BEFORE YOU LEAVE

1. Photocopy all of your travel details; passport, flight tickets, dates etc. and keep them with a loved one back home
2. Pack your iPod with EVERY song you can think of

3. Figure out your connecting flights and what is happening when you land in at your final destination

4. Don't stuff your face before hand, you're fed literally ever hour

5. Make sure you're well hydrated

6. Check in early online if you can, most airlines allow you to check in 24 hours before your flight and sometimes even request seating
