Also I recommend in general getting unlimited data and using yer phone as a hotspot, that way you don't have to deal with hotel internet fees, unsecured free networks, etc. Charge the data to your company, enjoy it anytime traveling or not.
All of that stuff sucks down battery. You're not using a hotspot all day with enough juice left to watch a movie on your 6 hour flight. It what the outlet on the plane are for. Having said that, don't assume they will work. Twice in the past month I've had the outlets either turn off mid-flight or not work altogether on United.Quote:

Yeah, I said unless you are watching movies which I don't, I watch movies on the seatback screens. Or I read the NYT on my phone, I just refresh the app before we take off and all the articles are downloaded. If the hotspot is draining yer phone off the plane, you can switch to a airport network as needed. I've never had to. My point is I never need to recharge my phone or laptop on travel days, nor deal with hotel internet fees, and so can others, it makes travel easier and that's what the OP is asking about.Quote:

usually someone from row 34 will have priority 1 boarding due to their handicap or special needs, they board, then put there stuff in the bin above row 3. Row 3 ticket holders, since their bins are full, will have to place their crap above row 7. Upon landing, and the first chime, row 34 will bum rush the front of plane and end up at bin above row 3 and retrieve their bag and disembark hours before their compatriots from row 33 make it off the aircraft as well as row 3 people. Seat holder in row 3 will then have to fight the forward flowing masses to back track to their bags in row 7 bins, and row 7 going back to row 12, and so on and so forth.....all because row 34 is a turd, people in the know will stow personal items under the seat in front of them although they are usually 5' 4" or less....Quote:

But they beat you and got on the plane early, so they won at boarding.Quote:

Anyone here use packing cubes? Do they actually save any space?
I don't know if they save a ton of space, they might, but it organizes shit better. You don't have to pull out everything to find a pair of socks, creating a mess. Amazon basics are cheap, worth it to see what I mean.
First 4 minutes sums it up, then the rest should go in the wife thread.
Yay, they got to sit on the plane even longer!Quote:

Yes and no. If I am going to be moving around a lot, opening and closing the bag, getting something out for a specific activity then yes to cubes. But if I am going to be in just one place for a while or limited on space then no.Quote:

Similar to packing my backpack for back country adventure. If I have the space, not pulling out a couple bags vs every individual item to get at the bottom is nice.
- I am here for the stoke
I bought an external battery which holds about 2 1/2 times the charge of a normal phone for <15$Quote:

I love packing cubes, but not for space saving. When I'm traveling for long periods, they let me compartmentalize stuff and pull things in and out of my suitcase quickly without it turning into a giant jumble. For an overnight it doesn't matter, but for any longer when I have multiple shirts/socks/underwear I find them really helpful.Quote:

Another thing- For international travel, get a Fidelity cash management account. It is a free checking account with no minimums and no fees and they reimburse ATM fees worldwide. I don't carry a debit card linked to my primary bank- only my Fidelity debit card with maybe $800 in the account so if the card gets stolen my exposure is limited.
Also, get a chip and pin credit card. This is different than the chip and signature cards in the US. So many self serve terminals in Europe and Asia for buying things like train tickets require you input a pin into the machine. I use a State Department Federal 2% cash back card for this. Also, Apple Pay or Google Pay are very helpful because you can use your phone for contactless payment. Most Euro credit cards allow touchless payment but the US cards don't yet. Doing this can be really helpful and save time when you are in a crowded coffee shop or something.
Lastly, use Google Maps to star and save places you like to visit or that that people tell you about. It creates a virtual map off all of your go to spots. It's nice to be out with clients, take a quick look at your phone and know of a cool spot around the corner to go to for the next drink.
Fuck that's exactly what I'd be doing. Thanks Hutash you just saved me some money.Quote:

Lastly in tropical climates it prevents that humid funk or dampness before wearing them. Works like a charm.
That'd be the Loonie store for you.Quote:

make sure you tap your foot three times under your neighbor’s stall. Two taps means you are getting stuffed, three taps means you are doing the stuffing.
I just took a dump in the Larry Craig bathroom in MN. The stalls were so wide...I spread 'em just to see if I could reach and wasn't even close. You'd really have to want the dong to get your foot under the next stall.
I always bring snacks in my backpack whenever I travel. Trailmix, bars, some candy usually. Apparently now they want you to pull it out and put in bin cuz my pack got pulled aside over it. Old couple in front of me as well. Guess I will make sure to put in its own bag here on out.
I thought I was the only one crazy enough to do this...good advice.Quote:

How does one determine which is the Larry Craig bathroom? Is there a sign? Did you do research?Quote:

I live in the same town as ol’ Lar when it went down so pretty big news around here.
I thought that restroom was demolished?
Might have been. The bathroom I used seemed new but was in the same area. They definitely had wide stalls.
They want to make sure you are committed to the cause.
This happened to me 3 of my last 4 times at 2 different airports. After years of cruising thru security, I was pissed.Quote:
