Travel hacks I swear by

As I write this, I embark on another work trip. I am reminded about some travel tips and hacks that I could not live without while traveling. Traveling is already a lot, and stressful at times, so these are some tactics I take to make it just bit more mangeable:

• Be a charger maximalist: The only thing I overpack on is anything having to do with my devices. Extra chargers and cables, always.

• Extra leg room on plane: Always worth it.

• Lounge: For me, the United lounge fee ($59) is worth it if I’m at the airport for 2-3 hours.
