Flying Tips 1 - Spend an hour or so making a checklist a few days before your trip. Your checklist should include rental car and hotel reservations, plane tickets, things to pack in your suitcase, special trip arrangements, etc.

Flying Tips 2 - Take the earlier flight. This will increase your chances of getting where you need to go. Frequently, there are plane delays and cancellations.

Flying Tips 3 - Leave an hour earlier than you usually would. This will allow you extra time for traffic and airport security. Sometimes the lines can be very long.

Flying Tips 4 - Check your bags with the skycap instead of at the ticket counter. Although you'll need to tip them, it can save you some time and trouble at the ticket counter.

Flying Tips 5 - Take advantage of the electronic ticketing check-in. This will keep you from having to wait in long lines.

Flying Tips 6 - Assuming you're not flying first class, request one of the seats at the very front or in the exit row. You usually have a bit more leg room.

Flying Tips 7 - Always take a light jacket. You'd be surprised how cold it can get on the airplane. Even in the dead of summer.

Flying Tips 8 - Pack a set of earplugs in your carry-on bag. Some smaller and mid-size planes have extremely loud engines that can actually make for a long, painful flight.
