I pick flights with the least number of connections, always upgrade
to more comfortable seating and pick certain seats. If I find a route
that I like I will usually stick with it and try to avoid RJs
Typically I am flying out very early so do not ask for a ride but will
accept if co-worker offers. The alternative is a cab. My vehicle stays
tucked away in my garage at home.
At destination airport I always rent a vehicle. Will try to rent something
different each time. Last time it was a BMW, time before a Jeep 4x4.
Accommodations are chain hotels. I like a room with a fridge and where
I can get breakfast in the morning... no the Continental breakfast! But
sometimes it becomes a trade-off with being in a more convenient locale.
Food is nothing special but something I enjoy. I will not experiment
with new cuisine when traveling not being interested in developing
gastrointestinal issues when traveling. Ya, guess I am boring!
I have my preferences but do not really splurge on any one thing.
