Travel hacks to make your flying experience better
Be it weather delays or in-flight problems, anything can happen when you’re travelling by air. It’s best to be ready for unforeseen unexpected events in advance. These basic and simple travel tips for air travel will show you the most ideal way to deal with everything related to when catching flights.
Important Travel Tips to keep in mind
1.Check your flight status before leaving home
The best time to track if your flight got cancelled or delayed is before leaving home. You can check this information on the website from your phone or laptop. You will get updates if the flight is on time, delayed or cancelled. So, if you are flying with Go Air, Check Go Air flight status on Delhi Airport’s website. If your flight has been cancelled no need to panic instead call the airline and check with the ticket desk.
2.Visit the airport lounge during a long layover
Rare flyers aren’t that aware of lounges. Well, if you have a long layover, you can easily relax in the lounge area. If you have a credit card then some of the credit cards come with additional perks that you can avail at the lounge areas in the airport. If you don’t have these perks on your credit card, you need not worry, you can easily enjoy lounge services by buying a one-day pass.
3.Check in to your flight ahead of time
These days you can do web check-in from home. This not only saves your time at the airport but also lets you grab a better seat and avoid all the chaos at the airport.
4.Check airport monitors for flight information
Like I told you earlier, you can check Delhi airport flight status or even subscribe to flight status updates on your phone. This will keep on updating you with all the information. If nothing of this, you can always check monitors that are placed everywhere in the airport that provide you with all the updated information on flight gates, timings etc.
5.Keep your essentials in your carry baggage
Even if there is a slight chance that your checked-in bags get delayed or lost, you should always have your essentials in your carry baggage. Essentials should include your phone charger, medicines, important documents and an extra pair of clothes.
6.Pick up anything you want to eat/drink on the flight from the terminal
Whatever you wish to eat or drink on the flight, you should pick from the terminal before boarding the flight. Usually, flights don’t provide food and even if they do it’s not as yummy as you can buy from the terminal. Terminals have various food chains providing multi-cuisine options be it Indian, Chinese, Pizza, South Indian etc.
7.Don’t expect a crowd less airport
The airport is not a place where you won’t find less crowd. Airports are always crowded with chaotic parking and crowded drop-off areas. So always plan in advance and try to leave early when you have to catch a flight to be on time to do all the formalities.
