How to travel with airlines today


1. Always order a special meal...Indian, Muslim, Diabetic, Vegetarian...ect because personally prepared and really much better than the mass produced glurp.

2. Bring your own solid foods

3. Buy a large bottle of water just before you board

4. Sit in the aisle for short domestic flights (easy to get up and walk around or go to the facilities). Conversely, sit at a window for extended flights so no one has to step over you in the middle of the night or get hit by the cart as it is going by.

5. Wear shoes that are slip-ons [do not need hassle of shoe laces either before or after security) easy to remove on the plane (no feet swelling)

6. Take a large zip up bag and put your cell phone, loose change rings, bracelets, watches and two good pens in the bag and store on your carry on. No need to fumble at security check point...once your through take the bag and put all your stuff on

7. If traveling to a hot country and then a cold...do not pack two sets of clothes...send one set via UPS or Fed Ex and then return the other the same way when you get to your second destination

8. Bring a bottle of hand sanitizer incase of unsanitary conditions

9. Bring a good book and a charged Ipod in the event of visual/audio troubles
