How to Take the Stress out of Air Travel

Air travel is, ideally, supposed to be an enjoyable experience for the leisure traveller and at least a fast and efficient one for those travelling because they have to - either on business or for another given reason. Unfortunately, real life experience shows that there are many variables that can get massively in the way of such aspiration. Some aspects are, obviously, completely out of your control - such as industrial action or adverse weather conditions - but many others can be positively influenced by savvy travel planning and behaviour. And, indeed, that is the purpose of this book: providing ideas on tactics to adopt to avoid or, at least, minimise the hassle of air travel.

Klaus D. Mittorp has been travelling by air since he was a child. Both as senior executive as well as leisure traveller he has accumulated millions of air miles on all continents and with them lots of insights into what works and what doesn't when you take a plane. He volunteers regularly with the Airport Chaplaincy at Frankfurt International Airport, continental Europe's largest hub.
