If your airline offers a meal service, and you have a specific meal preference or dietary requirement, be sure to pre-order at least 48 hours prior to departure. If not, walk with your own meal of choice to eat on board.

- Skin Moisturizer

- Headphones

- Toothbrush/ Toothpaste

- Flight Socks

They may not be able to pack your suitcase and carry-on, but they can certainly take a lot of the guesswork out of which airline to choose, which fare is best and which ones offer complimentary meals and bags.

Traveling on a budget doesn’t mean you have to settle for an unpleasant or uncomfortable journey. Use these tips on your next flight, and enjoy your personal comforts. You may just find yourself at the envy of the other passengers around you!

Happy travels!
