It’s an important question. When
It’s an important question. When that
screen flashes ‘Go to Gate’, it’s much less stressful if
you know how long you’ll take to walk there. All your good
work of stress-reduction goes down the tubes if you walk 5
minutes and then realize your gate is way the other side of
the airport terminal.
Sometimes you even have to go through more security, or
another passport check, and find a line waiting there. I
once travelled out of Spain, and this exact same thing
happened. A long passport control line stood between me
and my gate, where departure was scheduled just 15 minutes
later. Luckily myself and 5 others decided to go right to
the front and explain the situation – no one objected to us
going thro first.
But try to avoid this un-necessary stress by checking in
advance.
* Invest in the Executive Lounge
If you travel often you might get free entry to an airport
executive lounge. If not, you can often pay a small amount
to use it. The ideal low-stress airport experience begins
in the executive lounge. Away from all the airport hustle
& bustle, relax with free drinks and nibbles.
