Flight Day
- As it is going to be a long flight, wear something comfortable - preferably
cotton - a full-shirt and trousers. Wear your shoes.
- Be at the airport at least one hour before check-in time.
- Relax during flight, sleep as much as possible.
- For vegetarians, watch out before you eat - for you may get non-vegetarian
food even if you had asked for vegetarian.
Vegetarian food is generally bland (I call it ghaas-phoos) - fruits/juice
are good choices.
- [At Schiphol airport, Amsterdam, my veggie friend asked the McDonald's guy
for something vegetarian. He offered her a chicken salad. When she asked for
"no chicken", he came up with an egg salad. Oh well.]
- Never hesitate to ask questions. People are friendly and helpful.
- Trust No One. Be wary of strangers who appear to be extra friendly.
- Drink lot of fluids to get over with the jet lag as soon as possible upon
arrival.
