How can I make flying easy and fun?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Yay! Happy birthday! Sounds so, so fun. Travel light if you can, get your toothpastes/liquids either when you get to Vegas or in sample size, bring a book or something to do on the plane. Get to the airport early, about two hours. Security might take you some time to get through. Try not to check any luggage in, if you can. It’s costing people a bundle to do so. One thing I did notice the last time I flew, was that you don’t get seating assignments. You just get into a line and you sit where you want to. That might just be Southwest though. Have fun on your trip! Once you’re past the airport stuff, you’re golden.
