Riding in Style: Ease the Burden of Travel




There are times in every modern man’s life that he will be faced with the daunting task of traveling for long distances. Whether it’s for business or pleasure, it isn’t always the most fun you’ll ever have in your life. The truth is that traveling can be an exercise in testing your patience and endurance. And some of us have a short fuse, as I’m sure you can attest to. There are a few ways you can lighten the burden of travel, though, and make sure you ride in style. Let’s take a look at some of Grooming Mail’s favorite methods of travel.

 

Pie in the Sky

Plenty of people before you have had bad experiences on airplanes. There’s something pretty strange about being thousands of feet in the air; cramped, along with hundreds of strangers. But, in its essence, flying is the quickest way to travel. You can also find some pretty great deals on flights online. If you can afford to, always aim for first class. Once you’ve experienced it, there really isn’t any going back to economy seating thereafter.

Put Your Cap On It

Taxi cabs can be expensive. If you’re going to be traveling a long distance, you can bet that you’ll be stung with a pretty high fare come the end of the trip. However, if you’re traveling for business, your expenses will more than likely cover it. In that instance, why not go all out and really travel in style? There is perhaps no more luxury way to ride than in a executive chauffeuring limousine.

Yes, we know they can get pretty expensive, but they’re a favorite amongst business executives for a reason. They don’t only get you to and from your destination. Limos also provide you with plenty of legroom, privacy, and simple luxuries that you often take for granted. Many of them even come equipped with their own phone lines, so you’ll be able to make your business calls on the move.

Riding the Rails

Taking the train can be quite a polarizing experience. Sometimes, you’ll strike lucky and find yourself in a quiet cabin with plenty of room to maneuver. That isn’t always the case, though. There will be times that you’re crammed into your seat feeling as if your personal space is being violated to the tenth degree. If you want to experience the former, there are a couple of steps you can take in preparation.

I would always advise you to reserve a seat on our train. There is possibly nothing worse than getting on board and finding that all seats have been taken. This is especially true on long journeys. Nobody wants to stand for the entire duration of the trip, not least if you find yourself with a lot of luggage. It just so happens that we’ve covered the essentials for surviving long train journeys before, so check out that article for details.

These three options can be a little more expensive than just driving yourself, but they’re a hell of a lot less boring.
