我们这个系列当中，有很多经常人在旅途的企业高管给我们讲述出行的小窍门，现在我们又请来了一位出行达人。
凯文?菲茨杰拉德(Kevin Fitzgerald)
澳大利亚HBO+EMTB建筑设计公司首席执行长
凯文?菲茨杰拉德在悉尼工作，他执掌的这家建筑及室内设计公司总部位于悉尼。他经常在亚太地区出差，包括大中华区和印度，到访公司在亚太区的22家分支机构。
出行频率：我每隔一天就要坐一次飞机。
旅行范围：我经常往返于澳大利亚和新西兰，也经常坐飞往亚洲的长途航班，从北京到新加坡，再到印度和越南。我最喜欢去度假的城市是巴黎。
常旅客计划：我有寰宇一家(OneWorld)和星空联盟(Star Alliance)的常旅客卡。
最喜欢的机场：伦敦希思罗机场的新候机室（2号候机室），其建筑设计很巧妙，环境令人愉悦。
亚太区最好的饭店：我最喜欢香港的港岛香格里拉大酒店(Island Shangri-La)，因为那里的服务超一流。
酒店入住程式最方便的地方：新加坡。
从机场到市区的最佳体验：悉尼，因为我正在回家的路上。除此之外，香港有机场快线(Airport Express)，非常方便。
最好的机场休息厅：我觉得澳洲航空公司(QUANTAS)在悉尼的头等舱休息厅堪称最佳。
最喜欢的航空公司：新加坡航空公司(Singapore Airlines)
最好的航空用餐体验：我不喜欢飞机上的餐点，但如果必须列一个的话，那应该是新加坡航空公司。
最舒服的航班座椅：新加坡航空公司新A380飞机的座椅腿部空间更充裕，从经济舱到头等舱的座椅都不错。
亚太地区最好的咖啡馆：我最喜欢的咖啡馆是悉尼的Bar Coluzzi。
旅途中保持精神焕发的小窍门：别在飞机上吃饭。但你晚上坐飞机时，肯定会看上去比较疲惫，这没办法。
怎么倒时差：我会试着保持澳大利亚本土的作息时间，这是一场精神与身体之间的较量——要坚持住。
如何获得升舱：要看运气。
旅行必带装备：黑莓手机，还有一个多功能转换插头。
最好的旅行箱：两个大尺寸的Tumi手提箱，坚固耐用。
收拾行李的最佳窍门：我五分钟左右就能收拾好行李，但总是带得太多。不过，如果你经常飞来飞去，就会有很多东西需要带。要是你跟我出差的频率一样多，那么送你一个小窍门：回到家后不要把东西各归其位。也就是说，下次出差的时候，你只要飞快地加几件干净衣服进箱子，就可以走了。
旅行小贴士：在晚上出发，省得坐在飞机上百无聊赖。每个月初，我会在该月的第一个航班上流览所有最新影片，为未来的夜间旅途做好准备。

Best frequent-flier lounge: Quantas First Class lounge in Sydney is beyond a doubt the best anywhere.
Preferred carrier: Singapore Airlines.
