Flying Smart: Everything You Wanted to Know About Flying (Abroad) but Were Afraid to Ask (For Fear of Sounding Like a Bumpkin)

For the 50 million Americans who will travel abroad this year-- from college students to the business traveler, from families & children to senior citizens--FLYING SMART by Zalin Grant is a must. This easy-to-read, highly personal guide to international travel has all the folksy good humor of Garrison Keillor combined with the sharp eyed reporting of Dan Rather. Once a journalist for TIME Magazine & The New Republic & author of four books, Zalin Grant shows the reader how to fly smart, sprinkled with his own adventures while visiting 80 countries over the past 30 years. LIBRARY JOURNAL, in a laudatory pre-publication review, says, "there is much to learn for those who have never flown & even something for veteran travelers." For example: * Why is Friday the 13th the best time to fly? * Why is it better to have tacky looking luggage? * When should you REALLY leave for the airport? * How to avoid the "change money" rip-off. * What to eat before you fly. * Somebody stole my passport! What to do. * Do you REALLY need all those clothes? * And much, much more. Not only is Zalin Grant a world traveler with lots of exciting stories to tell, he is also a good son. FLYING SMART was privately written for his mother--she had never stepped on a plane in her whole life--who was coming to visit him & his wife, Claude, in Paris. If you're planning on taking a trip abroad, FLYING SMART tells you everything you need to know. Direct orders: $12 + $3 shipping & handling - Pythia Press, 11206 Wedge Drive, Reston, VA 22090.
