Dear Travel Agents/Advisors,

There are many ways to continue learning about the business of travel. One good option is to attend webinars and classes – who am I to disagree with that? I’d like to suggest other ideas –  things I have been doing for almost 30 years. I learn from experience. Let me give you some examples of this so you can experience the same things and take advantage of this learning opportunity.

Since I fly quite a lot, I try to experience different airlines and airports so I can form my own opinions. Plus, being a chatterbox, I talk to others on my flight and at the airport to also get their opinions. From these experiences I can tell travel agents about easier connections in the US, and friendlier and easier TSA screening, especially if you are in a hurry. These are not only my own opinions, but also those of others who shared flights around the same time – both during holidays and at regular times of the year.

Something else I do is to sample food. I order different special foods from different airlines, such as gluten free, vegan, kosher, etc,. so I can give travel agents an idea of which airlines serve the best tasting selections. Honestly, I was blown away by the gluten free options offered by Emirates: AWESOME!

I have experienced and learned that trying to make a connection between domestic and international in Boston or San Francisco is a nightmare, especially if the domestic flight gets delayed! AVOID THAT IF YOU CAN!  I can also tell you the friendliest arrival airports: the best and worst ones I have experienced while traveling to 90 countries (so far)!

I am not the most knowledgeable, nor I want to be, but my brain is full of details that I know are priceless!

Cheers!
