HOW TO USE THE "QUEUEING THEORY" IN TRAVEL TO SAVE YOU TIME AND LONG LINES

Have you heard of the "QUEUEING THEORY" ?

You may not have known about it before, but it is one very important factor that can save you time in travel, and make your travel experience ever more enjoyable.

A simple definition of the "Queueing Theory" is the mathematical study of waiting lines, or queues. This is a model that is constructed so that queue lengths and waiting times can be predicted.

Why is this important, because do you really want to spend most of your time waiting in lines at the airport or waiting in lines in order to go to your room at a hotel?

There are some simple things you can do to avoid these lines using the right techniques.

Timing is the most important factor you should consider to avoid standing in lines.

Airports tend to be less crowded between 11 am and 3 pm. The research over the years has been done , so book your flights departures and arrivals between these times if you want to avoid long lines.

How you pick a security TSA line at the airport is another factor you should consider before entering into one line or another.

First look at fellow your other passengers. Do they have lots of bags they are checking in. This line will be slow because of this. 

PICK A SECURITY TSA LINE THAT HAS THE FEWEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH BAGS

MY "RULE OF THUMB" - DO NOT GO BY THE LENGTH OF THE LINE AT ALL, BUT THE NUMBER OF BAGS OF PEOPLE IN THAT LINE.

Second look at how many TSA security officers are at the computer monitors. If there are two or more, chances are they are training one of them, so every bag will get stopped.

PICK A LINE WITH ONLY ONE TSA SECURITY OFFICER

Hotels also can be very crowded in the morning hours 8 am to 11 am and between 3 pm and 6 pm. This is because people are checking out and checking in at the hotel the most at these times. 

The more expensive and luxury hotels have a separate concierge desk area. They handle special services for quests like dinner reservations, tours, and show tickets for all quests.

Most people do not know that the concierge desk does check in guests to the hotel besides the main front desk of the hotel. Most people only think that this is available for the high end quests, but they are wrong. In most cases the wait to check in is faster, and the service is better. 

Always look to see if the hotel has a concierge desk area, and go there first to avoid the long lines at the main front desk. You will be surprised at how well they treat you compared to the front desk.

Now you know about the "Queueing Theory" and how to use it to your advantage in saving time and avoiding long lines.

                               
LAS VEGAS SECRETS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE BOOKING

The best hotel in Vegas is usually the newest one just built. The old hotels in the city do not age very well. The resort you may have visited a few years ago, may not be the best there is now. So that cheap hotel in Vegas, is cheap for a reason.
Thursday is not the best time to come to Vegas. It is the new Friday when all the crowds come, so it is very busy. The best times to come is late Sunday evening, but better time is Monday and leave by Thursday morning.
Never raise your voice or yell at the staff in hotels. You may complain if your service is not right, but NEVER NEVER YELL. If you do you will see security coming at you from all directions, and you will not be happy with the results.
Resort fees are the new extra price you pay for coming to Vegas. Hotels without resort fees are a thing of the past in vegas. They add up to an additional $ 30.00 per night depending on the hotel. This fee is mandatory and you must pay. Some resorts offer freebies or discounts or free shuttle, but the resort fee everyone pays. You do not pay these fees before arriving only after you stay and get ready to leave will they be added to your bill.

The Adobe Digital Index analyzes airline and hotel price trends including a formula that ensures the best flight fares. This report breaks down data from 2014 to 2016 looking at over 15 billion visits to US travel,airline, and hotel sites.
According to the Adobe Digital Index on average the best time to buy domestic flights is around 90 DAYS BEFORE DEPARTURE, but that can change substantially during big summer holidays.
For summer holidays here are the best times to book:

MEMORIAL DAY - 80 days before
JULY 4TH - 40 days before
LABOR DAY - 40 days before

According to Adobe Index "To determine whether the price you are seeing for any domestic round-trip airfare is a good deal , multiply the round trip miles (airport to airport) by $ .032, and add $ 230 to get the average price. For international round-trip airfare, multiply the round -trip miles by $ .08 and add $200."
This formula will give you a better formula for determining if the price quoted is a good deal or not. If it is not wait until a better deal comes along within the time frames above.

SHOULD YOU GIVE DISCOUNTS?

I always provide the best value, quality, and service to my clients at a very competitive and reasonable price, but my clients still want me to give them discounts.

I always try to be transparent in my price quotes based on my clients needs and budget, and prefer not to waste my time on price negotiations, because I have already given them a quote that best fits the needs of my clients in the first place based in the information my client has given me initially.

Sometimes my clients ask me to do the work for free, which you never want to do because you are a professional and you are in business to make a living and service your clients, and you can not survive by giving your time and effort and getting no return on your investment.

There is a price everyone has to pay in return for excellent value, quality, and service.

Some clients just like haggling and assuming that discounts can be freely given if they ask for them. The problem with this attitude is that these clients assume that I am overpaid, and that it is possible to get the cost down if they ask for them. In other words, they assume that I have a lack of integrity, or am asking too much.

I have found a great way to deal with these discounts requests.

                            I ASK MY CLIENTS “WHY"

I have not directly answered YES or NO , but have send the question back to the client to explain their reason for asking this question.

They might assume that I am so desperately needing the sale that I am willing to be underpaid in order to get their business. They might say “Do you have a special price for your friends and family?” I would reply “I have many friends and my fee is what they pay, I assume you want me to treat everyone equally and fair don’t you?”

Usually the clients will say “We were just wondering”, and they proceed to pay the regular fee I charge and have no objections to it at all.

The important key here is to do your homework on value , quality, and service and be competitive so your fees are reasonable considering the services you are offering to your clients.

I usually only give discounts to clients you have done business with me before, and to clients who refer other clients who do business with me. This is a benefit and reward for doing business with me in the first place.

Notice I do not say “NO” to people who ask me for a discount, I merely ask them “WHY” because it is quite possible that they have a good reason. I alway want to know what that reason is , so I can respond in a positive way to answer their question.

The very important factor to realize is that offering discounts at the first point of contact with your new clients is not a good reason to offer them since you have always researched value, quality, and service and the price is competitive and follow these guidelines.

Your business should have clear, transparent, and fair pricing and should apply the same rules and discounts to all your clients.

Once your clients realize your business has their needs at heart, they will not ask the question “ CAN YOU GIVE ME A DISCOUNT”
