Staying effortless on the go: Smart travel tips from frequent flyers 

Published May 08, 2025 2:40 am

Some travelers live by the itinerary. Others embrace the unplanned. But the most seasoned ones know—it’s not just the destination that shapes the experience, it’s how seamlessly you move through it. 

For wellness advocate Bianca Elizalde, travel is a way to reset. It’s how she reconnects with herself and the world, often finding clarity in unfamiliar places and new environments. 

“Besides my family and children, there is nothing that awakens and inspires me more than being somewhere beyond my comfort zone,” she shares. 

Capturing these moments through her lens is part of the experience, and with strong, reliable data roaming, she can effortlessly share her journey while staying present.

Her tip: Be intentional with how you document. It’s easy to get caught up in taking photos and videos. Find the balance, capture what matters, but don’t miss the moments happening right in front of you. 

For interior designer Nix Alañon, peace of mind is essential. He’s hands-on when it comes to his home—not just in curation, but in its day-to-day upkeep and care. Yet when he’s away, he travels worry-free knowing that with just one call, he can arrange for trusted home services to manage routine maintenance or have someone care for his furbabies. 

It’s that thoughtful layer of support that lets him stay present and fully enjoy the journey. His mantra: Travel like you live—surrounded by thoughtful choices, with the essentials always taken care of. 

And then there are those who thrive on spontaneity. Content creator Katrina Loring-Bondoc planned a last-minute trip to Hong Kong to surprise her brother for his 18th birthday. 

“Planning on the go and making last-minute reservations was so easy,” she says. 

Her advice? Have the basics covered, like reliable travel support, so you can act quickly and enjoy the moment without second-guessing the details. Whether it’s booking last-minute restaurant reservations or making changes on the fly, having that kind of support lets her say yes with confidence. 

These travelers have different perspectives, but they share the same secret: they’ve removed the complexity from travel, allowing planning to happen seamlessly in the background so they can stay focused on the experience.

Making travel moments seamlessly possible 

From curated trips to spontaneous escapes, the true luxury of travel lies not just in where you’re going, but in how effortlessly you get there.

All three rely on Smart Infinity, the premium postpaid brand of Smart. In addition to unlimited local calls, texts, and data, the plan includes generous monthly consumables. These can be used for app subscriptions or to add more roaming data once the built-in allocation runs out—offering even more value for frequent travelers.

Smart Infinity works quietly in the background, supporting those who travel with purpose and style. Members also enjoy international airport lounge access, adding comfort and ease to every leg of their journey.

At the heart of it is the Infinity Worldwide Concierge, a 24/7 service that assists members with everything from everyday tasks to the most extraordinary travel and lifestyle requests. 

From booking last-minute flights and assisting with visa applications, to reserving tables at Michelin-starred restaurants and securing hard-to-get tickets to concerts or Broadway shows, the Infinity Concierge is designed to simplify your routines and elevate your lifestyle—so even the smallest moments feel taken care of. 

Travel smart, live infinity

 As the summer travel season inspires both spontaneous adventures and thoughtfully planned getaways, Smart Infinity has brought the experience even closer to home. 

On April 12, it launched its first in-store Infinity Day, a monthly activation designed to give visitors a glimpse into the Infinity lifestyle. Guests at participating stores enjoyed curated refreshments, elegant giveaways, and exclusive previews of the perks and privileges that make every Infinity journey seamless from the very start.

With Infinity Day set to happen every eight of the month, Smart Infinity continues to engage would-be travelers through exclusive experiences, personalized assistance, and a lifestyle designed for movement. 

This is all part of the Smart Infinity Membership Club—a program that goes beyond mobile service. It’s a true conveyor of premium lifestyle, designed for those who live intentionally and travel exceptionally. 

Because in the end, traveling isn’t just about reaching your destination; it’s about the freedom to move with ease, the confidence to be spontaneous, and the comfort of knowing everything is taken care of, every step of the way.
