How long a flight dictates travel in business/first class?
Here’s a sensible idea: Go online before you travel, tell your hotel what you need, and have it waiting on arrival. Affinia Hotels, which has such properties as the executive-suite Affinia 50 in New York and the new Affinia Chicago, has just introduced My Affinia, where guests can build a profile indicating what amenities or extras they want. Options include a fitness kit with hand weights, yoga mat and workout bands; a walking kit with iPod Nano, pedometer and city walking guide; a BYOB kit with a wine carrier and picnic blanket; your choice from a menu of six different pillows; cellphone or laptop chargers; grooming options including hair dryer diffusers and nail polish remover; a gel eye mask; an acoustic guitar, and a golf putter.
