In some countries where the trains don't have gates you can usually do one of the following:>riding the first few stops for free by pretending to be on the wrong train when the ticket inspector comes by and getting off a the next stop "to catch the right train">riding the last few stops for free by buying a ticket for a shorter distance and actively seeking out the ticket inspector at the beginning of the trip>ride on sold-out trains with no ticket or a ticket for a later train and not speaking the local language or EnglishNever pay for a toilet in a city, head to the nearest upscale mall instead and use theirs.Office buildings usually have a shower room in the basement somewhere, sneaking in while dressed in workout clothes and a duffel bag is easier than you think.
No need to buy water at airports, bring an empty bottle and fill it up after the checkpoint.If your flight is overbooked (i.e. the airline does not sell any more tickets for the flight) and you aren't in a rush, ask the gate agent about volunteering for a later flight: You can get cash, vouchers and even hotel stays for just waiting.You can ask for seconds on long-distance flights with meal service, if they have leftover trays, they'll bring them to you after the main service.
>>2654600Buy duty free at airport and ask for a bag (non alcoholic so they don't seal it). Then put some of your luggage in there to max out your '''personal item'''.
