Tips During Flights
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008An item that’s invaluable when making long, night flights is an inflatable neck cushion or pillow. It takes practically no room when collapsed, but makes it so much easier to sleep. Also, try to carry an eye shade and ear plugs for sleeping.
When waiting in line or sitting in the airport (or anywhere else, for that matter), always have the straps to your carry on luggage wrapped around an arm or a leg. Then they won’t disappear without your knowledge. Do this suggestion to the extreme if you think you are in a questionable area. You can even straddle your large bags when you feel necessary. Or at least have them touching your leg so you would know if they were moved.
When you reach your seat on boarding a plane, MOVE OUT OF THE AISLE immediately. From there you can stow your bag in the overhead bin. If not, wait until the aisle clears. You might want to avoid problems with people especially on long trips.
