Six Travel Resolutions for the New Year

Posted by accountingweb on Jan 5 2000 103 printer friendly

All of us travel at one time or another for business or pleasure. Thankfully, the cost of traveling on a plane has dropped considerably, and in some markets, Saturday night stayovers do not necessarily bring down the cost of ticket. As a result, we're traveling more frequently than before.

In the event your trip goes awry, as in overcrowded planes, overbookings, lost luggage and the like, what do you normally do? Get mad - or get even?

Start the year out right by considering these six travel resolutions. They'll make for kinder, gentler travel!

Treat people with respect and demand to be treated with respect in return.
Stop whining about airplane delays.
Hold airlines to a higher standard.
Feed ourselves.
Improve your transition from work to vacation mode.
Think before accepting the lowest price on your next trip.
