9 Typical Myths About Travel And Tourism

6. Sleeping on the plane prevents jet lag

Jet lag is a disturbance caused by time zones, and unless your flight is at night in the country you are flying from, sleeping on the plane won’t prevent jet lag. There aren’t too many choices, but to allow the body to balance its biological clock and the perception of time on its own.

7. You shouldn’t fly to any country with a travel warning

Before you cancel the vacation, you’ve planned because of a travel warning, you should ask whether the warning is relevant to you. Travel warnings are temporary, relate to very specific areas and have different levels of threat. A short visit to the Travel Advisories page on the Bureau of Consular Affairs website will tell you everything you need to know.

8. Keep your money in a special wallet

It doesn’t matter which sophisticated and hidden purses you hide in your pants, it’s likely that whoever wants to steal your money will be successful in doing so. You can walk around with a wallet in your pocket as long as you are alert to your environment, but you should keep your passports and most of your money in your hotel safe, and only take the amount you think you’ll need for that day, and possibly a credit card or a charge card.

9. Duty-Free is Cheaper

A lot of people choose to purchase items such as alcohol or perfume at the duty-free because of the illusion of cheaper prices. I mean, how else can you explain the huge lines at the duty-free stores? In fact, apart from a few items in electronics, cigarettes, and alcohol, the prices in duty-free are the same and sometimes even more expensive than the prices of these items back home. It’s also worth checking the prices of alcohol, cigarettes, and electronics in the countries you’re flying to.
