First time flying? Don't worry,  follow some of these tips we have for you, and you should be just fine!

Pack Healthy Snacks

Almonds, apple slices, dried fruit, carrot sticks, and protein bars are great for holding you over when flying. If you pack snacks, you’re less likely to splurge on airport food that is often unhealthy and overpriced, plus you won’t arrive at your destination starving.

Bring a Sleeping Kit

Landing at your destination well-rested will help set your trip off to a great start. Whether you’re stuck in a middle seat, leaning against the cold hard window, or winging it on the aisle, bringing a few small items with you will make your flight much more comfortable.

Organize Your Daypack

Take time to organize your daypackpurse, or other carry-on BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOME, so you aren’t scrambling at the airport and lugging around more than you need to. Have a special compartment for important documents, such as your boarding pass, ID, and reservation documents so you’ll know exactly where to find them when you get to the front of the TSA line.

Charge Up your Devices before your Flight

Make sure to have everything charged before heading to the airport. This may include your phone, laptop, camera, and any other electronics you travel with. You never know if you’ll be able to find an open outlet or if security might take longer than usual leaving no time to charge up.

Move on Your Layovers

Layovers are a great time to stretch, walk around, and do anything but sit to counteract all those hours on the plane. Be sure to locate your next gate and check to confirm your flight is on time before you take a stroll. You can keep an eye on your flight status on monitors located throughout the airport as you walk around.

Pack a Reusable Water Bottle

You can’t take water through the security checkpoint, but you can take an empty reusable water bottle. Most airports have water fill-up stations so you can fill a bottle post-security. Drinking lots of water is an important tip for flying because the added elevation and recycled air can result in dehydration. 

If you followed all these tips, you should be good. Have safe travels!
