Travel Tip "Number One" has to be: Plan your trip as far in advance as possible. This will enable you to get the best deal in terms of fares, and let you sort out any difficulties while there is still time. After you have bought your ticket, especially if you have checked in at the airport, it is too late to discover that there are no facilities for getting your disabled grandmother's wheelchair on the aircraft. The Air Traveler's Ten Commandments Plan the flight well in advance, taking a day flight if possible, and/or arriving when it is bedtime in the zone of origin; adapt gradually. Lead as quiet a life as possible during the 24 hours before the flight. Cut back on or stop smoking before and during the flight. Drink little or no alcohol in flight. Avoid temptations to overeat during the flight. Drink plenty of nonalcoholic, non-sparkling fluids during the flight. Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes and shoes. Have a 24 hour rest period after a five-hour time change. Never attend important functions, nor make important decisions, after an east/west or west/east flight. Consider taking a mild, quick acting sedative if crossing time zones. Always check with your physician first.	Subscribe
