4. Use their loyalty to a certain brand to get better service and some extra benefits
Being loyal sometimes can come in handy and has its perks. Whether it's to a certain chain of hotels or an airline that you always fly with, it's great to play the loyalty card to get yourself some perks. This could range anywhere from being upgraded to a better room for free or very little charge, getting a full refund for last minute cancellations or getting moved to business class in a flight.

If you're a frequent flyer, you probably have the strategy down to the science and glide through airport security with swiftly and with ease, but the same can't be said about everyone else. It's best to avoid groups who are most likely to take longer at security checkpoints like the elderly, families with young children, and large groups.
11. For times when the phone battery is running low, and there is no available plug, consider the airport TV's USB port
