Checking in online will save you a lot of time and money. First, you can more often than not change your seating online when you are checking in. Also, some airlines charge a lower fee checking in your luggage online verses at the ticket counter.
It is also important to keep track of your flight and weather conditions, this will keep away unneeded stress. Airlines will keep passengers posted for any delays for their flight ahead of time. Anticipate some delays, depending on the place of your departure and your destination.
It's always a good idea to bring a change of clothing with you on a carry bag, regardless of your purpose of traveling. You will never know if there are some delays on the way, when this happens, you will have fresh and clean clothing.
Wear comfortable clothing when flying; this will help you make you waiting and flying time enjoyable and relaxing. If you have a connecting flight, it's easier to travel between terminals in relaxing clothing than your business attire. Being comfortable is a very good asset when traveling in between flights.
Always have to mindset to be prepared for anything. Bring your MP3 or DVD player, these will keep you entertained while on-board and in between flights, it also helps pass the time quicker.
Bring a snack with you, even if you find your favorite food vendor or coffee shop in the airport terminal. Not all of them will have your favorite foods and are much more expensive than bringing your own.
Reading material is another great way to pass the time, that is if you are an avid reader. Bring a book that you have always wanted to read but felt that you haven't had the time. You'll never know how long you could be waiting in the plane or in the terminal.
Know your rights as a customer. Airlines will often overbook flights on purpose and may ask for volunteers. You can offer up your seat, but make sure you know what the policies are for the length of time you will have to wait for your next flight. Getting a free airline voucher is always a extra plus for your next trip. Also, those vouchers make wonderful gifts.There are some regulations you should know about. If it's more than four hours until your next flight, the airline should offer you cash or a voucher for a maximum amount and a food voucher. If it's an weather related issues for the delay, there is nothing you can do. That is why you came totally prepared. Check the status of your flight prior to getting to the airport. You have a change of clothing in case they lose your luggage or there is an extreme weather delay. You have brought a healthy snack and have some entertainment. If you find yourself sitting next to someone whom may appear to be a problem, inform the flight attendants and they can move you if there is seating available. You could end up in first class. - 33386
