as I know,it'll be a "brutal"travel for your checked in bags or some other things as the hamauls in airports will not treat your bags like themselves...I had suffered that kind of thing before,when I final found my luggage,one of the wheel disappeared~~Not more to say~~haha~ Have a good day~~

I won't be in 2009, because I'll have no reason, but in 2007 and 2008 I regularly flew back and forth between Toronto Ontario Canada and Phoenix Arizona, because my husband had a job in Sedona Arizona, and I had my own life up here in Guelph Ontario Canada. Now he is done with his job in Sedona, and we're both in Canada.
