Once you get your digital boarding pass, immediately take a screenshot of it. It\u2019s better to have a photo of your boarding pass as it can be a hassle to log onto the airline website or app.<\/strong> If the website decides to freeze at the airport, you\u2019ll be the one holding up the line and you don\u2019t want to be \u201cthat\u201d person. Also, we can\u2019t stress this enough but turn off the rotation mode on your phone and increase the brightness if you\u2019re showing any e-documents to security.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ever since the world was struck by the coronavirus, there have been some changes that we must all adhere to when we travel. The most evident one is that you have to wear a face mask that fits you well. It\u2019s also highly recommended you avoid traveling if you\u2019re not fully vaccinated.<\/strong> If you\u2019ve taken your vaccination, you should also carry your proof of vaccination along with you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even after taking both doses of the vaccine, some places still require you to present a negative RT-PCR test stating that you\u2019re negative. The test shouldn\u2019t be older than 72 hours. Check state requirements depending on where you\u2019re flying to.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you travel on a flight, you are allowed to carry a personal item bag. This is usually a crossbody bag, small backpack or a bag that goes on their waist. In this bag you get to pack essentials, basically, things you can\u2019t do without or have personal value. <\/strong>Think carefully about what you want to keep in this bag. To give you an idea, you can pack the following –\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use this list to keep your ag organized. Make sure everything in this bag is easily accessible. <\/strong>Pro tip <\/em><\/strong>– Pack in a way that you can see what you want to take out without having to dig into the bag.<\/strong> If you don\u2019t you\u2019ll have to take out one thing after the other like a magician doing a hat trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For ultimate in-flight comfort, do not leave behind a neck pillow and eye mask.<\/strong> It can be pretty uncomfortable to sleep without a neck pillow as we all know that flight seats aren\u2019t exactly that comfy. If you\u2019re the one that just zonks out like a baby in your seat without much effort, we envy you! You may also want to carry a set of earmuffs or a small cushion for support for your lower back<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take necessary steps to make yourself feel at ease when in your seat on the flight. You could also make sure you\u2019re wearing clothes that don\u2019t stick to your body and restrict mobility but wear something breathable.<\/strong> Don\u2019t stuff too many things in your pocket but keep things in your crossbody bag or backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This may sound obvious but you\u2019ve got to be sure that all your electronics have been charged before you board your flight. If you travel on a flight whilst running on a low battery, you\u2019re basically asking for trouble.<\/strong>\u00a0Duh, one of those basic travel tips for flying? Say that the next time you’ve forgotten to switch on the charger the night before a flight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s true that you can charge your phone, laptop or Kindle while waiting to board your flight. You might think we\u2019re being dramatic but hear us out – at times, many people have already occupied the charging ports. <\/strong>It\u2019s not really fun to have your hands tied to your phone while it charges. Instead, you can stretch your legs by walking and window shop or really shop around the airport. <\/strong>Now isn\u2019t that more appealing than sitting to charge your phone at the airport?<\/p>\n\n\n\n To ensure you\u2019re not bored in the event that your flight is delayed, take it from us and download a movie or a book to read in advance. <\/strong>The Wi-Fi at the airport can be dodgy and you don\u2019t want to drain your battery by downloading at the airport so do this at home itself. Carry noise-canceling headphones on the off-chance that there\u2019s a kid on the airplane throwing a tantrum or your neighbor is having a political conversation. <\/strong>These things can ruin what you\u2019re listening to, be it a movie or song, which is why this point makes it on our top 10 travel tips for flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you download your movies and e-books, make sure you also download the Aarogya Setu App as it\u2019s a must that you have it when you travel on flights in India.<\/strong> Pro travel tip <\/em> – We also suggest that you download offline versions of maps of the places you\u2019re exploring. In case you lose internet connection or your battery is low, offline maps can be a blessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We all know that flight temperatures drop to another level that you might be cold even though you were sweating minutes earlier before entering the flight. This is why a non-negotiable clothing item that you should have at all times is your jacket.<\/strong> When it gets warm you can always take it out and prepare to stuff it in your carry-on. Whether it\u2019s the \u2018cool beans\u2019 or not, ensure it keeps you warm. This is one of those travel tips for flying that even your mom would insist on, so don’t miss it!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Carrying a reusable water bottle is the right trend that\u2019s picking up as it eventually destroys the need for single-use plastic water bottles.<\/strong> By carrying one, you remain environmentally friendly and hydrated too. Plus, you also save money as the water bottles at the airport are seriously overpriced. But do note that you cannot carry a bottle filled with water past the security check-in.<\/strong> This means you can use your bottle to fill water and drink it at the airport but not once you board. Make sure you fill your water bottle in order to finish it before boarding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Carefully decide on a few snacks you wish to take along with you on the flight. Avoid carrying food items that could smell and instead pack items that remain fresh like biscuits, chips, dry fruits, chocolates, or cut-up vegetables<\/strong>. If you carry items that perish faster, make sure that you intend to eat them earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best item to go for if you want to eat something heavy is banana bread or other bakery items like cookies, slice cakes, muffins, and so on. <\/strong>Simple sandwiches like peanut butter or jam should also do the trick. We\u2019re sure you\u2019ve already got a few ideas on what to pack for snacks now! Ensure you check the airline policy before you pack away as an added precaution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The middle seat on an airplane is like the first slice of bread in a loaf that gets skipped on by most people.<\/strong> In short, nobody wants it because the armrest has to be shared with the people next to you. Also, when you\u2019re in the middle, it can be a daunting task to get out if you need to use the washroom. When you have the chance to choose, make sure you pick an aisle seat if you hate asking people to move.<\/strong> If you\u2019d rather sit tight and not have someone going back and forth, choose the window seat. And if you have a connecting flight to catch and want to board off the plane ASAP, then sit near the exit rows. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"travel](\"https:\/\/gostops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ross-parmly-rf6ywHVkrlY-unsplash-1024x680.jpg\")
