]]>The post Why Are Most Airplanes White? appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Temperature Control
The primary reason for painting airplanes white is to reflect sunlight. White surfaces reflect much more sunlight than darker ones, which absorb heat. Since airplanes spend most of their time above the clouds where they are fully exposed to sunlight, using white paint helps minimize the absorption of heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the aircraft.
Cost and Maintenance Efficiency
White paint also helps reduce operational costs. White planes are easier to keep cool, meaning less air conditioning is required. Additionally, any cracks, leaks, or damages on the exterior of an aircraft are easier to spot on a white background. This makes routine inspections more effective and maintenance easier.
Resale Value
Lastly, airlines often buy and sell aircraft from and to each other. A white airplane is like a blank canvas that makes it easier for the purchasing airline to paint their own livery without extensive repainting costs.

]]>A Change of Clothes
Say your bags go missing. While you wait for them, you may feel dirty after a long flight. As a result, it would be worthwhile to pack a spare set of clothes in your carry-on bag so that you can at least freshen up after you land.
Small Toiletries
Although too many liquids pose a problem, you should at least pack a toothbrush, toothpaste, and some deodorant in your carry-on bag. After all, if you have bad breath after napping on the plane or simply want to freshen up, such items come in handy. Again, make sure to keep in line with liquid requirements.
Portable Charger
While there are power outlets on many planes, you can’t be sure that you’ll definitely find one on your specific flight. Also, if your phone has a low battery as you’re charging through the airport, you probably won’t want to waste time searching for a power outlet. With a portable charger, you’ll never have to have these concerns again.

]]>The post Thinking About Traveling Through Japan by Train? Make Sure to Follow These Tips appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Invest in Japan Rail Pass
Buying a Japan Rail Pass is a great way to save money on traveling if you plan to visit more than one city in Japan. It is valid for six of the country’s biggest railway companies, and you won’t have to go through the hassle of buying tickets each time you want to hop on the train.
Try to Avoid Rush Hours
Trains in Japan can get crowded really fast during rush hours, considering that people in Japan are much more accustomed to using them than in most other countries in the world. If you have some leeway, try to avoid using trains from 7 am to 9 am and 5 pm to 7 pm.
Be on Time
One thing you can be certain of in Japan is that the trains will be there on time and they will leave the station when they need to. So make sure to be on time for your train trip, because even if you are a few minutes late, you will miss it.
Stock Up on Food and Drinks
You will be able to get food and drinks on a train, but you will have to pay a premium. Instead, stock up on food and drinks at convenience stores if your trip is going to last for a few hours. This will help you save money and have a bigger selection.

]]>The post Which Luggage Bag is Best for You? appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Suit Case
The benefit of a traditional suitcase is that you don’t have to carry it or hold it all of the time. The wheels on the case mean that you can roll it along as you move through an airport or train station, and this is generally less exhausting than lugging around a holdall or a backpack. However, if there are unavoidable stairs—or if you’re in a sudden rush to catch a flight or a train—a suitcase can become more of a hindrance than a help, as you will need to lift it and its hard exterior can make it much heavier than a softer holdall. A suitcase is a good option if you’re taking quite a lot with you on vacation, especially if it’s going into the hold.
Holdall
A holdall is a great option if you’re traveling through a smaller airport or train station, as carrying it long distances can get tiring. It also works well if you’re only going away for a few days, as most holdalls can’t carry that much luggage. Another plus is that they can be squashed down to fit into most airline’s cabin baggage requirements, so you can avoid paying for hold luggage if you pack sensibly.
(@bennett_winch)Backpack
If you know that you’ve got quite a walk between the airport and your hotel, or if you think you’ll need to move quickly through crowds, a backpack is a great option to carry your luggage. Once it’s on your back you should barely notice the weight, and like the holdall most can be squashed down to fit the cabin baggage requirements. Do be aware that if you’re intending to speed walk with your backpack on in a warmer climate, you can get very overheated. It’s also good to remember that museums and some shops won’t want you bringing it in, just in case some precious artifacts get knocked onto the floor.
