Air Travel Tips

Last year been very busy flying and delivering the ITIL trainings. so got handful experience of flight travels and gathered enough information to write a book"Air travel: what to do and what not to do". Here are few inputs from the same:

1) You dont need to carry printout of the air tickets, all you have to do is give your PNR number at the respective airline ticket counter.

on the contrary to above point, it's enough if u give your name and ID proof alone to get the ticket at the airline counter !

2) Either be the first few who gets the boarding pass or the last few who gets the boarding pass. by this way you'll get your baggage first from the conveyor belt after u alight.

on the contrary to above point, irrespective of boarding first or last, it's your luck which will decide the baggage collection at conveyor belt. This has never worked for me, so i'm sure it'll work for you all.

3) While answering the seat preference question, dont fall in the trap by telling "i want window seat so that i can get the view of the word". Check with them whether the seat is close to exit or not.

on the contrary be sure that you mean the exit from flight and not the "emergency exit", coz, thats just in the middle !!!! u'll end up sandwiched !!!

4) Never try to flirt with air hostess until you are so sure that you have all the cards, coz most of them got bulky boyfriends !!!!!

5) Never get influenced by your co-passanger to buy foods sold in flight....particularly domestic flights...coz, the moment you got down, you run for rest room !!!!

6) Never do any inflight shopping, first they are not cheap, second, they are all crap !!!!! you'll get better deals in platform

7) Never take a windows seat when you are drunk, logical !

8) While taking the flights after 9 PM, go for aisle seat....easily accessible to restroom

9) Never talk to middle aged co-passenger, they always talk as if the flight is not going to land !!!!

10) Never ever never....sit next to a celebrity !!!! even though none notice them, they can still make u sick !!!!!!!

well thats it for now, If you have any doubts on particulars, pls post it as comments....will let u know whatever i know !!!!!
