Anyone got travel tips for traveling on plane?

I know many are travelers. I usually travel by car, and haven’t been on a plane in a long time. Pretty nervous.

Any traveling tips you have?
Thinking about crowds and tight quarters is already making me overwhelmed.

Thnx. Headphones and music can help drown out all the sounds. My headphones are noise cancelling and really block out almost all sounds.

This sounds like it could really help me.

Don’t recline your seat without asking the person behind you…

Be polite to the flight attendants…

Be prepared for the person in front reclining their seat without asking your permission! Awkward social situation!

You might have to if the person in front of you does it, otherwise you’ll be squashed.

Just make sure you have some PRNs.

When I took a long flight of 7 hours I took extra clozapine to stay calm. But I’m afraid of flying so I could really use the extra meds.

PRN, That might be the biggest help. Plus the headphones. Crowds of people talking triggers me.

Standing in lines. Questions from security. Noisy people. It has nothing meditative to me :grinning:

We’re flying to Florida in July. My husband has a lot of airline miles from frequent travel, so we’re not paying much. Yay!

I’m sorry I missed the part about giving tips.

I don’t drink a lot before traveling, so I’m getting up and down to use the restroom sparingly on the plane. Moving around on the plane is uncomfortable.

Also, I watch movies provided on the plane to make the time go by quicker.

I also do a lot of people watching at the airport. This is engaging my attention and focus.

Good luck!
