For high frequency travellers, the romance of airports, luggage carousels and living from a suitcase does not last for long. While you can't control the length of the check-in queue, or the quality of the inflight dinner menu, there are plenty of other things you can do to prepare yourself for regular business travel. 1. Stay healthy - Given that flying involves being in a confined, air-conditioned space, with a large amount of people, for an extended period of time, it's not surprising that your chance of contracting a cold or flu is exponentially heightened. To minimise your chance of getting sick, aim to keep yourself as healthy as possible in the lead up to your trip, drink lots of water (avoid dehydrating alcohol and caffeine) and be sure to get ample amounts of both movement and sleep.

Hands up all those who remember the old E111 medical forms you were supposed to have if you travelled in Europe? I can see all those blank faces!
Well, great news is that it doesn't matter any more. The E111 form was replaced at the beginning of January 2006 by a new European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
This EHIC is valid for up to 5 years and entitles you to the same level of medical care in the country you're travelling in, as would be enjoyed by the residents of that country. The card covers discounted and free medical care including emergency treatment, and applies to all the EEC countries plus Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. But be aware that the treatment you're entitled to might not include all the treatments you get free of charge under the National Health Service here in Britain.
Nevertheless, we believe that it's wise to carry a EHIC as it could save you time, money and a great deal of hassle if you're unlucky enough to need medical attention. It can cut through some of the inevitable red tape you'd be faced with if you were relying just on the medical provisions of your travel insurance policy.
