Conversation One

W: Nigel Lynch is editor of Business Travel Weekly. Nigel, thanks for being on the show. Now, what kind of problems do airline passengers face nowadays?
M: (1) Well most of the problems are caused by the heavy volume of traffic. And if the weather is bad, you can imagine what the situation is like. Another problem that's very common is overbooking.
W: So, what advice would you give to business travelers?
M: I'd say, avoid big airports, if you can. Then, remember not to check your baggage if you can help it. (2) Another thing is: be prepared for delays.
W: Nigel, what kind of mistakes do inexperienced travelers make?
M: The first mistake business travelers make is to take far too much luggage. Remember, take only carry-on luggage, because in most airports, you can get away with two small bags. (3) Another mistake people make is to think that you have to pay full price for air tickets. You should find out about the different ticket options. And another mistake is to go away for too long. Most people's efficiency and energy start to fall off after two weeks away. So my advice is to keep your trip short, only go for two weeks and never for a longer than three. Another point is, inexperienced travelers often expect everything to go according to plan. The fact is travelers need to learn to expect the unexpected.
W: Yeah. (4) I think the worst part of a trip is to travel at night. Are there any ways of avoiding that?
M: Yes. A weekend break or a stopover in a more relaxing or a lively place is often available at a special cheap weekend rate. Various airlines and hotel chains offer these.
W: Yes. OK, thank you, Nigel, for all this useful information and advice.
M: Pleasure!
