In my humble opinion - THE most useful and time-saving 'hack' I have learned over the years (as a multi-million mile flyer):
If you arrive at an airport and notice your flight has been cancelled (or significantly delayed) due to weather or some other natural or man-made event DO NOT:
- stand in line at a check-in desk to wait for a person to speak to; the line will likely be absurdly long and move incredibly slowly as each person will require individual routing assistance;
- call the airline's service desk which, in most cases, will have a huge wait and will frequently tell you to seek assistance at the airport;
- call your travel agent; they will simply call the airline.
Instead, go through security - your boarding pass will still be good even if your fight has been cancelled - and speak to an airline staff member at a gate or, better yet, to a person in your airline's lounge (if you're fortunate enough to have access).
The last time I used this hack I arrived at the airport which was in chaos with hundreds (if not thousands) of people waiting to speak to check-in agents. I passed by the check-in desk for my airline and found out that, due to weather, my flight had been cancelled. The very nice and helpful person directed me to the premium check-in line which, they apologetically admitted, would probably take 30 - 45 minutes or so. (That line had 16 people, the economy line had at least a hundred. )
Instead I cleared security, walked over to the gate where my (now cancelled ) plane was to leave, spoke to a gate agent, and was on a different plane less then 30 minutes later. I arrived only a few hours later then I originally intended.
I'll throw in a few hints which are probably obvious to most but will hopefully be of aid to some:
这是我多年来（作为一名数百万英里的飞行者）学到的最有用、最省时的旅行技巧，依我的拙见：
如果你抵达机场后发现航班因天气或其他自然或人为事件而取消（或严重延误），请不要：
在办理登机手续的柜台前排队等待;队伍可能会出奇地长，移动速度出奇地慢，因为每个人都需要单独的路线协助
给航空公司的服务台打电话，在大多数情况下，服务台会有很长的等待时间，并且会经常告诉你到机场寻求帮助；
打电话给你的旅行社；他们只会给航空公司打电话。
取而代之的是，通过安检—即使你的航班被取消，你的登机牌仍然有效—在登机口与航空公司工作人员交谈，或者更好的是，与航空公司休息室中的人交谈（如果你有幸进入的话）。
上一次我使用这种旅行技巧时，我到达了机场，那里一片混乱，数百人（如果不是数千人的话）等待与值机代理通话。我经过航空公司的值机柜台后发现由于天气原因，我的航班被取消了。这位非常友善、乐于助人的人把我引向了高级值机柜台，他们抱歉地承认可能需要30-45分钟左右。（那条线有16人再等待，经济线至少有100人。）
我通过了安检，走到我的(现已取消的)飞机起飞的登机口，和登机口的工作人员谈了话，不到30分钟后就登上了另一架飞机。我只晚了几个小时到达，这是我最初的计划。
我将给出一些提示，这些提示对大多数人来说可能是显而易见的，但希望对一些人有所帮助：

