Summer is well on its way and along with the season of sun comes family vacations and travel, whether in the Philippines or out of the country. Going through the tedious process of checking in and flying can be tiresome and daunting. Dealing with the hassle of airports and planes can make it easy to lose your cool—no matter what kind of stressful situation you run into, keep these tips in mind to give your trip a good start..
..
Read the fine print.
To avoid last minute mishaps at the check-in counter, make sure you know the exact weight limits and luggage sizes required by your airline. Be conscious of airport screeners when dressing up too, so you don’t waste too much time emptying your pockets of loose change, removing belts with metal hardware or packing and unpacking your gadgets.
..
Watch your carry-on luggage.
Hold your bag in front of you, instead of letting it drape from your shoulder so you avoid hitting people on the airplane aisle while walking to your seat. Remember that the overhead bin policy is first come first stowed.
Grin and bear it.
The true test of patience when it comes to travel, is staying up in the air for an hour (or twelve), trying not to overreact when minor incivilities occur. When a child is crying at will or a noisy couple is arguing within everyone’s earshot, try to resort to those noise-canceling earphones and concentrate on the movie instead of creating even more of a ruckus. When things get out of hand, however, do not hesitate to report what’s going on to a flight attendant.
..
Know the faux pas.
Bad behavior is a no-no, especially in small confined spaces like an airplane. Being unreasonably demanding to your flight attendants, loitering in the aisles, having too much alcohol and toting along strong-smelling food or spraying on too much perfume are to be avoided at all costs.
