When I go on a business trip, I always confirm the flight on the internet before I leave. I live about twenty minutes drive from the airport, so it’s easier for me to take a taxi to the airport than to drive my own car and pay for parking. I like to arrive quite early when I fly so that I don’t have to queue at the check-in desk for a long time.

Because I arrive early, I usually have time to do some shopping before they call the flight and I go through passport control.

While I wait in the departure lounge I read a newspaper or magazine. I always like to watch other passengers and imagine why they are travelling and what kind of life they have.

Finally we are told to board the plane and during the flight I usually relax and enjoy the in-flight entertainment. Unless I’m really tired, in which case I try to get some sleep until the plane lands and I get to my destination.