1) What's the 'best airline in the united states'? This is the question I am asked more often then any other. The answer is: 'whichever airline you have the highest status with'. A few years back I booked a flight the day before Christmas - fairly last-minute - on an airline with which I had no status because they had a direct flight. When I arrived at the airport the airline told me that the flight was overbooked - by 12 passengers - and that I would have to travel on another day or I could have a refund (which would mean I would miss Christmas with my family). I walked over to the airline with which I have top status - with my now useless ticket - and they went above and beyond to get me home, with an upgrade, at no extra charge. (I did have to go though 2 cities but I made it 'the night before Christmas'.)
2) If at all possible, check in from home, print your boarding pass, and keep an electronic copy of your boarding pass on your phone (you're much less likely to lose that, you can always use it to get a printed copy, the TSA takes less time with electronic boarding passes than with paper ones).
3) Take public transportation if you're going to the airport anytime there is a great deal of traffic. A cab to JFK from Manhattan will take anywhere from one to two hours in rush hour. A train will take 35 minutes .
“美国最好的航空公司”是哪家?这是我被问得最多的问题。答案是:“你拥有最高地位的航空公司”。几年前，我在圣诞节前一天(几乎是最后一刻)订了一张机票，乘坐的是一家我没有身份的航空公司，因为他们有直飞航班。当我到达机场时，航空公司告诉我，航班超额预定了——12名乘客——我必须改天旅行，否则我就可以得到退款(这意味着我将错过和家人共度的圣诞节)。我走到我拥有最高地位的航空公司—用我现在已经没用的机票—他们不遗余力地把我送回家，而且不收额外费用，还升级了机票。(我确实去了两个城市，但我在“圣诞前夜”做到了。)
如果可能的话，在家办理登机手续，打印登机牌，并在手机上保留登机牌的电子副本（您丢失登机牌的可能性要小得多，您可以随时使用它获取打印副本，美国运输安全管理局使用电子登机牌比使用纸质登机牌花费的时间要少）。
如果你要去机场，在交通繁忙的任何时候都可以乘坐公共交通工具。从曼哈顿乘出租车到肯尼迪机场，在高峰时间需要一到两个小时。一列火车需要35分钟的时间。
如果可能的话，不要托运任何行李。托运行李任凭航空公司/机场/海关摆布。相比之下，随身携带的话，你会很灵活，如果你卡住了，你可以转机，去酒店通宵时随身携带所有的东西。

4) If at all possible DON'T check in any baggage. You're at the airline's / airport's / customs' mercy with a checked-in bag. In contrast, with a carry-on you're nimble, you can switch planes, switch routes, go to hotels overnight if you get stuck and have all your stuff with you.
5) Be nice to the airline staff. Be talkative. Be friendly. To the check-in agent, the gate agents, the stewardesses. They will appreciate that you're trying to make their day better - if nothing else you'll get good karma.
6) Always ask if you can 'buy an upgrade' if you're in economy or business class. Try to do this after you've done 3: 50% of the time you'll be told 'no', 25% of the time you'll be given an an absurd price, 15% of the time you'll be given a reasonable price, 10% of the time you'll get a free upgrade.
7) If you travel frequently, invest in lounge access. It doesn't matter that you don't need the lounge to pass the time, you'll need it when you need to change a flight. I recently missed a flight (because I woke up late), and through the aid of a 2 helpful lounge staff in 2 different cities I was on the next flight out even though both flights were officially 'full'.
8) Relax! Travel is stressful. Anxiety and anger won't get you there any faster.
善待航空公司的员工。对值机代理、登机口代理、空姐表现得健谈和友好。他们会感激你在努力让他们的日子过得更好—如果没有别的事情，你会得到好的因果报应。
如果你坐的是经济舱或商务舱，一定要问你是否可以“升舱”。尝试3次之后：50%的时候你会被告知“不可以”，25%的时候你会得到一个不合理的价格，15%的时候你会得到一个合理的价格，10%的时候你会得到一个免费升舱服务。
如果您经常旅行，请在休息室使用权限上投资。你如果不需要休息室来打发时间，这并不重要，当你需要换机时，你需要休息室。我最近错过了一次航班（因为我起床晚了），在两个不同城市的两名候机室工作人员的帮助下，我乘坐了下一次航班，尽管两次航班都是“满员”。
放松点！旅行是有压力的。焦虑和愤怒不会让你更快到达目的地。

Carry pepper spray with you. Once you use it, you'll know how helpful it is.
Save your water bottles. You can always refill them in hospitals.
If you want to eat at restaurants, visit during closing time. Prices are half then.
Dont waste money on deodorants. Use vinegar.
Always carry a pocket knife and a lighter. In airports, make sure they are not in your hand luggage.
Use devices with higher internal memory. Sometimes you lose SD cards.
People forget how important a pen is. Always carry 2 ball point pens with you. It can even serve as a defensive weapon.
Stuff all your small accessories inside your socks. That way you'll never lose them.
Try your best to keep your expensive belongings in your hand luggage. You never know when the airport might lose your baggage.

