10 Insider Travel Tips for Your Next Journey

Pretty much anyone can book a trip, but not everyone can plan an ultimate adventure that's affordable, accommodating, and fun for everyone in your group. At TripsInsider.com, we aim to provide you with the best insider secrets in the travel business and a state-of-the-art travel comparison tool to make planning easier than ever.
Here are some insider tips that we'd like to share with you about flights, rental cars, hotels, and cruises.

Choose the In-Flight Asian-Vegetarian Option

If you're flight is long enough to serve a meal, be wary of mystery meat and greasy foods. Niche meals, like the Asian-vegetarian option, are made in smaller batches so they're often higher quality and won't contribute to jetlag as much.

Join an Airline Loyalty Program

Even if you don't think you travel often enough to make an airline loyalty program worth it, join one. This is your best chance of getting a flight upgrade, even if you stay at a low point level.

Embrace Tuesday Travel

The strategy of buying airline tickets on Tuesdays for the best deals is still a good idea. If your schedule is flexible, plan to fly out and back on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, or on (not around) holidays like Christmas.

Pack Earplugs

Excess noise and annoyances are part of the travel experience, but that doesn't mean they have to drive you crazy. Pack a good pair or two of earplugs for your flight and hotel room, just in case.

Ask for a Corner Room

When you check in at a hotel, discretely ask if there's a corner room available. These are usually larger and quieter for the same price as ones in the middle of the hall. Upgrades are most often offered at the end of the day when hotels have a better sense of their occupancy.

Choose an In-Town Rental Location

Airports tend to charge car rental companies high rent, and some of that cost gets passed down to travelers. If you don't mind a little inconvenience, it's often cheaper to take a shuttle bus or cab to a rental office in town instead of the airport.

Don't Pay for the Mini Bar

Mini bar charges are frequently disputed because they are stocked by hand and often miscalculated. Carefully review your hotel's itemized bill and if you see any mini bar charges that aren't right, dispute them. Most front desk staff won't hesitate to void the charges.

Fill Up a Reusable Water Bottle

Bottled water on cruise ships can cost up to $4! Save money by bringing an empty reusable one in your bag. The water is clean and flows from a filtered reservoir on the ship.

Ask Crew Members about Free Souvenirs

Lots of free stuff is lying around cruise ships, such as t-shirts, crossword puzzles, and postcards. Make friends with the crew members and nicely ask what kind of freebies may be available for souvenirs. Just don't forget to tip!

Get the Weekly Car Rental Rate

It's a bit puzzling that car rental companies charge more for driving less, but the weekly rate is often cheaper than driving just four days. You may be able to get the weekly rate for just five days, so keep the car a bit longer if you can.

"We are pleased that this administration’s strategic focus on the mining sector is being justified by the very strong sectoral performance that is now being recorded,” he said noting that efforts of the present administration in repositioning the mining sector had started to yield dividends. He said this was evident in the latest report by the National Board of Statistics (NBS) which indicated a positive growth in the sector. “The first quarter 2017 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) results recently released by the National Bureau of Statistics indicates: ‘Coal mining; Metal Ores; and Quarrying and other metals; grew strongly by 2.03%, 40.79% and 52.54% respectively’. “There is however a lot more grounds to cover. In the FGN’s recently launched ‘Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (2017-2020)’, the minerals and metals sector was duly recognised as one of those to drive Nigeria’s recovery. The document projected to grow sectoral contribution to GDP from N103 billion (2015) to N141 billion in 2020, at an average annual growth rate of 8.54 percent.

“Other targets for the sector include the facilitation of coal to power plants to contribute to our energy mix towards bridging our energy deficits. “The strategy document which is very much in sync with the sector’s Roadmap, also aims to produce geological maps of the entire country by 2020 on a scale of 1:100,000; as well as integrate artisanal miners into the formal sector,” he said.

Malami, on behalf of the board members, accepted the responsibility with all humility. “He assured that the board will focus their energy to pursue speedy establishment of the SMDF to achieve federal government strategy in the sector as enshrined in the economic and growth plan of 2017-2020," he said. Alhaji Malami pledged that the board would develop a quick strategic working plan with schedules and time line to guide their activities.

He further condemned remarks by some of Nigerian leaders who are bent on planting hatred in the hearts of the Nigerian populace. "We really never had a national leader, we had three leaders at the beginning of our journey as a nation who are mindful of their regions. That is our problem. When you listen to our leaders they talk about freedom and their region but never unity," he said. Obasanjo said all the officer who participated in the war never saw themselves as enemies.

"We had special code of conduct, foreign observers, we had people who had power to report authoritatively and power to even investigate.
