قللت [لودجنغ إكسبنسس] ب [بووكينغ] [لت] ورحلات مبكّرة

يناير - كانون الثّاني 29, 2008 ب [أنيل] [ب.].
يصنّف دون مال

قلّلت المبلغة أنت تنفق على فنادق, نزل, ونقل ب يحجز ك يربط رحلات باكرا في الصباح أو متأخّرا في ليل. ينقذ يطير داخل باكرا في الصباح أو يترك متأخّرا في ليل أنت التكلفة من يجد في مكان ما أن ينام إن أنت تكون مستعدّة أن ينفق [ا فو] ساعات في مطار.

ميزات

  • تكلفة - فنادق حشوة أنت يشبع يوم سعر [نو متّر هوو] كثير ساعات ينفق أنت. أجبرت مسافرات متكرّرة غالبا أن يقعّر خارجا مال ل فقط [ا فو] ساعات الإستراحة (وهمرت [أف كورس]). مطارات حرّة ويزوّد [رسترووم], تنظيف ملاكة, و(عادة) إنترنت منفذة.
  • أمان - غالبا يطلّ, غير أنّ يزوّد مطارات أمان. هم دائما مفتوحة ويتلقّى أمن ملاكة يعمل حول الساعة. مجال [ا] مكان جيّدة أن ينام, أمّنت حقيبتك حول ساقك (الحاسوب المحمول يعمل تعقّب هويس عظيمة ل هذا), وثبتت ك خلية هاتف إنذار أن يصحو أنت كلّ 30 دقائق أن يحافظ إنذار.
  • وقت يخطّط - [دبندينغ ون] [هوو فر] [أوي] المطار يكون من المكان أنت أن يزور, أنت ستنقذ حول ساعة أو اثنان ببساطة يسافر [بك ند فورث] من المطار. أنت أخيرا ستضطرّ ذهبت إلى الخلف, غير أنّ أنت يستطيع أنقذتبنفسي على الأقلّ واحدة رحلة إلى الفندق.


سيئات

  • راحة - This is a big one, I can see people’s faces now as they read the first two lines of this post. Sleeping in an airport is not as comfortable as a hotel room or hostel. Sleeping in airports as a travel plan is really only for those who are really looking to save some money or feeling adventurous. Some airports have nice couches, some don’t have couches at all, in the end they are couches.
    • Make sure to drink plenty of fluids, get up from time to time, and stretch whenever you can.
  • Cleanliness – The bathrooms are clean and may be cleaner than many hotels or hostels. You however won’t be as clean, but if you’re just stopping by a city on your way to meet some friends or family, you’ll survive a few days without a shower. Make sure to wear layers, the small essentials (like gum and tissues), and have a change of undershirts and underwear in your carry-on.
  • Privacy – Sleeping out in the open, as empty as airports can get, doesn’t offer much privacy. Don’t tuck yourself too far in a corner (you want to be somewhat in the open or around other people for safety), but you’ll have to accept that human pass gas, snore, and occasionally fall while sleeping on narrow surfaces. Keep in mind that you’re unconscious, it helps.

Lodging is a big part of any vacation budget (here’s a quick guide on how to create one). Crashing in airports also works if you are traveling by car and makes the advantages mentioned above all the more pertinent. The only thing you should not do is sacrifice all of your rest for a couple of bucks. Some people just can’t sleep under the conditions you’ll find in an airport, which could easily ruin a vacation. People who are sleep deprived make poor decisions and find experiences less enjoyable.

No amount of money is worth being grumpy as you have fun traveling.

    I do still occasionally use this trick, if its just for a few hours – and its way more bearable when you’re there overnight by choice.

    Having once spent the night on the floor of Stansted, London(not by choice)along with thousands of others, with not a blanket, cusion, chair or square foot of carpeted floor in sight, arriving late the night before for a very early flight doesn’t seen so bad.

    You do feel grumpy the next day though – or maybe thats just the wine I manage to consume in the process.

    Vicky, I completely agree – it’s not such a bad experience if it’s planned for in advance.

    I should have noted that alcohol can be an intricate part of this process…most airports have bars open until late :)
