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。

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。
