Charge your devices

Most of us rely on a bunch of electronic devices every hour of every day, like tablets, smartphones, laptops, and MP3 player (there are still people hanging onto them). If you are willing to bring them along with you to the flight, then it is a must to keep them fully charged before boarding the plane.
Some of the newer planes have outlets next to the passenger seats where you can charge any device, but still, there are many planes that don’t, so it is best to charge them before you end up with a dead phone.
It is a good idea to consider portable chargers in order to save yourself and your devices, especially if the road to your destination is going to take hours.
Check TSA regulations

Passengers have to go through a lot of regulations by the Transportation Security Administration in order to guarantee the entire plane’s safety.
To make the whole process easier, you need to respect many things, even if they don’t make any sense to you. For instance, don’t pack liquids over 3.4 ounces or they will throw it away. If you need these liquids, then pack them in the checked luggage.
If you have your laptop with you, then make sure to take it out when going through security. However, your smartphone and tablet can still be in your carry-on bag. The final step is taking off your shoes before going through TSA, so make sure there are no holes in your socks.
These regulations change constantly, so make sure to check them before any trip!
Go to the doctor

Even though you feel fine and there is no medical issue that you need to worry about, it is still important to drop by the general practitioner’s office before your plane day.
After all, no one wants to deal with a sudden medical emergency when in the air, especially if you used to deal with a medical condition in the past or you are pregnant.
If you are on medications, you need to make sure all your prescriptions are updated for the time you will be out of your hometown.
