Automotive Minute: Atlanta’s Phoenix Parking Solutions adapts CDC guidelines to valet parking industry

  As restaurants and shopping centers gradually open up and expand services, one less-often thought of aspect of the industry is having to adapt its entire business model. Valet parking companies can't simply offer to-go services or limit the number of people shopping at any one time.  According to the American Public Transportation Association, traveling by public transportation was 10 times safer per mile than traveling by automobile in 2019. However, with the influx of Covid-19 cases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shifted its guidance on using public transportation, even listing it as one of the riskier behaviors for transmission of the disease.  Data published by Apple Maps shows requests for transit information continues to remain low while driving information is continuing to gain steam, indicating that more people are taking to the road instead of opting for public transportation.

travel essentials for your carry-on

  No matter where you are traveling to – preparation is the key to a successful trip. Making a checklist of what should go in your carry-on might sound pedantic but once you are on that plane there’s no going back! It’s all about priorities –  pack all the necessities before you start adding in leisure items like your favorite books or video games. Size matters, when picking the perfect carry-on bag. Go by the standard size recommended by airlines (which is 14 x 9 x 22 inches). Don’t be shortsighted; light, durable, and practical should always win over cheap and trendy.

top tips for hassle-free travel

  1.     Check in online when possible Most airlines will allow you to check-in online before you’ve even reached the airport. In many cases, you have a 48- or 24-hour window before your flight in which you can check-in with utter ease online. 2.     Download the airline app Nowadays, many of the world’s major airlines have apps that their passengers can download. It’s worth simply checking the app store to see if your particular airline has one just for you. The apps will show you a range of information, including whether there are any flight delays or cancellations. 3.     Leave yourself (more than) enough time Remember, catching a flight can be stressful enough as it is without having to deal with an impending time constraint. Of course, you should check online to see how early you have to arrive for your flight. Once you know that, we’d suggest leaving just a little earlier than you think you need to. You must leave room for human error! Searches related to parking tips

Make sure that you have the essentials.

  Before you even dream of leaving the house, you need to do this. There are certain things, such as your passport and tickets that you simply can’t travel without. If you’re heading to a country in which you will need a visa, you need to make sure that you have a hard copy of this as well. (Often enough a notification is attached to your passport stating that you have a visa, but it’s still worth taking a copy of your own.)

Avoid weighing yourself down

  When it comes to travelling you may not realise the impact your suitcase has on your journey. Jetting off on holiday is so much easier if you are a minimalist packer or opt for a super lightweight case. If you’re packing 30 kilos and don’t have the biceps of The Rock, travelling through the airport will be an effort. Choose a lightweight case with 8 wheel 360 degree technology and the stressful days of lugging your bags through the airport to the gate will be over. Going lightweight means you can also benefit from more weight allowance, perfect for packing those holiday essentials and the less likely you are to be charged excess baggage. Or travel light with just a cabin size case and you’ll be able to get about so much more easily and won’t have to wait at the luggage carousel on arrival, giving you that little bit of extra time to enjoy your holiday.
