Maybe you are planning a romantic weekend, or possibly, you are going on a long business trip. Perhaps you are flying off to Hawaii or maybe you’ve rented a gorgeous chalet in the snow? Wherever you are jet-setting off to – make sure that you pack your adult toys well to avoid any embarrassing (and possibly very public) situations.
So, how do you pack adult toys? Firstly, you need to remove the batteries. Even though you may think that your vibrator is difficult to turn on, a little shift in the contents of your luggage could easily knock the control to the ON position. You really don’t want to explain vibrating luggage to security personnel or customs officers. Dildos are less of a problem in this respect as they are usually made of silicone / jelly / rubber and have no metal or mechanical parts.
Place your dildos, penis-rings, or vibrators in clear plastic baggies. Airport personnel routinely go through luggage so if you’re chosen at random for a luggage inspection, you’ll be glad your toys are zip-locked away. Customs staff always wear plastic gloves, but you really don’t want their gloves, which have been touching everyone else’s personal items, to touch your intimate toys too. Do the employees and yourself a favour by putting each item in a clear plastic zip baggie to keep everything hygienic.
Always place your vibrators in your checked luggage. This just removes you from the situation a little bit. If you bring a vibrator in your carry-on luggage, well, you are just asking for an embarrassing situation to occur.
Bear in mind also that vibrators are not permitted in certain countries – especially if they are shaped like a phallus. If you take one in your checked-in luggage – you may have to go through the red channel and declare it – and it may be confiscated. One such country where ‘obscene items’ are illegal is Thailand. There, you might get away with importing a traditional slimline vibrator and pass it off as a ‘massager’ for your sore back – however, if your vibe is penis-shaped, expect that it will be confiscated!
In the USA, Texan customs officers will not be sympathetic if you arrive with a suitcase full of vibes – to own more than three such ‘marital aids’ is currently illegal in that state. Therefore, do a quick Google check of what the laws are in the particular state or country you are travelling to.
Finally, don’t travel with your favourite or with your top of the range expensive toy. It is best that you take along an inexpensive alternative or buy something completely new especially for the trip. At sites like LoveTheRabbit.com you’ll find many vibratex rabbit vibrator articles, information, raves and reviews and links to stores that stock them.
This way, if your luggage is lost, or your strap-on dildo is confiscated or if your ‘bestest’ vibe breaks in transit – you will not have lost your favourite ‘friend’ or your most expensive toy. Bon voyage!

