Road warriors' best tips for smooth travel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Snyder is the founder of air travel assistance site Cranky Concierge,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and he writes the consumer air travel blog The Cranky Flier.
(CNN) -- Each week, I offer my thoughts on air travel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I thought we'd do it differently this time. Let's flip things around and see what road warriors have to say.
I asked frequent travelers to give me their single best tip for less savvy travelers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I wasn't looking for the usual "buy tickets on a Tuesday" stuff (that I don't really believe anyway),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I'm talking about the little things that can make life just that much better while traveling.
And many of the responses I received did,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in fact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], involve the little things. Paul Blevins, a United frequent flier out of Tampa,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Florida,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said, "Don't wear laced shoes."
If you've done the security dance at an airport,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you know why this is. We all have to take our shoes off at the checkpoint,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so if you have no laces,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it will make it easier. Otherwise, you'll be stumbling out of the checkpoint to find a bench to recompose yourself.
Other travelers focused on what you bring in your bags and even what kind of bags you bring. One frequent flier suggested traveling "with 1 bag. Not 1+purse+laptop bag. 1 bag. airline,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said "pack lighter; no you really don't need it." Packing too much is a common mistake. And in general,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pilots and flight attendants are the most frequent fliers, so their advice is golden.
Frequent traveler Laura Green of Chicago suggested something that only mothers might consider: "Baby wipes, you never know when those will come in handy!" But this shouldn't be limited to mothers. Just touched something disgusting in the seatback pocket? Break out the baby wipes. Some unidentifiable substance on the desk in your hotel? Spill something on your shirt? Don't want to touch that subway handrail? Baby wipes are universally useful.
Other points of advice seem to go against conventional wisdom. Ken McGuffin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a frequent flier from Toronto,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Don't show up to the airport too early. You're just getting in everyone else's way."
As airlines tell travelers to arrive increasingly early for flights as security checks get longer and more involved,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], people start to get to the airport earlier and earlier. I'm just waiting for tent cities to pop up at the ticket counter for those who arrive a day or two in advance.
Summer travel: Watch out for amateurs
Ultimately, some of the best advice comes from those who have seen it all. "Go with the flow. Some of my best travel experiences have been due to delays, canceled flights and language barriers!" That's great advice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though it won't be easy if you're on a deadline. Things do go wrong, but if you stress out with each problem,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you'll drive yourself crazy.
