Top tips for business travellers

Posted on February 28, 2015 at 3:00 pm

Regular international travel may be necessary for your business but with a few top tips you can make it much more rewarding.
Loyalty counts – Be loyal to certain airlines to maximise frequent flier rewards. Failing that, use a rewards type of credit card for all spending.
Get upgraded – Register your interest in purchasing an upgrade if one becomes available at check in. They’d rather sell one at a knock down price to you than give them away for free. Dressing smart will make you more likely to be upgraded, too.  At your hotel, ask for a room upgrade when you know the hotel is quiet.
Go non-stop – Always go for non-stop flights over direct. Direct flights may mean you don’t have to switch planes but by factoring in an extra airport, you’re increasing the likelihood of delays.
Get served first – Get to the front of the queue by ordering a special meal, such as the vegetarian option, on long fights.  These meals will almost always get served first.

Spa days and stays

Posted on January 16, 2015 at 10:23 pm

When looking for a relaxing Spa break it quickly come apparent that you can pay a lot of money very easily and not necessarily get much to show for it. Spa hotels always charge a premium as usually in with the cost of the room is the price of using their facilities such as pools, sauna, steam rooms and Jacuzzi. Having the use of these facilities is great and can make a spa day very relaxing but most people will also want to include some beauty treatments. Many hotels put together packages of treatments for a certain price and sometimes offer a discount for any additional treatments added on so it’s always worth getting the full price list before you make your selection.

Checking reviews online is a good way to find a nice spa with reputable treatments and you can often find online discounts particularly using apps such as Groupon or livingsocial that offer discount deals on spas all over the country.

So get something relaxing booked up to beat those winter blues!
