A WEEK OF WINTER TRAVEL: A SWIFT ARRIVAL

From seasoned traveler Mr. MATTHEW MONEYPENNY comes the following tip for breezing through one’s arrival in an international airport: “Keep a copy of your business card inserted in your passport on the same page as your picture. It sends a hint to customs and immigration that you really are traveling for business, hence reducing the chances of luggage inspections or other unnecessary delays when returning home or entering a foreign country.” Another perspective upon reaching one’s destination comes via Messrs. VIKTOR HORSTING and ROLF SNOEREN, of the venerable fashion house VIKTOR & ROLF, who remind: “‘Travel is only glamorous in retrospect,’ PAUL THEROUX once said, and we couldn’t agree more. That is why it is the arrival that matters, not the journey.”
