Tip 34: Hop on hop off best bus seats

The best hop on hop off bus seats aren’t in the front row of the top. The glass causes reflections on your pictures and will leave you disappointed. Instead sit half way back on the top. Also, pay attention to the location of the top sights as that may help you decide which side to sit on. Of course, we like to move back and forth between the sides so hopefully you can do that, too, on a less full bus.

Today Rebecca is enjoying Sydney from a hop on hop off!

Tip 33: Best travel pillows

Hi Lead.Travel.Pray. friends and family! It’s time for another #crowdsource answer. This is Rebecca and I have a problem with travel pillows. None, natta, not one seem to help me get comfortable to sleep. So help a girl out! Do you have a favorite travel pillow?  If so, share it with us here by commenting below.

Also, perhaps you have a favorite traditional pillow…you know the kind you sleep in a “normal” bed with?  We’d be interested to hear about that, too.  I mean…who doesn’t want to sleep better whether it be at home or on the road!

Tip 32: Checking airplane amenities before your flight

On most airlines, you can now check your meal, WiFi & entertainment options before departure. We like this option as a way to look forward to long flights. It could just be there are some movies you are excited to watch (often very current/just out of theaters).

Here are some of the airlines’ inflight entertainment pages:

American Airlines

Delta

Southwest Airlines

United

Tip 31: Electronic boarding passes

Electronic boarding pass or paper? We often prefer an electronic or mobile when not checking a bag which helps you skip the airline counter all together. The main tip we have is to take a screen shot or save it to your phone before you head to security so you do not run into issues where there is a pour internet signal once you get in to the security area. Trust us on this one.

Also, most machines read the boarding pass best when the screen is fully lit so you may need to adjust your phone settings.
