LANDING GEAR: The best way to hit the ground running once your flight touches down is to check out airport websites before you arrive. Quickaid, a manufacturer of touch-screen info terminals for airports, provides a handy directory of airport web links on its site. Scroll down to the bottom of the homepage, which lists U.S. airport links, and click on "Other airports worldwide" to access Asian and other regional hubs. Many sites provide useful details on airport facilities, transit hotels and how to get downtown.