Even public transport operators who already use passenger surveys may not fully appreciate the multiple benefits that surveys can bring. Surveys are not only an efficient method for conducting market research that will help towards identifying any passenger dissatisfaction, they are also the perfect tool for measuring the effects of any improvements and can simultaneously help promote new initiatives to the customers using the service.
Establishing a Starting Point
When embarking on any change management programme it is always good practice to establish a base line before any changes are made. This baseline survey can serve four purposes, it will:-
- allow the proper targeting of investment
- allow measurement of the effect of change
- assist in the moral of those implementing change
- ensure that new issues are kept separate from the original plan and budget
Targeting Investment
There are many areas of any public transport system that can cause passenger dissatisfaction all of which need to be monitored to ensure that the service being provided meets, and where possible, exceeds, performance level targets.
Issues that can be of concern to passenger include:-
- safety and security
- punctuality
- fares and ticket types
- capacity and overcrowding
- quality and design of vehicle
- cleanliness
- facilities at stations and terminals
- facilities for passengers with disabilities
Often limited resources and budgets means that investment needs to be carefully planned and properly targeted.
Operators can use passenger surveys to confirm what their customers consider as the main issues. Through the analysis of passenger feedback the operator will be able to ensure that their improvement and investment plans are in line with passenger demands and concerns. Issues can be classified by priority and if they can be addressed in the short or long terms.
Some capital investment such as the building of new terminals, runways, laying new track or upgrading air traffic control or rail signalling equipment may take years to implement. However, the initial survey will almost certainly identify some main concerns that can be implemented almost immediately at a relative low cost.
Measuring Change
From having established a comprehensive programme from an initial survey the objectives for running periodic surveys are twofold.
One objective will be to confirm that passenger concerns have been addressed by any changes and initiatives that are implemented. A second objective will be to advertise and promote the initiatives that have been implemented and also inform and educate passengers of ongoing improvements and future plans.
If passengers can see that improvements have been made they can be more accepting of outstanding problems knowing that problems have at least been acknowledged and improvements are on the way.
Keeping Moral
Those implementing change can often develop a siege mentality. Passengers may be slow to appreciate any improvements as it can take time for the changes that are made to have a positive effect.
By monitoring passenger opinion and measuring the results against earlier surveys a successful change programme should see passenger issues change over time, some issues that were problems will no longer be raised.
Passengers will be slow to appreciate any progress and those working implementing change can become demoralised with criticism from what is often a very negative public. It is vital that a team implementing change can see clearly the effects of their efforts.
Identifying New and Old
In any long term change management programme issues can change over time. Events can happen that make what was important, no longer important and what wasn’t an issue, an issue.
A baseline survey will help ensure that the passengers concerns are chronologically documented. The needs of passengers is in constant flux, individual requirements change, low cost budget carriers now compete directly with luxury travel and even from the same sets of people there is a clear demand for both depending on whether their travel is for business or pleasure. Annual surveys will ensure that any changes in passenger attitudes are monitored.
Online Surveys Make It Easy
Online surveys can reach a broad cross section of any travelling public. They are quick to design and implement and they provide feedback in a format that is ready for detailed analysis. A main features of online surveys is their low cost and flexibility that allows operators to publish multiple surveys that will target individual groups who may have specific concerns.
Online passenger surveys will make it easy to collate important market research data and will also allow an operator to demonstrate that they have a genuine commitment towards improving levels of passenger satisfaction.
Passengers benefit by having a forum to raise issues and through regular surveys will begin to appreciate that their concerns are acknowledged and the operator is committed to investing and improving the service. The following are links to samples of Passenger Surveys

Passengers who are suffering can be very impatient that improvements are not instant and their negativity can cause those tasked with implementing change to become demoralised. It is vital that a team implementing change can see clearly the effects of their efforts.

In any long term change management programme issues can change over time. Events can happen that make what was important, no longer important and what wasn’t an issue, an issue.
The baseline survey will ensure that the passengers concerns are chronologically documented. The needs of passengers evolve over time, individual requirements change, fashion changes, life styles develop along with technology, low cost budget carriers now compete with luxury travel and there is a clear demand for both, in some cases even form the same set of people depending on whether their travel is for business or pleasure. Monthly surveys will ensure that any changes in passenger attitudes are monitored.
Online Surveys Make It Easy
Online surveys can reach a broad cross section of any travelling public. They are quick and easy to design and implement and they provide feedback in a format that is ready for detailed analysis. With features such as low cost and flexibility online surveys make it practical to run multiple surveys that are targeted at specific groups of passengers such as the business traveller or those who are disabled in some way.
Through online passenger surveys the operators can collate valuable market research data and demonstrate their pro-active commitment to passenger satisfaction.
The passengers themselves benefit greatly by having an effective channel to raise issues and through periodic surveys will begin to appreciate the operator’s goal to continually invest and improve the service. The following are links to samples of Passenger Surveys

Public transport operators who already use passenger surveys may not fully appreciate the multiple benefits that surveys can bring. Gathering market research is only one use for surveys, a second is the ability to measure the effectiveness of new initiatives as they are introduced and a third is to help promote the new initiatives to the customers.

Passenger surveys allow operators to identify those areas that are of most concern to their customers. Through the analysis of passenger feedback the operator will be able to ensure that their improvement and investment plans are in line with passenger demands and concerns. Issues can be classified into high and low priority, as well as long and short term plans.
Major capital investment such as the building of infrastructure for example new terminals, runways, laying new track or upgrading air traffic control or rail signalling equipment may take many years to implement.

Online Surveys Make It Easy
Online surveys can reach a broad cross section of any travelling public. They are quick to design and implement and they provide feedback in a format that is ready for detailed analysis. The low cost and flexibility of online surveys means that it is simple and practical to highly focus on the concerns of specific groups.
Through online passenger surveys the operators can collate valuable market research data and promote their commitment to passenger satisfaction.

