Pocket wifi deviceUsing your US-based smart phone in Europe can make for some expensive phone calls. US service providers have international plans that can help but the average roaming charge across Europe costs US travelers $19 per MB. Connectivity is another issue as travelers struggle to get and stay online with phones, laptops, tablets and other wireless devices. Tep is a convenient and affordable service is now available and more than just a way to avoid roaming charges.

"At long last there is an alternative to expensive mobile phone roaming charges and the hassle of finding WiFi internet connections aboard," said Tep Founder Tomas Mendoza. "Our star service, the pocket WiFi, gives business travelers the power to go anywhere connected with their laptop and Ipad, a priceless service when not being connected can cost time, money and business."

The Tep pocket WiFi device offers an on-the-go connectivity service across 16 European countries anywhere, any time for $7.95 per day. This isn't fixed WiFi hot spots, this is 3G on the move that can be used for multiple devices: laptops, tablets, phones.

We've made it through Gadling's top 10 passengers that drive us crazy over the past couple of weeks, and it has been a contentious, wild ride. Some bloggers can't stand the upgrade panderers, others, the agressive seat recliners.

Truth of the matter is, everyone has cranky days when it seems like the entire travel world is conspiring against you, from the guy with standing on the wrong side of the escalator to the weather delays all over the east coast.

Travel has a way of throwing curve balls at you, forcing you to change your plan, roll with the punches and venture into the unknown. Maybe that's why some of us love it so much, and why dealing with crazy passengers is part of the fun. Next time you're on the road, keep an eye out for Gadling's 10 passenges that we love to hate and maybe before you lose your cool, give them a wink for us.

Day 1: The Escalator Obstacle
Day 2: The Foodie
Day 3: The Baggage Claim Vulture
Day 4: The Upgrade Panderer
Day 5: The American Idiot
Day 6: The Parent with Uncontrollable Children
Day 7: The Bluetooth Bigshot
Day 8: The Call Button Coward
Day 9: The Converter
Day 10: The Recliner
