FYI FLIGHT TIPS!!!!!!
Make sure you save this post and share with those who are planning their trips on their own ๐โฌ๏ธ
๐Know the difference between โdirectโ and โnonstopโ flights.
Unlike non-stops, direct flights can touch down at other airports on the way to their ultimate destinations. And while stops are built in to the total travel time, the potential delays they can cause arenโt.
๐Make sure you buy your ticket under the exact name that appears on your ID.
It might seem obvious to you that Betsy is a nickname for Elizabeth, but it may not to a skycap, a desk agent, or a security officerโany of whom could ask you to show ID with that name before boarding.
๐Select your seats ASAP.
Other passengers might be able to nab those seats 24 hours before the flight, when theyโre made available to everyone through the airlineโs website so choose your seat.
๐Get to your gateway city as early as you can.
Since delays stack up as the day progresses, itโs smart to book the first flight you can into a hub [if you have a connecting flight].โ
๐Double-check foreign document requirements.
Some countriesโlike Chile, Kenya, and Indiaโrequire a visa for entry; others, like South Africa, wonโt allow entrance unless a travelerโs passport contains at least two blank, unstamped pages. You need to be aware of such requirements before you make your flight reservations or you could get stuck Stateside, according to a source at the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs.
Or the best advice is - use a Travel advisor, to be bale to avoid all possible hiccaps !
