Herewith, DailyCandyâ€s travel commandments.

Donâ€t pay for luggage carts. Walk outside and grab one that someone left curbside.

Wear socks or be forced to walk through the metal detector barefoot.

If you order coffee in your hotel room, ask for it in a to-go cup. Itâ€s a much bigger serving, especially if cappuccino or latte.

Buy your own water at the nearest convenience store. Youâ€re a true sucker if you pay for the bottles in the room.
