For those of you who know me, know that I would live on a plane for the rest of my life. That is if I could. Sadly, I can’t. However this summer I am fortunate enough to be sitting on a plane 13 times. I probably did a happy dance in my head every time I boarded the plane because let’s get one thing straight, I frigging love planes! I could talk about them all day.

I have been traveling in a plane since I was merely a 11 months old baby and now I am almost 21 years old. So do the math and understand my obsession. People who know me, also know that I go to the airport weirdly early so that I can secretly admire the planes and have a little fangirl moment. I’ve been called out on it, for being annoying about running to the airport early hehe.

So I made a post on how to Travel like a Pro (I think I have earned that title). So here goes!

1. If you can, try to do online check-in. Most airlines have a separate line where you can collect your boarding pass and drop your bags. Also you might be lucky enough to pick your seat (I always go for aisle).
2. Carry a reasonable amount of money in cash form so that you can avoid the hassle of finding an ATM and instantly exchange currencies (imp. for us international kids).
3. Always use the bathroom before landing and taking off. The air pressure likes to do funny things to our bodies.
4. Girls: Don’t put makeup on when you are flying long hours. Instead when you land at the arriving airport, make a quick stop at the bathroom and touch-up and Voila! trick people like celebrities do when you arrive.
5. Walk around the airport as much as you can and in flight so that your knees don’t kill you when you land and you have to wobble your way home.
6. Always create a mini first aid kit for yourself in case you feel a little queasy. I like to keep everything from head to toe in terms of meds fixer.
7. Keep your carry-ons light, don’t be that idiot trudging along the airport and almost killing yourself when you put it in the overhead bins.
8. Always keep multiple forms of your important documents. Keep an e-copy on your phone, ipad, tablets, laptops and hard copies for your backpack. Screenshots in case the Wi-Fi isn’t on your side.
9. Comfortable footwear! I personally love these shoes for traveling and I will wear them always. The cushion in them do wonders!

10. When it comes to packing your bags, make a list of what you need and keep 2 pairs extra. Don’t hoard because I can tell you with 100% guarantee that you won’t need half of them.
