常在旅途中奔波的管理人士又为我们的旅行贴士系列新增了一个续篇。苏西•艾理斯(Susie Ellis)是全球性水疗网站SpaFinder, Inc.的总裁，她经常要到全球各地出差旅行。
乘坐飞机的频率：我通常每个月坐两次飞机。大约每个季度搭乘一次国际航班。
旅行的目的地：你能想像到的任何地方！
忠诚卡计划：美国运通卡(American Express)积分和美国航空(American Airlines)忠诚卡。我现在对所谓的“忠诚”和忠诚卡计划不像以前那么狂热了。对我来说，方便更重要。
最喜欢的机场：任何我能停留4小时而且能很快把时间消磨掉的机场。良好的购物环境、水疗服务和无线上网通常是关键因素，也就是说，像新加坡和吉隆玻这类较大型的机场都不错。我还喜欢法兰克福机场，在这里，我能买到多味腊肠和德国土豆沙拉！
各地最好的酒店：四季酒店(Four Seasons)和文华东方酒店(Mandarin Oriental)一直是我所到之处的理想选择。
从机场到市区最愉快的旅程：东京成田机场到市区的成田特快：迅速、便捷、不堵车。
推荐航空公司：对我的飞行计划来说最方便的那一家，而且有良好的安全记录。
最佳航空食品：新加坡航空(Singapore Airlines)和阿联酋航空(Emirates)。
最舒适的飞机座椅：任何能够完全平放的座椅。
亚洲最好的咖啡：我喝的咖啡不多。我喝过的最好的咖啡是在瑞典。
在旅途中保持精神焕发的最佳贴士：在到达目的地后尽早享受一次按摩服务，最好是在数小时内。
如何克服时差：抵达目的地后就去享受按摩服务，在白天的时候出去晒太阳，这些都有助于调整生物钟。尽管我不是经常喝咖啡，但我会在下了国际航班后的第一个早晨来上一杯。
如何获得升舱机会：唉，当我还年轻的时候，因为各种各样的理由，会比较容易获得升舱的机会。现如今想要升舱的最好办法就是自己掏钱买。
旅途必备的小玩意：我在Brookstone买的眼罩。它能遮挡全部光线，又能在面部和眼罩之间留下足够的空间，因此不会弄花我的妆容。
最好的行李箱：好吧，也许在行李箱的问题上，我变得有些势利眼，但是，自从我丈夫给我买了几个路易威登(Louis Vuitton)手提箱，我就发现自己总能得到更好的服务。
最佳打包贴士：利用从洗衣店收回的装衣袋把你不想弄皱的衣物分隔开。这个方法行之有效，就算是用来打包亚麻质地的衣服也不会起皱。
旅行贴士101：用积极的态度去想，一切会变得有趣。穿透气的衣服（也就是自然纤维制成的衣服）。我总是随身携带一件夹克和一条围巾以防天气变冷，身上则穿短袖衫，以防天气变热。记得要带袜子！

Another in our series on travel tips from executives who are often on the road.
Susie Ellis
President, SpaFinder, Inc.
As president of SpaFinder, an online site for spas around the world, Susie Ellis travels the globe.
How often up in the air: I usually travel by air twice a month. Internationally, roughly once a quarter.
Areas of travel: Just about everywhere imaginable!
Loyalty schemes: American Express points and American Airlines. I am not as rabid about 'loyalty' and loyalty programs as I used to be. Convenience is more important to me these days.
Favorite airport: Any airport where I can spend four hours and the time goes quickly. Good shopping, spa services and Wi-Fi are usually the key — i.e. larger airports like Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, etc. I also appreciate Frankfurt, where I can get bratwurst and German potato salad!
Best hotel in the region: Four Seasons and Mandarin Oriental are consistently great choices almost everywhere I travel.
Best journey from airport to city: Narita Express from the airport to Tokyo; fast and no traffic jams.
Preferred carrier: The one that is the most convenient for my flight schedule—and has a good safety record.
Best airline food: Singapore Airlines or Emirates.
Most comfortable airplane seats: Any that go completely flat.
Best coffee in Asia: I don't drink much coffee. The best coffee I have ever experienced was in Sweden.
Best tip for staying fit on the road: Get a massage as soon as possible after arrival — i.e. within hours, preferably.
How to beat jetlag: The arrival massage and getting out into the sunshine during the day to help kick in the circadian rhythms. Even though I don't drink coffee regularly, I do have a cup the first morning after an international flight.
How to get an upgrade: Alas, when I was younger, it was easier for a variety of reasons. These days the best way to get an upgrade is simply to purchase one.
Essential travel gadgets: The eye mask I purchased at Brookstone. It blocks out 100% of the light and gives me enough space/room (between the mask and my face), so it doesn't mess up my makeup.
Best luggage: Ok, perhaps I have become a bit of a luggage snob, but ever since my husband bought me some Louis Vuitton suitcases I have found that I get better service.
Best packing tip: Use the plastic that comes back with your clothes from the cleaner to separate anything you don't want to get wrinkled. It works so well that I can even pack linen without it getting wrinkled!
Travel tip 101: Have a positive attitude that this is going to be fun. Wear breathable clothes [natural fibers]. I always have a jacket and a scarf in case it gets cold and wear something short-sleeved in case it gets hot. Always bring socks!
