TIPPING THE HOTEL MAID
Leave about a dollar a night at the end of your stay on the dresser or desk for the housekeeping staff. Leave more at an expensive hotel (over $100/night) or if they provided extra service. Leave lots more if you're leaving a mess.

PICKING YOUR BEVERAGES
Get the orange juice for free on the airplane and buy the coffee in the terminal after you land. OJ is pricier in the airport than decent coffee, and you'll certainly never find decent coffee in the air.

BLOODY MARY IN THE AIR
The flight attendant will give you the can of Bloody Mary mix as if it were a can of juice. Save the $5 and skip the vodka; it's not a big enough bottle that you'd notice it in your drink anyway.
