And I can assure that the last thing is painful and dirty as it implies some bleeding and the crew won't be able to assist you as we are not supposed to walk along the cabin while the plane is taxiing. If despite what I told you before, you still stand up, you should know that you might loose your balance in one of the turns, or any sudden move and hit yourself against another seat, another passenger or against the floor, And if the crew's shouts are not enough and you still decide to open the luggage compartment to take your bag and that mobile phone that can't be used inside the plane, be aware that during the flight it could have been dislodged and might fall on someone's head, injuring yourself or one of your fellow travellers, who by the way will be very happy to have such a companion.

Apart from the physical injuries you might have to face some economical ones in the form of a fine, have the great experience of getting escorted by the police to leave the plane and even could be taken to court if you decide to discuss with us elevating your tone too much. And without any intention to offend anybody, statistically you have more chances for any of this to happen to you if come from places like Italy, Poland or Morocco, and even better chances if you are of the type who is always right, has a too big mouth and drank a bit too much during the flight.

The most important tip before leaving home is to write down all of your information. This includes your phone number, destination name, flight numbers, airport name, and other information that may be of importance. If you happen to run into trouble when abroad, someone will be able to properly contact you. Next make sure you know where you are going, especially in airports.

They can be big. You can find layouts of different airports online. This will help you in being able to find your gate number quickly and efficiently. It is manditory that you also look at the airport travel guide before traveling. Many things have been limited and prohibited from being taken with you.

It is a good idea when taking lots of luggage to properly tag them, just in case they get lost. Also mark your bags with something that you can identify them by, such as with a piece of ribbon or tape. Once you arrive to your destination, it is a good idea to call back home and let everyone know you have made it.
