Butter Too Cold?

- Place your frozen butter on top of the hot entree's aluminium foil to melt it before peeling off the foil. That way, you can spread it on your bread easily.

BYO Blankets?

- If you choose to carry your own blanket on board the aircraft, there are a few things to consider.

Ensure that the material has a flame retardant rating. In a fire emergency, synthetic fibers will melt onto your skin at high temperatures. It is a safety issue.
Federal regulations require airline blankets to be specially treated and rated. A generic blanket from home may not meet these standards.
Most airline blankets today are sealed in dry cleaners' plastic. That is your assurance that they have not been recycled from another passenger.
The trend today is for blankets to be sold for a couple of bucks, and are yours to keep.

It's all about safety at 37,000 feet.

Chamomile for Jitters

- Nervous passengers might consider taking a few chamomile tea bags for the journey. They are tiny, flat, lightweight, and a double stregnth brew acts as a natural sedative. Unlike various travel tablets avaliable, chamomile will enable you to relax without leaving you heavy headed and drooping all over your neighbour. Just ask the flight attendent for the hot water when tea and coffee is offered.

Chapped Lips?

- BRING BLISTEX!! On the plane, this can be invaluable. If your flight is over 1 hour long, I strongly suggest you make this tiny tube of lip moisturizer a part of your carry-on bag. Almost nothing is worse than severe chapped lips in the very dry environment of the plane. Even if your lips are not chapped when you take off, the dry recycled air will do the job quickly! Blistex is tiny, and if you have dry elbows or heals, it can also be used as a skin moisturizer. It is shareable, as you can sqeeze it on to fingers instead of lips, and in very desperate situations, it can be put on the face in small amounts to get rid of that dry, tight feeling. I hope every one will heed this advice; as a veteran flyer, it is a small thing that can make a huge difference!

Check In Early

- Check In at least 90 minutes before departing (overseas) or you may loose your seat. When you check your luggage, make sure they tag it directly to your destination. If you have to change airlines, you may not have enough time to claim luggage, pass through customs and immigration, and catch your next flight.