I have come to the conclusion that going on one of those great luxury cruise ships is actually worth all the money as well as being a lot better than taking a plane there. Could it really be better than flying?
No hassle arriving fifty hours before so your bags can be checked, that is done quickly which is great you wont need to get up that early to get there as its all a lot quicker. As well as this there is no waiting to get to your destination as essentially as soon as you board the ship you are at your hotel room and can lie down and rest or jump straight into the pool.
There are also casinos, free room service, and bars to go to as soon as you step foot onto the ship. Free drinks are only available on planes if you are travelling long haul with one of the expensive airlines like BA or Virgin.
The best thing about it is you actually get to have legroom which is great compared to a plane! Welcome to a way of travelling without being squashed in for however many hours, go anywhere on the ship you can even take a jog on the jogging track.
Of course if something does happen all you have to do is get into a lifeboat rather than jump down a huge inflatable slide or worse die on impact. No real threat from terrorism on a cruise ship, not at the moment anyway! All you really need to worry about are pirates and that is only if you are near the pirate zones.
There is of course always the possibilty that a storm will occur and if that happens it won’t ruin the holiday just head downstairs for a nice dip in the pool or have a bite to eat!
I have to admit I love flying and I would never say cruise every year instead of flying to your favourite destination but going on a luxury cruise is nice every so often and with Regent Cruises (the one I went with) you are sure to have a better time than on an aeroplane.
Last week I returned to Glasgow from a short business trip to Frankfurt with a colleague.
On my return flight to Glasgow from Frankfurt last week I had first hand experience of a disturbingly drunk and unpleasant passenger.
We had just taken off from Frankfurt airport when a man who was seated about three rows in front of myself and my colleague left his seat and lurched drunkenly towards the lavatories. This was before the ‘fasten seatbelts’ light had been extinguished so the vigilant flight attendants immediately told him that he needed to return to his seat.
He wasn’t in the mood to be co-operative, clearly already seriously inebriated he became argumentative and aggressive with the tolerant flight attendants. Eventually he sat back down but as soon as he was able his finger was on the flight attendant call button and he was ordering more booze.
No more than 10 minutes into our homeward flight the belligerent, drunken European co-passenger was on his feet again, this time trying to make friends with some of his sober fellow passengers, none of whom showed any interest in talking to the man. Several times, as flight attendants passed his seat, he leaned over and tapped them on the backside. They were very firm in giving him warnings about his behaviour but it persisted until we landed at Glasgow.
There have been a number of high profile reports of worrying incidents in which drunk passengers have been responsible for putting the lives of themselves their fellow travellers at risk. In one incident a drunk male passenger tried to open the aircraft’s emergency door while they were at 30,000 feet. This resulted in the passenger being given a jail sentence.
In another recent incident a drunk woman, on a plane flying to Tenerife, hurled abuse at the flight attendants. She was handed a two month jail sentence for her unacceptable drunken behaviour.
Worrying incidents like these raise the question, ‘Is it ever acceptable to serve alcohol on aircraft?’
To save money on Glasgow airport parking I always go online and book in advance with Gosimply.com.
If you have recently taken a flight or plan to, chances are you have seen information on the air travel rules.These rules include a wide variety of different topics, issues, and items; however, perhaps, one is more important than the rest. That air travel ruleis the list of items that are prohibited from being taken on an airline, whether that ban only be for your carryon luggage or both your carryon luggage and checked baggage. Unfortunately, there are some mistakes that are made.At the time of checking you should be aware of what may happen if you forget to take off the prohibited item from your bag or do it intentenionally?
When it comes to prohibited items in airports, you will find that different consequences result. These consequences tend to depend on the airport you are in, the airline you are flying with, as well as the item that you were trying to get through security checkpoints. Essentially, if you were trying to sneak in a bottled water, the consequences would be far less than if you were trying to sneak in a gun, but there will still be consequences none the less.
The most common action taken, when it comes to trying to board an airplane with prohibited items, is that you will be pulled aside by airport securityor other airport staff. All bags, including checked luggage, are usually checked with you nearby. This is done to help ensure that no prohibited items are found. In the event that you are trying to store prohibited items, such as flammable objects, in your checked luggage, you will likely be asked to take the item to your car. In the event that you are unable to, you may have to take it off and give the item over to airport security. The same can be said for prohibited items in your carryon luggage.
