Everyone dreams of traveling by plane at least once. Air travel tickets are much more expensive than trains and buses, so even today traveling by plane is a big deal for middle-class people. In such a situation, whenever they go to travel by air for the first time, they are very happy and excited.
Everyone makes a lot of preparations for their first air travel. They also take advice from people for this, because everyone is very scared for the first time. If you are also going to travel by plane for the first time, then you need to keep some things in mind. By keeping these things in mind, you can make your first air travel memorable.
Keep the ticket and identity card properly.
If you are going to travel by flight for the first time, then keep your flight ticket (electronic or printed) and government identity card (such as Aadhar card, passport, driving license) with you. If it is an international trip, then a visa and passport are mandatory. Keep these things in the bag which you have to carry in your hand. Never keep these documents in the trolley bag.
Take care of time
If you are going for a domestic flight, then reach the airport at least 2 hours before the flight and 3-4 hours before for international flights, because it takes time for check-in, security check, and reaching the gate. Even a slight delay can cause you to miss the flight.
Pack properly
Pack your luggage properly while going on a flight, because your luggage does not remain with you on the flight. In such a situation, keep a small bag with you, which contains essential items (such as mobile, charger, passport, medicine). Along with this, keep a check-in bag with you. According to the security rules, do not keep liquids, sharp-edged tools, and dangerous items in your check-in bag.
Follow the security check.
For traveling on a flight, you will first have to follow many security rules. For this, you will first have to go through a metal detector and bag scanner. For this, remove the belt, and metal items and keep them in the tray. Keep your boarding pass and identity card ready for checking.
Keep these things in mind during the flight.
If you are going to travel by flight for the first time, then listen carefully to what the airline staff is telling you. Keep your seat belt fastened during take-off and landing, so that you do not face any problems. Find out about the life jacket under your seat and the oxygen mask above it.
