Traveling to a new place is exciting, and you have probably been waiting months or even years to go on a great vacation. But the experience of going on an airplane is sometimes a huge nightmare, and it’s easy to forget how to be prepared. Before you go on your next flight, be sure to check out these 50 tips to make your journey far more enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n The MyTSA app will give you estimated wait times, so that you can be prepared before you show up to the airport. They also give you some great tips about how to arrive prepared for your check-in process. As an added bonus, check out the TSA account on Instagram to see some of the ridiculous things people have tried to sneak on airplanes!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sitting through a long flight can be brutal, especially if you are used to getting a lot of physical activity in your day. This is why it’s a great idea to workout before you go to the airport. You will get a boost of endorphins to help keep your mood high, and it also might help you fall asleep faster once your flight begins.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you book your flight early, you may have your choice of where to sit on the plane. If you get travel sickness or major anxiety when there is turbulence, choose a seat that sits next to the wings of the plane. This is where the weight of the plane is the most evenly distributed. The back of the plane gets the worst turbulence.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Going on an early morning flight has multiple benefits. You might find that there are fewer crowds, and it is easier to check into your flight. Plus, rough weather is less likely to happen in the morning. So you will be less likely to deal with turbulence.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most airports have a chapel available for people to pray, if they choose to. This is almost never actually used by guests, so you might actually be able to go inside and discover that there is absolutely no one there. This is perfect for anyone who feels anxious around crowds.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You may find yourself in a situation where your phone is dying, and there is no plug in sight. You can buy portable chargers for roughly $10, which should be enough to help keep your devices alive until you arrive to your next destination.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You know those long surge protectors that you can use to plug in multiple items? Nowadays, many of them are even made with built-in USB slots. If you have one of those in a crowded airport seating area, you will automatically become the hero of the hour. This can help multiple people charge their phones at once, instead of waiting in line.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This may sound like common sense to some people. But flight attendants work very hard, and they truly appreciate travelers who are polite and smile at them. If you are nice to them, they will most likely return the favor in some way.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since the air on a plane is filtered during a flight, having the ability to stay cool and breathe easily may be a top priority for you, especially if you suffer from asthma. If this is the case, you should try to book a seat on the front of the plane. However, if you get chilly and you want somewhere that is warm, choose the back of the plane.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Depending on your flight, you may have to pay for all of your beverages and snacks. However, if you bring your own tea bag, the flight attendants will be happy to bring you a cup of hot water. This way, you can have a free cup of tea!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Every airport has business and executive class lounges. Many people assume that these are exclusive for people flying first class, but you can usually gain access to the lounges by paying a one-day fee. This can cost anywhere from $30 to $50, but for some people, that is totally worth it. You get a comfortable place to sit, charge your devices, and get some work done. There is also usually food and alcohol included in your entrance fee.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In many airports, the only place where you can find free wifi is in those lounges. However, if you hang out just outside the door, you may be able to pick up the signal on your phone. This might come in handy in case of an emergency!<\/span><\/p>\n50.
