Easing Travelling Pains

Easing travelling pain is always a good thing. Even experienced vacationers maybe unaware of these great sites that will do just that. If you don’t know airport floor plans, unable to locate the best seats on the plane when booking, or unable to get from point A to B these websites are great resources and will help you avoid the following situations.

Situation: If your plane lands late and you only have 10 minutes to get from one end of the Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia airport to the other to make your connecting flight to Phuket, Thailand would you:

a)know where you are going

b) wander around aimlessly unable to process the contradicting directions

If you answered B you need to check out the World Airport Guide (www.worldairportguide.com). This helpful site contains all the information that you need to know about the airport, including restaurants, parking, and shopping.

Situation: Matt is on a red-eye flight from Canadian to China. This long trip is not his favourite but he wanted to see the Great Wall so he decided to go. Unfortunately, when he booked his seats the night before, he did not do a good job because when he reached his seat he noticed that he was right next to the washrooms. Worst of all, it seemed that everyone on the plane was suffering from the stomach flu!

If you can relate to Matt’s situation Seat Guru (www.seatguru.com) is the site for you. This site will guide you to the worst and best seats on the aircraft, the movies and amenities available onboard and much more.

Situation: You are on a one week vacation and you are lost with the entire family in the middle of Orlando, Florida.

Instead of suffering from a throbbing migraine, you pull out the directions that you printed off Mapquest map (www.Mapquest.com). This website is a great tool to keep you on track while you are in travelling in uncharted territory.

All this information may be too much, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Easing travelling pain can never be a bad thing!