Leena Pathma, Lived a little. Messed up a lot. Enjoyed every bit of it.
If you want help, ask store clerks. They may not be able to communicate well with you, but they may be able to find someone who can, and you don’t have to worry about them trying to rip you off.
Keep petty cash in your pocket, and always pay from that stash. Keep some backup money in your backpack or luggage, but when potential thieves see that you’re pulling money out of your pocket, they’ll be less interested - or they might only steal a small sum.
Wear sunglasses if you can. When you’re in an unfamiliar place you tend to look around a lot. There are people who are able to tell if you’re a foreigner at first glance. Hiding your eyes makes you look more sure of yourself, and you’ll be a less likely target for people hoping to benefit off a lost and confused tourist.
Roll your clothes. You’d be surprised at how much space that saves.
Leave photocopies of your passport with people back home. For security and emergency situations.
Get a local number. It’s waaaay cheaper to use mobile data with a local sim card than on roaming.
Dress down. Don’t try too hard to stand out, especially if you’re in a poor neighbourhood. You’re only inviting trouble.
Print out the name and address of the place you’re staying at - along with your host’s phone number (if any). Especially useful when you’re going where people don’t speak your language.
Take a picture of your luggage. It’s come in handy for me before.
If you’re visiting a country with a different language, avoid restaurants that have a menu in your native tongue/English. These are tourist traps.
When someone approaches you on the street asking for/offering something, smile, shake your head, and walk away. Even if you feel pity for someone, being generous here will only lead to you being followed for a few streets by others who want your money.
That’s all I can think of right now. Oh, and, enjoy the trip!
如果你需要帮助，请询问店员。他们可能无法与你很好地沟通，但他们可能会找到一个可以沟通的人，你不必担心他们试图欺骗你。
在你的口袋里放一些零用现金，然后总是用这些钱付账。在你的背包或行李里放一些备用的钱，但是当潜在的小偷看到你从口袋里拿钱时，他们就不会那么感兴趣了或者他们可能只偷一小笔钱。
如果可以的话，戴上太阳镜。当你在一个陌生的地方时，你往往会四处张望。有些人一眼就能看出你是不是外国人。隐藏你的眼神会让你看起来更自信，你也不太可能成为那些希望从迷路和迷茫的游客身上获益的人的目标。
把你的衣服卷起来。你会惊讶于这样节省了不少空间。
把你的护照复印件留给家里的人，用于安全和紧急情况。
获取本地号码，用本地sim卡使用移动数据比漫游更便宜。
穿朴素的衣服，不要过于突出，特别是如果你在一个贫穷的社区，否则你只会招来麻烦。
打印出你住的地方的名称和地址，以及主家的电话号码（如果有的话）。当你去一个人们不会说你的语言的地方时特别有用。
给你的行李照张相。它以前对我很有用。
如果你要去一个使用不同语言的国家，避免去那些说你母语/英语菜单的餐馆，这些是旅游陷阱。
当有人在街上向你索要/提供东西时，微笑，摇头，然后走开。即使你同情某人，在这里慷慨大方也只会导致你被其他想要你钱的人跟踪几条街。
这就是我现在能想到的。哦，祝你旅途愉快！

