Arrive on time: Be at the airport well ahead of your flight time so you don’t hold up the boarding process or risk missing your flight.

[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]

Be prepared: Have your passport and boarding pass ready before you get to the front of the line. Remember that liquid toiletries cannot exceed 100ml and have to be in a see-through bag that is x-rayed separately from your hand luggage .

[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]

Be mindful of personal space: Airplane seats are often cramped. Respect the space of fellow passengers, and avoid leaning your seat back too far.

[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]

Keep noise levels down: Use headphones when listening to music or watching movies, and speak softly to avoid disturbing others.

[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]

Follow carry-on luggage rules: Adhere to the airline’s guidelines for hand luggage size and weight, and store your bags in the overhead compartments properly.

[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]

Be polite to the flight crew: Treat the flight attendants and crew with respect and follow their instructions

[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]

Respect those living nearby: Keep noise to a minimum when returning from a night out, dispose of litter responsibly, and do not yell or play loud music.

[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]

Keep an open mind: Embrace your surroundings by trying the local cuisine and venturing beyond the regular touristy areas.

Don’t be intrusive: Taking and posting photos of your destination is a key part of the traveling experience for many people but make sure that you are not intrusive. Always ask for permission before photographing bystanders or private houses.
