If your loved one is new to flying, then here are a few helpful tips to ensure everything goes smoothly
- Arrive at the airport at least 2 hours beforehand
- This is especially true for flying out of a major city hub. If you’re flying out of a major city and flying internationally, then you may want to arrive at the airport 2-3 hours before the departure time.
- Read up on the latest luggage requirements for an airline
- If possible, consider bringing only a personal and a carryon for your trip and avoid checking a bag. This will save you money since most airlines charge you to check bags (some charge you for carryons as well). It will also save you time since you do not have to worry about dropping your luggage off at the gate.
- Stay well hydrated prior to your flight
- Flights tend to dehydrate you, so do your best to hydrate well throughout the flight.
- Download the airline’s mobile app (if applicable)
- The mobile app allows an airline to send push notifications directly to your phone indicating you of any gate changes, delays, and more.
- Checkin online
- Checking into your flight online often saves you time and money. Then you can pull up your boarding pass directly on your phone without having to worry about losing your paper boarding pass ticket.
- Bring something to keep you warm!
- Some flights are hot and some are cold, I always bring an extra layer to keep me warm during a flight. If I get hot I can always take it off!

Track your loved one in real-time
It is relatively easy to track your loved ones adventure with today’s technology. I use an app called Flight Radar 24, which allows you to track the exact flight they’re on and pinpoint exactly where they are in the sky.
This is also great if you want to know if there will be any delays or exactly when they land.
You can use this app for other things as well, like exploring the map view and seeing every plane in the sky! It’s amazing to see how many planes are actually in the sky at once.
Summary
In general, it’s always good to stay in close contact with your loved ones, especially when they’re away from you! Letting them know you’re thinking of them with a simple text message goes a long way!
