Should you haul yourself out of bed in the middle of the night to be on the first flight of the day? Should you pack snacks or rely on airplane food? Who should you turn to if your flight is canceled? Summer travel always brings highs – long-awaited vacations and sunshine – and lows – busy airports and packed planes.
Dress for the journey, not the destination This is one of Andrew’s go-to pieces of advice. It might be tempting to embrace the vibes of your summer vacation destination and board the airline wearing shorts, flip-flops and a sunhat. But the airplane cabin is its own ecosystem and whether it’s hot or cold outside will have little impact on the inflight temperature. As well as being comfortable, you also want to allow for any eventualities.