My favorite travel hack right now is to book one-way tickets instead of round-trip. Instead of searching for only round-trip tickets, search for one-way there and one-way back, which is sometimes a lot less expensive.
Second favorite all-time travel hack - always browse in hidden, “incognito mode”. Sites like Kayak always track your behavior and if you return a number of times to search for the same trip, they will increase the price knowing that you are more likely to be very interested in booking.
Third favorite travel hack - do not travel internationally in the Summer. Wait until after labor day, where the flights are much less expensive and the crowds start to dissipate as the kiddos go back to school.
我现在最喜欢的旅行技巧是预订单程票而不是往返票。与其只搜索往返票，不如分开搜索往返的单程票，这有时要便宜得多。
第二个历来最受欢迎的旅行技巧—一直隐藏浏览—“隐姓埋名模式”。像Kayak这样的网站总是跟踪你的行为，如果你多次返回来搜索同一次旅行，他们会提高价格，因为你更可能对预订感兴趣。
第三个最受欢迎的旅行技巧—夏天不要开启国际旅行。等到美国劳动节（9月的第一个星期一）之后，航班就便宜多了，那时孩子们回到学校，人群开始散去。
Second favorite all-time travel hack - always browse in hidden, “incognito mode”. Sites like Kayak always track your behavior and if you return a number of times to search for the same trip, they will increase the price knowing that you are more likely to be very interested in booking.
Third favorite travel hack - do not travel internationally in the Summer. Wait until after labor day, where the flights are much less expensive and the crowds start to dissipate as the kiddos go back to school.

Eat where locals eat, saves much money.
Eat only where locals wait in queue, never where no local is.
Eating no meat is much safer.
Have a small bag of nuts with you as emergency food.
Eating is much saver at street cookers, because you can see how clean it is.
Western chains like Kentucky Chicken, Mc Donalds, etc have clean, french toilets and breakfast (even in China)
在当地人吃饭的地方吃饭，可以节省很多钱。
只在当地人排队的地方吃饭，不要在没有当地人的地方吃饭。
不吃肉更安全。
随身携带一小袋坚果作为应急食品。
吃路边摊要省钱得多，因为你可以看到它有多干净。
肯塔基鸡、麦当劳等西方连锁店都有干净的法式风格厕所和早餐（即使在中国也是如此）

Arriving at airport, port, busstop, etc be slow and let all others run.
Arriving in a new country first, book your first night in advance. It saves you nerves after a long flight. Especially arriving in dark or night is stressful. Same with your last night before a flight.
Asking for direction in China: look to people, if they look back you can walk to them and ask. Otherwise they will completely ignore you or run away, because they cant speak english and fear to loose their face.
Asking for any help in China (if you are male): Ask female teens or tweens with glasses. They usually speak english and are friendly and eager to help. And get a selfie with for as thank you.
Have a pen and notepad with you to sketch what ever you need, if you dont speak the local language.
到达机场、港口、公共汽车站等时要慢下来，让其他所有人都跑。
到达一个新的国家，首先提前预订第一晚酒店。长途飞行后，它可以让你省心。尤其是在深夜时分到达，（达到后第一晚）压力很大，这和你坐飞机前的最后一晚一样。
在中国问路:你拿着纸质地图，看着人们，如果他们回头看你，你可以走过去问他们。否则，他们会完全忽视你或逃跑，因为他们不会说英语，害怕丢脸。
在中国寻求帮助（如果你是男性）：向戴眼镜的十几岁或十几岁的女性寻求帮助。他们通常会说英语，而且很友好，乐于助人，然后合拍一张以示感谢。
如果你不会说当地语言，随身携带一支笔和一个记事本，以便随时写出你需要的东西。

Check out what the local scams are. Every region has its favourites.
Usually other western travellers help you, if you are in trouble. You are not alone.
If you are on a very tight budget, ask an Israeli for advice and help.
Police isnt always your friend. Strongly depends on the country and overall wealth. Ask in a hotel for advice - go to police or not.
Trust your gut.
看看当地的骗局是什么，每个地区都有自己的”特色“骗局。
如果你有困难，通常其他西方旅行者会帮助你，你并不孤单。
如果你的预算非常紧张，向以色列人寻求建议和帮助。
警察并不总是你的朋友。很大程度上取决于国家和整体财富。不管去不去警察局，都可以在旅馆里征求意见。
相信你的直觉。
