Wow Preparing for a Long Flight

Image
The first thing I like to do is to get as little sleep as possible the night before I fly, this way by the time I get to the plane I can hopefully just go to sleep and wake up at my destination. I only recommend this if you are able to perform any tasks you need to do before your flight. If you have to drive for 5 hrs first you may want to get a good night sleep, and maybe take some Tylenol pm or something else to make you drowsy. Many people like to get a little drunk on a flight, I am not one of them, but if it helps you relax and get some sleep then I say go for it, just don’t allow yourself to drink to the point where you become an obnoxious drunk on a plane. My next tip is to get to the airport 3 hours in advance, this is for 2 reasons. By getting there so early I am always one of if not the first to actually check in for my flight, which usually gets me a good seat, and I don’t have to wait in long lines. The other reason for always getting t the Air port at least 3 hrs befo...

Benefit From Discount Airline Tickets

Image
As most of us are no doubt familiar, there is a huge fluctuation in the prices of airline tickets. Depending on anything from season, how well traveled the route is, and other reasons that seem more mysterious, flight prices change constantly and radically. One of the most important things to consider if you're interested in discount travel is the difference in cost between domestic and international flights, and to use this to your advantage when you want to travel internationally. In the USA, a typical return flight from New York City to Montreal, Canada, for example costs about $300 for a trip that is just over 1 hour. For roughly the same price, one can fly domestically across the country from New York to Los Angeles - a much longer trip. With very few exceptions, flights are cheaper domestically - they are subject to less taxes and regulations for the airlines, and they are often on more traveled routes so the airlines can afford a discount. So to take advantage of this - to...

From bad breath to bathroom issues, there are many annoying things passengers do Credit: aviationcv.com A flight attendant wants passengers to stop walking barefoot in the aisles – and cabin crew reveal the other irritating things people do in the sky Most of us know by now that while there are certainly some perks to life in the sky, the day-to-day life of a flight attendant is not as glamorous as the pristine uniform might suggest. Proving this point, Susan Brown, a flight attendant who claims to have experience with Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad, aired some of her biggest gripes when it comes to poorly behaved passengers — and it's fair to say some are pretty disgusting. According to her answer to a Quora user who asked: What are some things that airplane passengers do that annoy the airplane crew? Some passengers seem to lose all inhibitions at 40,000ft – bodily fluids, gases and not-so-subtle smooches included. One of her biggest bugbears is when a passenger has ba...
