 - To start your holiday in style and make you feel as though you've had another day's holiday, book an airport hotel and stay the night before you fly. Not only does this save the hassle of travelling to the airport on the day of departure, but it also gives you valuable time to chill out and leaves you completely relaxed for the flight. Gatwick Airport Meet and Greet Parking has more holiday tips! - Over the last few years, my wife and I have become fed up with being stung for excess baggage. After a lot of thought, we decided to develop a suitcase with built-in scales, which has an LCD digital scale in the handle. It is a new venture for us, but we think it could be the answer to avoiding excess baggage charges and long delays at the airport. We have recently been featured on the Channel Five Gadget Show. Our idea was described as 'genius' and they said that nobody should travel without one. The Eco Suitcases website has more information. - When traveling with a partner, choose your seat on your flight wisely. If you are in a 3-seat by 3-seat configuration, choose 2 aisle seats instead of an aisle and a middle or window and middle. You will still be able to talk to each other, but will also have alot more room to enjoy the flight. If you are traveling in a 2-seat by 3-seat by 2-seat, you can take a chance and book the 2 aisle seats in the 3-seat configuration. If the flight is not fully booked, you may end up with a free seat between you. If the middle seat is booked, then I am sure whoever has the middle seat will trade with you to get an aisle seat. Always see if you can get the bulkhead seat or an emergency exit for more leg room. And check for the best seats at seatguru.com.

I go with one carry-on, make sure it's a little smaller than the minimum size, bring my own food and drink onto the plane, bring at least one good book if not two, eat in the airport before the flight, and get to the airport a little early. I've never had to check a bag, and I've never had missing or damaged luggage. I've never been bored during flight delays. I've never been hungry or thirsty on flights. A little preparation goes a long way. Advance Attention to Safety - When boarding the aircraft, make a mental note of all exits, and count how many seat rows you pass from the exit to your row. This will expedite your escape route in case of an emergency landing if there is smoke and/or power loss in the cabin. And by all means, pay attention to the flight crew! No matter how boring or uninteresting it may sound, their instructions are vital ... and read the aircraft emergency procedure manual completely before takeoff. These are located in the pouch right in front of you. Do this - it pays to be prepared for flight. Knowledge is power, and armed with the basics you can sit back and enjoy your flight. |
