Ready for Take off

I
love
exploring new places. Whether I travel across America or around the
world, a new adventure is always waiting. What I don't always enjoy
is
the
time spent 9 000 meters (30 000 feet) in the air. Tight spaces, long
hours, and unexpected problems can make air travel stressful. Follow
these six tips to make your next flight a breeze.
1. Make a checklist. Before you pack, make a checklist of everything you need and mark items off as you put them in your bag. Be sure to include important documents such as your passport.
2. Pack light. You don't need to
pack your whole closet. Choose clothes that mix and match for more variety.
Wear your largest shoes on the plane to save room in your bag. And pack
a few old items that you can leave behind to make more room for souvenirs
on the way home.
3. Carry on essential items. Unfortunately, dependable baggage
service is hard to come by. When
you fly, be sure to pack your medicine, important documents, and a change
of clothes in your carry-on bag.
4. Pack water and snacks. No one wants to get stuck on a runway
for hours without food or water. But bad weather or mechanical
problems could leave you stranded.
Pack water and crackers in your carry-on. But leave fresh foods at home.
Most countries won't allow you to bring them across their borders.
5. Stretch your legs. More and more travelers suffer from blood
clots caused by sitting too long in tight spaces. You can help prevent
this problem by doing stretches in your seat and taking short walks
every hour.
6. Entertain yourself. A long trip can either mean hours of boredom
or an exciting adventure. Plan ahead to keep yourself busy with books,
magazines and portable CD player.
Just don't forget to bring extra batteries.
Research airlines before you book
your reservations. For just a few dollars more, some airlines offer
personal entertainment systems. Singapore Air gives you nearly 70 choices
of movies, music channels, and other entertainment!
With a little
planning ahead, you'll be able to sit back and enjoy the ride on your