In most of the cases, you will be provided some options as to what you wish to do with your banned items. That is why it is advised that you arrive at the airport in advance. Two hours early is often the recommended time. This will ensure that you are able to made additional accommodations, should you find that you are prohibited from taking some of your belongings aboard the airplane.As mentioned earlier, if you are not able to arrange accommodations for your belongings, you will have to return them to airport security. If you are like most other travelers you may be curious as to what happens with those items.
The items confiscated by airport security and what happens to those items will all depend in the airport in question. Each airport has their own way of dealing with confiscated items. It is not uncommon for these items to be taken, melted, and forever discarded; however, some airports are beginning to profit from the sale of prohibited items. A number of airports have sold these items, ranging from tools to lighters to scissors, themselves or with the assistance of an auction seller. Regardless of which action is taken, it is safe to say that you will no longer be able to recuperate your confiscated belongings.
In spite of just kissing your banned items goodbye, you will find that many airports have begun establishing onsite mail service centers. These mail service centers are ideal for travelers who would be unable to make additional arrangements for their items, such as returning them to their vehicles. With mail service centers, you will need to pay for the supplies, but you can easily have your items mailed to your home. However, it is important to remember, that like all airports, the postal service also has a list of prohibited items. These items most commonly include flammable objects, such as lighters.
Although you have a number of different choices, when it comes to taking care of your items that are banned from going past airport security checkpoints, it is probably best if you just leave those items as home. Reviewing the list of banned items, before you start packing for your trip, is the best way to ensure that you are not left having to turn over some of your belongings to airport security.
When it comes to air travel, a lot of focus is placed on airport security. While the majority of air travel rules are enforced in airports, there are other rules that are enforced in the air. To make the most out of your next business meeting or vacation, you are advised to familiarize yourself with those rules. Doing so will not only allow you to have a pleasant experience, but it will also prevent you from being involved in an unnecessary, but serious incident.
As you may have gathered from news reports, one of the biggest problems on airplanes today is uncooperative passengers. An uncooperative passenger can simply be one who needs to go to the bathroom and refuses to wait until it is safe to leave their seat. However, that passenger, along with many others, is largely unaware of the dangers of violating these important, but simple air travel rules. The first rule that you must follow is to follow all rules imposed by your airline. This means leaving your seat belt on until it is safe to remove it or staying in your seat until it is safe to move around.
It is also important that you cooperate with all airline employees, namely flight attendants. If they ask you to do something, such as remain in your seat, you are advised to listen to them.If you are not aware of the situation it is likely to get out of hand. A few insulting comments and you could be met at your next boarding gate by airport security or local authorities. Even if you do not consider yourself a threat to other passengers or flight attendants, confrontation in the air is taken seriously; very seriously.
Also it is advised that you not make any jokes, especially those that have the mention of a bomb or any other weapons. Although you may only be kidding, in today’s society, these jokes are taken seriously. In fact, it is advised that you refrain from using the words bomb, gun, or hijacking aboard an airplane. In the event that those words were overheard, whether they were taken out of context or not, they could cause you and other passengers a large hassle. This hassle often involves the de-boarding of the airplane and additional security checks.
As previously mentioned, there are serous consequences for violating these air travelrules. Even if it is proven that you are not a threat to yourself, the flight crew, or other passengers, you may still face prosecution. This prosecution may include disrupting the peace or inciting panic aboard an aircraft. Just because you know that you are not a threat, does not necessarily mean that everyone else knows the same thing. That is why you are advised to choose your words and your confront very carefully, especially at the time of flying.
The above mentioned in-flight air travelrules are just a few of the many that you must abide by. You will find that most of these rules are not well-kept secrets, in fact, many are simply common sense. If you would like to learn more about the rules enforced in-flight, you are advised to contact each airline directly or use the internet to your advantage. Go for a simple internet search and that should provide you the information that you were looking to obtain.
