SUMMARY:
– You shouldn’t be wary of airport scanners – they don’t harm your health.
– If you have some powder in your baggage, be it some baby formula, flour, or instant drinks, keep it in its original packaging.
– At some airports, you can buy drinking water right after you pass the security check.
– Check if the airport or airline sells 24-hour access to a VIP lounge zone. In most cases, you can have free snacks and drinks there.
– While in the baggage claim area, you might have to pay for Wi-Fi; but in the arrival zone, it’s almost always free.
– If you’re in the middle of a bad cold, but you absolutely have to fly, take a painkiller before the plane takes off and lands.
– You can’t keep power banks in your checked baggage.
– When going on a trip, instead of taking the whole perfume bottle, take a tester.
– If you have a brand-new unopened bottle of nail polish in your carry-on, it’s ok. But if you’ve already used it, put it in your checked luggage.
– . Seemingly innocent things like plants, seeds, and some types of food may be prohibited if you’re flying to Australia, or other particular islands.
– You’re more likely to find unoccupied toilets in the baggage claim area, near customs, next to big cafes, and in waiting lounges.
– While packing for a long flight, remember to put a couple of tennis balls in your carry-on. If you roll your feet on them during the flight, your legs and feet won’t swell up.
– Statistically, the safest seats are in the tail of the aircraft.
– If you’re traveling through several time zones, try to do more physical activity the day before.
– If there are lots of empty seats on a plane, and you have the airline’s bonus card, you can ask the flight attendants to move you to business class.
– You can still pay for your onboard purchases with your bank card, even if there’s no Internet on the plane. In this case, the money will be withdrawn as soon as you land.
