职场英语：出差无压力 7个便捷商旅解决方案(2)

女士们：还有什么比在旅行中解开在行李底层打成死结的金项链更让人烦心的？要想避免，将项链一头穿过吸管，再扣上搭扣。同样，如果你有多枚戒指可能会相互摩擦，把他们放在日用药品收纳盒里，一格放一个。再找一个大纽扣，将耳环穿进扣子孔里。

4. Bite the bullet and go elite

4. 咬咬牙，享受一回头等服务。

As the well-traveled basketball player Michael Jordan was once paid a lot of money to say: Just do it. Air travel has gotten pretty grisly over the last decade, and elite membership is a way to soften the edges. You bypass lines and ticket service charges, your seating upgrades are prioritized, and your bags are the first ones delivered at the baggage claim. As with life, travel is about the little things. So if you can go elite, do.

就像热爱旅游的篮球明星迈克乔丹拿了巨额广告费时说的那样：想做就做。航空旅行在过去十年变得相当恶劣，头等会员的服务倒是能够弥补一些。不用排队，不用机票服务费，座位升级优先，行李首先运送到认领处。比起生活，旅行不过就是这些小事。所以如果你可以享受头等服务，就享受吧。

5. Beat jet lag

5. 克服时差感

Our friends at Mental Floss compiled a whole list of strategies for avoiding jet lag, including staying hydrated while in-flight boozing, exercising, and making sure your skin sees some sun. If you're traveling at night, maybe also ask your doctor about a sleeping pill to help you adjust your clock. She may say no, but asking can't hurt.

杂志《Mental Floss》的朋友们比较了一系列避免时差感的方法，包括在飞机上补充水分，适当运动，保证皮肤见到阳光。如果你是晚上飞行，问医生要一些帮助睡眠的药物，调节你的生物钟。医生可能会拒绝你，但是问一问又不会怎样。

6. Catch up on email

6. 查收邮件

Those in-flight hours when you're strapped to your seat are the perfect opportunity to catch up on the parts of your worklife you've let slip. For many of us, that's email. Many short flights still don't have Wi-Fi, so cue up 15, 20, or however many emails you can on your laptop before the flight, and take the time to write thoughtful, probably apologetic, replies. Then send them off next time you're connected.

在飞机座位上待着的时间完全是拾起之前错过的工作的好机会。对于大部分人来说，就是邮件。很大短程飞机上没有无线网，所以登机前先下好15到20封邮件，或者能下几封就几封，花时间回复，回执需经过深思熟虑，有必要还需表达歉意。等到有网络时，再发送。

7. Pre-book your car

7. 预定好车

Taxis are always available at airports, but actually getting in them can be a pain: The lines are often long and exposed to the weather, and the airport fees are always high. Instead, pre-book a car, which, in many towns, is no pricier than taking a cab. There are few better feelings on a business trip — or in life, probably — than being greeted by a man in a suit holding a card with your name spelled out in sharpie.
