No matter what type of travel you’re planning, you definitely want to plan everything out prior to departure. The following advice can be very useful.

Plan for such small comforts as an aisle seat, a quiet room or other little things that make you trip better. This seating choice allows you easy access to the lavatories, overhead baggage and flight attendants, and gives you more leg room.

Even when on long flights, never assume the airline will provide everything you need. If you think they will come in handy, pack a travel pillow, a light blanket and comfortable headphones. Don’t forget to pack a few snacks to make sure you have some food that you enjoy during the flight.

Are you concerned about the safety of the hotel you are staying at? Take along a doorstop. You can use them to keep doors closed too.
