Flying to your destination is such a great option. Instead of spending hours in the car, you turn an 8 hour trip into a 2 hour plane ride.
To make your flying experience as comfortable and easy as possible, try these simple tips:
- When booking your airline tickets, you should understand the difference between nonstop and direct flights. Opt for a nonstop flight; direct flights may touch down at other locations on the way to your final destination.
- Select your seating choice as soon as they’re made available to you. You don’t want to be stuck smack dab in the middle of center aisle seating, or placed in the exit row. Unless of course you want the extra leg room.
- Pack all of your electronics together. By doing so, security checks will be much easier to go through. Otherwise you run the risk of having to unpack your entire bag.
- Instead of checking your bags, pack light and be sure to adhere to the liquid rule of 3 ounce containers placed in a clear plastic bag.
