It is surprising just how often things go wrong when you travel, perhaps through unfamiliarity, and if you have ever traveled by air you would know that how tough it is to be in good state after the flight and that is especially if you have long haul flight you better be prepared for some harsh realities. With that said, I would always vouch for the fact that it is better to be prepared than be sorry. And these can be minimized by using some basic tips.

If you are traveling economy class you are going to be cramped no matter what. And you don’t always get considerate people sitting front of you. They tend to think “I have paid for my seat and if I want to sit in the lap of the person behind – I will”. And that is exactly what happened to me on our flight from London to Sydney.

So after that experience I now try to get an exit seat as there is more leg room and in return all you have to be prepared to do is disarm the door and throw it out if there is an emergency.

I love to fly so on the few occasions when I have experienced little inconveniences I just accept it as part of the experience and concentrate on what is to come when I arrive at my destination.
