Know the Seat Assignment
- Before making airline reservations or requesting seat assignments, it is better to know the seating configuration of the aircraft that you are flying. Seatguru.com has the details of seats for most US airlines. It shows which seat to avoid and which seat is better.

Low Humidity
- When flying, the low air humidity can really affect you. Undereye moisturizer works great to protect and moisturize your lips, which can otherwise end up cracked and dry. (I like the plain, unfragranced undereye moisturizer from the Body Shop.) Also, if the flight attendants offer you a warm, damp towel near flight's end, take it! It can be a very refreshing comfort.

Miscellaneous Tips for Air Travel
- These tips can help you cope when you travel by air:

If your flight gets cancelled, instead of running with the crowd to the airport counter, try calling your travel agent or the airline to get a new reservation.
If you have carry-on bags, think about getting a seat assignment toward the back of the plane. You board first and have an easier time stowing your bags.
To avoid being delayed at the airport, call the airline before leaving to be sure the flight is scheduled to leave on time.
If your flight is delayed you may be entitled to a refund, even on a nonrefundable ticket!
If you'd like a better seat on your flight be sure to ask at check-in. Bulk-head and exit-row seats are usually last to be assigned and may be available.
Extra time in between flights? Often you can use the executive lounge of an airline for a one-time use fee, usually around $25.
Need to alleviate ear pressure when flying? Place a hot cloth in cup and hold it over your ear. Try it, it works!
Using your laptop in-flight? You'll need to bring an auto/air adapter to be 'plugged in' when you fly.

Moderation is the Key
- If you are going to consume alcoholic beverages, consume them in moderation. The lack of oxygen while flying greatly intensifies the effect of alcohol in your blood stream.

Money-Saving Options
- Picking mid-week flight times is a great way to save money while traveling. Instead of flying on the weekend, choose mid week dates for your departure and arrival flights. Not only will your tickets be cheaper, you’ll usually be able to avoid the hassle of crowded airports.
