The big day came – a holiday in a distant foreign country. All of you are ready and packed. You've got your passport, your flight ticket and a way to pay for your next few weeks. You're anxious and eager to go nervous. Here are some tips for a little more fun your long flight.
Before You Go.
Bring as light as possible. No more than two suitcases and one carrying case should be given. It would be easier to pack shorts and t-shirts if you have a tropical climate. And, at your destination, you can still find new clothes.
Make sure you have all your prescription drugs and copies. Research the new guidelines on the movement of liquids. With the weather, rules and regulations change-keep up-to-date.
Confirm your flight again. When a typhoon struck Taiwan, my last trip was just a few days late and my Hawaii flight went through Taipei. I scratched and changed my flight to a flight that went via Tokyo, Japan and got as planned to Thailand. I haven't checked in advance, and luckily may take another flight. My lesson, I know. Get your seat assignment during confirmation. For more legroom, I prefer an exit line.
Check twice that you got it all. Two or three times before I go, I'll use a checklist. Make sure that your passport, tickets and some payment methods are available – cash, ATM, credit card or traveller's checks. A mix is an ideal way to ensure you have alternative payment forms. You expect to swap a day or two at the destination airport if you are heading to a country that has its own currency. In your country of origin, don't adjust the money – you're going to get an awful cost.

At Your Home Airport
Project about 3 hours before your departure from the airport. Long and slow check-in and safety lines can. Ready your travel documents to take you everywhere you go. Check again the rules for your flight-especially in your transportation.
Before I leave, I still eat in the airport. The situation at airports has improved and got cheaper, so I prefer a meal in my room and not the aviation business. During the ride, I'm also taking on some trail mix.
Using duty-free shops for profit. Get your booze and other tax-free cigarettes and goodies. Before you buy 6 bottles of whiskey, you should test the limitations of the country of destination. Also test if you can take liquids on layover flights or on flights. Before your last flight, you might have to buy in the layover.
You will waste time with your own electronic toys. Wireless access is usually accessible at airports for email and surfing purposes. If you have an iPod, you can also listen to some songs. In most airports outside the airline lounges, wireless is open. You don't have to be a participant to tap into your unsecured network outdoors.

On The Flight
Try to sleep and relax as soon as you can. The shifts in the time zone and the jet lag are that. Remove alcohol and drink plenty of water on longer flights, in particular. On long flights in the dry cabin air, the dehydration is easy. Once you get there, you can drink booze.
Read and watch a time killing video. Create puzzles in the magazines on-board. Keep as busy as you can. Have a few mint and gum to alleviate air pressure before you continue and land.
Normally I avoid the airline food main course. I eat the cake, the salad. The food is never edible. That's why I eat my own snacks before I go.
To sign in to Custom's officer, you must complete a customs declaration form on the plane. Only touch the aircraft and stick your passport to it.

Arrival
Leave the aircraft as soon as you can. You and all others will go through immigration/duty – and the race is on. Hopefully, before deplaning you got instructions. If not, obey the instructions. Don't quit smoking or take a toilet. Get in the shortest row and ready for your passport. Keep with you, if only, a copy of your boarding pass.
Be respectful and polite to the officer of the law, stamp your passport, click on your customs declaration and go to the carousels of the luggage. Make sure you have your own luggage and find the exchange of currency.
To last a day or two, change enough money. ATMs around the world are easy, making a debit card the easiest way to receive local money. Use a credit card can be a little riskier. Get your money and go out. Get your money and go out.
Look for the taxi or bus and head into the hotel. You did it! You did it! Now, just have a holiday.
