Newport International Group Corporate Travel: 9 tricks for coping with European airports

danielleiyfioren 12 years ago 0


Sometimes I wonder why I lug my bag through airports, following my own recommendation to pack light enough to carry on and avoid checking any bags on international flights. Read Video

It can be a drag, dragging your bag through airports. But when scrambling with last-minute changes in flight plans, those without checked bags are far more nimble. Read Video

Over the years I've learned some tricks on dealing with European airports. Here are a few of them:

Pack Light and Carry It On: When you carry your own luggage, quick, last-minute changes in flight plans become simpler.

A small bag sits in the overhead bin or under your seat; when you arrive, you can hit the ground running.

It's a good feeling. When I land in London, I'm on my way downtown while everyone else stares anxiously at the luggage carousel. When I fly home, I'm the first guy the dog sniffs.

It Doesn't Hurt to Ask: I'll often ask airport staff for small favors, and so should you. I'll ask the gate agent if she can seat me in the exit row.

I'll ask the car-rental agent for the easiest way to get out of the airport.

And if I have a tight connection and there are lines at passport control, I'll ask the attendant politely if I can use the "elite flier" line instead, so I can make that connecting flight.

Just Say No to Exchange Booths: At airport exchange booths such as Forex or Travelex, you lose about 15 percent when you change dollars to euros or other currency.

When I arrive in Europe, I head for an airport ATM, load up on cash, and keep it safe in my money belt. I've never been to an airport in Europe that didn't have plenty of ATMs.

Appreciate Airport Amenities: You may be jet-lagged and just want to get to your hotel, but take advantage of airport services before you leave.

Stop by the tourist information office for maps, museum passes, subway tickets and advice (usually they're less crowded than the downtown office).

If you need an international phone card or SIM card for your mobile phone, many airport convenience stores carry them.

I've also found that free Wi-Fi at executive lounges in airports often leaks into the main hall. Just sitting against the wall, I can get online for free.

Know Where You're Going: Smart travelers download airport terminal maps to their smartphones or print them out before they leave.

You can also look for websites with detailed instructions on how to get from your arrival gate to the center of the city (for Paris, try www.parisbytrain.com; for Rome, see the YouTube channel at www.romewalks.com). Google has even started mapping airport interiors with its Street View program.

Avoid Taxi Scams: If you want to take a taxi from the airport, it's better to head for the official taxi stand and join the queue rather than flag one down.

It should have a big, prominent taxi-company logo and telephone number. Avoid using unmarked beaters with makeshift taxi lights on top.

Don't Get Lost in Translation: Nearly everything is translated into English at European airports, but you still need to pay careful attention.

For example, the shuttle bus between terminals at Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport is called the CDGVAL— you have to look carefully to see that it is also marked "Airport Shuttle" in smaller letters.

At the Frankfurt airport, regional trains depart from the Regionalbahnhof, while long-distance trains use the Fernbahnhof.

Watch Out for the Name Game: Budget airlines sometimes use obscure airports. For example, one of Ryanair's London hubs is Stansted Airport, one of the farthest airports from London's city center. Ryanair's flights to "Frankfurt" actually take you to Hahn, 75 miles away.

Having Happy Returns: When it's time to fly home, be sure you know your departure terminal before you leave for the airport.

Don't count on the taxi driver or shuttle bus driver knowing where you should be dropped off.

For example, at Rome's Fiumicino Airport, American airlines flying direct to the U.S. depart from Terminal 5, which is a separate building not connected to the rest of the terminals.

If your driver leaves you at the main terminal, you'll have to take a shuttle bus— it's too far to walk. (Flight Track-type apps give you terminal details reliably and can be a huge help.)

The ability to specify a buffer or file name when piping text into sublime.

Neil Mahoney 14 years ago 0

 Maybe this exists but I have not yet found it. I want to be able to run a command like this from the console:

curl "myresource" | subl response.xml

This would automatically set syntax highlighting based on the extension and make for one less step if you want to save the file.

Add ability to search though recent files

anonymouse 14 years ago 0
Sublime should keep a large list of recently opened files, and allow us to quickly search though them like how Ctrl+P currently works.

Use Cmd+K Cmd+0 to Unfold All

pazsxn 14 years ago updated by Joel Thornton 14 years ago 1
To me it seems more logical and easier to remember that "0th" folding level unfolds all — all other folding shortcuts are numeric. Cmd+J feels like an odd one here.

Show tabs only for current folder

Richard Mišenčík 12 years ago 0

Hello Sublimers,

I have one suggestion. Would it be possible to only show tabs for the folder that Im currently working on?

For example, I have 2 projects open in the sidebar. Project 1 and Project 2. 

I'm working on Project 1 and I have multiple tabs open with files from this project. Now lets say I paused my work on this projects and I started working on new one, I want Sublime to remember my open tabs/files for Project 1, but when I click in the sidebar on Project 2, I want to create tabs/files just for this project, so its not mixed up

Sublime Text sometimes freezes when deleting files and folders via the sidebar

Andrew Meyer 13 years ago 0

I'm experiencing an issue in which Sublime Text sometimes freezes for around 10-15 seconds when I delete a file or folder via the project sidebar. This doesn't happen ALL the time, and I haven't been able to consistently reproduce the bug, but it does happen fairly often and it's rather annoying.

change window scroll behaviour when swapping line with selection

Jan Löfberg 14 years ago updated 14 years ago 0
When swapping lines with multiple rows of text selected, the window starts to scroll when the caret position hits top/bottom of window. 

It would be nice if the end position of the selection was "pushing" the scroll, with a few lines spacing in the direction of line_swap. 

This would give a "heads up" or "look ahead" behavior that would prevent the user from swapping the selection too many lines, ending up having to go back a few lines to get the selection to where it's supposed to be.
