A tip (also called a gratuity) is a voluntary extra payment made to certain service sector workers in addition to the advertised price of the transaction. Such payments and their size are a matter of social custom. Tipping varies among cultures and by service industry.
Some wise words of caution for travelers “in the unlikely event that this plane might crash…” there is something you can do to help yourself and increase your chances of surviving.
Wolfgang Riebe has written a great little book on traveling packed with tips and ideas that Speakers will love. Here’s another excerpt from 101 Travel Tips.
This is an extract from Wolfgang’s book about working on cruise ships as an entertainer and speaker.
Did you know that an estimated12,000 travelers are kidnapped every year? A recent speaking engagement in a foreign country started off with avoiding abduction at the airport. This serves as a timely reminder to us all that as we drift in and out of interesting places, an occupational hazard is personal safety, and it’s surprisingly easy to get complacent about this. 
North American’s are spoiled by most of our airline’s baggage policies. My hub airline, Northwest (NWA), for example, allows us to take on two carry-ons in business class and check in 2 large bags (a third for Platinum Elite members). The large bags can weigh up to (34 Kgs) 70 pounds each. That’s 140 pounds (68 kgs) of checked-in baggage. 
Water served on airliners is not filtered and rarely tested. When independently tested, all kinds of bacteria are found.
