Traveling by airplane can be totally cool. Just looking out the window to see the cities, towns, and countries pass you by can be enjoyable, but if you don't come prepared the trip might be a snore.

Usually on long trips it's good to bring a book or a good magazine. Or you could just watch a movie. Right before the plane takes flight the captain might mention some of the movies available to watch. Or you could just catch some zs.

Now I don't know about you, but airplane bathrooms are the worst. They smell bad so you really don't want to get a seat right next to one. You might want to ask an airplane attendant if there are any other seats available. If you're a person who has to go the bathroom a lot, then it's better if you get an aisle seat so you won't have to bother anyone while you're trying to maneuver your way around them. Also if you're traveling during daytime, but want to take a nap, then don't take window seat. The light might get in your way. But if you're a person who loves to look out the window during trips and other journeys (mostly children) then the window seat is perfect for you.

If you haven't ever tasted airplane food you're a lucky person. Airplane food isn't exactly gourmet. It might seem cool when the attendants are coming around, but it tastes horrible. If you're hungry then eat it. It's better to have something in your stomach than nothing at all. But bring some snacks, like goldfish crackers or popcorn or even a sandwich or an apple. But don't pack a buffet though.

When you're on a short trip, like 3 hours max, it helps to bring something or someone you like. During short plane trips there's no TV, and they usually only serve beverages. It's good to bring something keeps you busy. Like I said a book is good or even a crossword puzzle or a book of sudoku. You could bring your music player and just chill out or take a nap. It's your choice.

When getting off the plane you want to make sure you don't leave anything valuable or dear to you, because when the airplane attendants find things passengers left behind, they throw it away. After that you're off the plane and at your destination.

So now you know what to do on the plane, figure out where to go!
