5 Top tips for making Flying international more enjoyable
- Preorder your meals – Usually if booking with the Airline direct you can preorder your meal types if they are special, you can choose options like Vegetarian / Halal / Kosher etc. It means you get your meals before everyone else
- Bring an empty bottle to fill with water. Make sure this empty before going through security and you can top it up the other side. Means you don’t need to keep asking the airhostess for water and some cheap airlines its self service
- Bring snacks for the plane, some no-thrills airlines charge for food, but the liquids allocation does not stop you from bringing food. Make sure the food is eaten or disposed of when arriving at the destination or you may face a fine for importing products such as meat/ fish or fruit.
