Recently I had to travel to US for work related matters, and found that traveling to the other side of the world is a “Pain in the ass”, On my 1st trip, I was quite excited, I haven’t been on a flight for more than 6 – 8 hours and by simply knowing that trip to US takes almost 30 hours made me pack more and more stuff for the journey itself (and seriously thats a bad idea).
So my second trip to US couple of day back, I knew whats coming and tried to make it far better than the previous. So here are the tips:
- Try to check-in early as possible (via on-line if possible) and catch an aisle seat in your flight.
- Don’t wear heavy uneasy cloths. (shorts, linen pants and t-shirts helps alot)
- Wear sandals if thats an option (Most security checkpoints in many airports ask you to remove your shoes and scan them 😛 so sandals do help)
- Carry only a backpack (check-in all your heavy bags as luggage)
- Take your laptop/ipad with you it helps to kill time in transit (or a book if thats your thing)
