3 Ways You’re Wasting Time While Traveling

January 17, 2017 | business travel, Richmond limousine service | Randy Allen

Every day, millions of Americans participate in one of the most exciting and frustrating industries in the United States, they travel. Traveling is the lifeblood of the American economy, and between business travel and vacations, most Americans spend several days a year traveling. Unfortunately, while the experience of going to a new place is exciting for most people, it also wastes a great deal of time. Americans lose hours of precious time every year, but they don’t have to. There are several ways travelers waste time while heading to their destination.

 

Waiting for Security

The last decade has seen a major increase in security at airports, train stations, and even bus stops. No one wants to be the victim of an attack, but those lines do take forever. Most people arrive at the airport two hours early to make sure they get through security. You never know how long it will take, but there are several steps you can take to get through security faster. First, if you plan to fly within the United States, you should sign up for TSA precheck. This system is utilized by over four million people, and it allows you to keep your shoes on, your laptop in your bag, and your jacket on as you walk through security. The TSA currently estimates that 96% of precheck passengers passed through security in less than five minutes. You will save hours by signing up for TSA precheck. Global travelers can sign up for Global Entry, which will get you pre-approved and let you skip the lines. Stop wasting time getting through security and sign up for these programs.

 

Flying into an airport that is far from your destination

When you fly to major cities you often have several airports to choose from. Similarly, when you fly to a small town, you might have several regional airports to choose from. One great example is New York City, which features LaGuardia airport and JFK airport. You should try to choose an airport that is close to your final destination, so that when you land, you can easily get where you want to be. No one wants to drive a long distance immediately after getting off a plane, but you can avoid this situation by picking the closest airport for you.

 

Renting a car

Unfortunately, the travel woes don’t end when you land. Many people spend hours at the airport trying to rent a car and then navigating the unfamiliar streets of their destination. This seems unavoidable, but hiring a car service or limo can make the experience easy. The right company will come pick you up and make your new city experience magic. Save time by renting a limo.

Next time you visit Northern Virginia, you should strongly consider following these tips. Our Richmond car service will deliver you safely to your destination.
