You're sitting at home thinking about tomorrow's plane journey. Remember last time ? Remember how you felt when you arrived ? Aggravated, stressed, hot, tired, needing a couple of days to recover ? Did you make these mistakes ?

* Packed your luggage just before you left home.

Don't pack your bags a half hour before leaving. You know those vital papers, that book you wanted to read, or even your passport will mysteriously disappear at repparttar last minute. Always pack repparttar 134091 night before, and you'll find everything right there waiting !

* Arrived at repparttar 134092 airport late.

There's no worse way to start your journey than sitting in traffic a couple of miles from repparttar 134093 airport, watching repparttar 134094 minutes tick by. Leave early. Expect a lot of traffic and your journey will take extra time. Then you'll arrive at repparttar 134095 airport relaxed and near repparttar 134096 front of repparttar 134097 check-in line. If you get your first choice of seat you'll feel even better !

* Didn't prepare for repparttar 134098 plane journey.

* Dehydrated - repparttar 134099 air you breathe on a plane is very dry. If you want to avoid dehydration bring a bottle of water with you and sip on it during repparttar 134100 journey.

* Air Sick - if you suffer from motion sickness, and many people do, you can take precautions before you get on repparttar 134101 plane. It's too late when you've already started to feel sick. Take a motion sickness drug before you get on repparttar 134102 plane. Some can make you drowsy, but that's good on a long flight !

Your flights booked, and now it's airport time. Airport's can be stressful places nowadays, and these tips are designed for stress reduction...

* Leave home early

Airport stress starts repparttar moment you leave home. Don't sit in traffic watching minutes tick away. Aim to arrive at repparttar 134090 airport two hours early (usually required for International flights). Then if there's traffic delays, you've still got plenty of time.

* The check-in Line

Now you've arrived, next step's check-in. Usually, there's multiple lines you can choose from. Which looks quickest ? Maybe repparttar 134091 longest line is quickest ? Here's a couple tips. If you see lots of families and children in a line, avoid it. By repparttar 134092 time they've found all their tickets, and sorted their luggage jumble, they've taken twice repparttar 134093 time of a couple or single person.

Look for a short check-in line that's not easy to see. Look at each end of repparttar 134094 check-in aisles, and maybe there's a valid check-in hidden by a pillar, that few people see. Happened to me just recently, and cut a half hour off my check-in time - a half hour I spent relaxing in repparttar 134095 bar.

* How long to walk from lounge to gate ?

Maybe I should publish a guide to 'walk-time' at different airports ! I've walked anything from 2 minutes to 20 minutes after a call to Gate.

Ask at check-in. It's an important question. When that screen flashes 'Go to Gate', it's much less stressful if you know how long you'll take to walk there. All your good work of stress-reduction goes down repparttar 134096 tubes if you walk 5 minutes and then realize your gate is way repparttar 134097 other side of repparttar 134098 airport terminal.
