Preparing for Takeoff

Hey Tarvel Gurus!
Even though I love traveling via airplanes, I realize that boarding a plane to a destination isn't always a perfect experience. Looking back, I wish there were some things I learned beforehand, so I hope I can help you have a better aviation experience by sharing what I have found in my air travel experiences.

The first tip is in regards to clothing and is in my opinion, an essential part of having a great air travel experience. When running in a busy airport, comfort should definitely come before style. This isn't to say that you need dress like a hobo. Rather, just take it easy  and don't stress about it because chances are, everyone is too busy getting lost to notice the fact that your outfit colors don't match or that there's a stain on your shirt. Make sure you're comfortable and can easily maneuver in whatever you're wearing and try to dress in layers so you can adjust what you're wearing to the climate in the airport and ont the plane.

Secondly, puncatuality is everything. Do not under any circumstance underestimate how much time it takes from the moment of entrance to boarding your plane. Long lines, suitcase weigh-in, several security checks and getting a chance to eat all consume a lot of town. You also want to keep a safe time cushion as it can take a while to find your gate and in the event that you get lost or have a major setback at securit or customs, you won't be pressed for time.

Lastly, take care of yourself. Make sure to get a good night's sleep beforehand as the environment of a crowded airplane doesn't necessarily warrant peaceful sleep. Make sure to moisturize as the thin air when flying can quickly dry your skin. Stay hydrated and prepare yourself so you aren't met with unnecessary stress at the airport and just stay positive. Everything's a lot more fun that way :)

Hope this helped and thanks for reading!
