Travel Tip: Upgrade or Play Musical Chairs Try to get the flight attended to upgrade you once you board the plane. This used to be easier than it is today due to the high number of upgrades required by the frequent flyer participants. Offer to have a coach meal. The airline may not have boarded extra First Class meals because the seats were empty. Just because you are assigned a seat, doesn’t mean you have to sit in it. The moment the door of the plane is closed, seek out a more desirable seat and move to it. Make your move quickly though. Others are making the same plans. Please return your seat to its upright and most uncomfortable position. Later, you may lean back and break the knees of the passenger behind you. – Flight attendant (Taken from page 68) James Feldman, (a.k.a. Doctor Travel) is a Certified Facilitator and internationally recognized professional motivator, author, television host, and radio personality. His company Incentive Travelers Cheque Int’l provides individual and group incentive travel awards for many Fortune 500 companies. His book “Doctor’s Travel Cure For The Common Trip” is an entertaining and invaluable travel guide whose purpose is not to tell you where to go, but rather to help you get ready for the adventure. CommuniQuest is pleased to share some of Mr. Feldman’s travel wisdom with our readers, who from time to time must deal with lines, cancellations, lost luggage, and a person in the adjacent seat making extensive use of the air sickness bag.
