By making some preparations before you board a plane, you can make the flight much more comfortable. In fact, you can make things easier for your whole trip !
Plan a trip and find an expert in that field to give you advice. Read books about the places you are going to visit. Learn the language. Knowing a greeting or two will make the local people like you more.
Pack lightly. Too much luggage will break your trip and your back. Pack what you need, and pack well. Airline now weigh your suitcases, so you'll have to pay money if they're over the weight limit.
Don't take lots of things with you on the plane. You're only allowed to have two bags nowadays, and that includes a purse or backpack. Take only the things you need most.
Bring a few health items. You should get travel insurance(保险). To keep yourself healthy, take some medicine with you.
The workers on the plane aren't there just to serve drinks. Their main job is to keep every passenger safe. Respect and follow their instructions.
