Are you nervous about flying for the first time? There is nothing to worry! We bring you the top 6 tips that will make your flight journey pleasant.
Never forget the essential documents, especially your tickets!
The key documents include the flight ticket/e-ticket and valid ID proof. Ensure you have both handy while entering the airport. Valid ID proof can be Aadhar Card, Driving License, or your Passport.
Check the baggage information thoroughly
Check the airline information and read about the things that are allowed as a part of your baggage. For example, liquids over 100 ml are not allowed in check-in baggage and most airlines have weight limits.
Avoid getting late
If you’re taking a domestic flight, it is advisable to reach the airport 2 hours in advance to avoid delays. For international flights, try to reach the airport 3 hours before departure as immigration and security checks can be time-consuming.
Listen to announcements
When at the airport, stay alert about announcements. Often, airport authorities share valuable instructions such as change of gate, flight delays, boarding calls as announcements. Pay attention to remain updated about details related to your flight.
During the flight, follow all the instructions
Remember to fasten your seat belt, and be considerate of fellow travellers. In case of any questions, reach out to the flight attendants. Avoid violating airline rules (smoking, misbehaving with staff, etc.) to have a comfortable and peaceful flight.
Don’t instantly stand up as the plane lands!
Getting up on landing is one of the worst flight etiquettes. Sit back and relax until the gates open.
