Air travel has changed and evolved immeasurably over the years. As such, as a passenger on either a short, inter-state flight or on a long-haul journey to the other side of the world, it is often hard to keep abreast of the seemingly constantly updated guidelines. So, with this in mind, continue reading for the latest guidance for passengers flying on both internal and external flights.

 

Before You Fly

First and foremost, planning your trip in advance will ensure that you do not encounter any issues with the check-in process or, when you are submitting your belongings to the custom officers through the departure gates.

If you are flying to another country, you should first check if there are any required, or even advised, vaccination requirements or courses of medication you need to take ahead of your trip. For shorter flights from one state to another, it is still worth checking on the specific travel requirements stated on the official website on your destination airport.

 

Check-In

For those vacations whereby you have to hire a cart to carry your own, your partner’s, and your children’s luggage across the airport, it is highly likely that you will need to queue and check in via the traditional route.

However, if you are a solo traveler, then downloading the specific airline application to your smartphone or tablet will save you considerable amounts of time in the airport. Here, you can check in online, choose your seats and even select your meal choices through the app, all in the comfort of your own home.

When you arrive at the airport, you can then simply drop your bags off in the designated area and head straight through to the departure lounge. Additionally, make sure that you are carrying no prohibited items in your luggage, the most notable being the following:

  • Ceramics
  • Cat or Dog Fur
  • Non-Prescribed Medication
  • Soil, Plants or Seeds
  • Raw Foods

 

Delays & Flight Information

By far, the most effective way of ensuring that you are kept fully abreast of any delays to your flight, changes to the gate you need to be at, and any other information pertaining to your journey is to download the airline’s application to your phone.

If this is not an option, you are best to position yourself by the departure gate as soon as possible and make sure you sit near a screen to watch the live updates.

 

Your Flight

On the flight itself, you should always pay attention to everything the cabin crew tells you, specifically to watch and take note of the safety briefing before the flight takes off.

If you are ever involved in an aviation accident, then check this out for help and advice on how to proceed should you want to file a lawsuit and to familiarize yourself with the entire process.

CDC guidelines form the basis of cleanliness and safety on every airplane leaving the United States, and therefore, once you board and take your seat, you can rest assured that everything is as it should be.
