This Sunday I'll be going away. First time alone. I'm trying to make this as smooth as possible

I'll be taking 2 flights too. I think its called layover. I am gonna take a carry on cause i dont want my stuff to get lost. I'm a dude too so i dont have much to bring at that

Can you guys drop some knowledge for me? What else should i do or know?
 
How longs the flight?

And what kind of info are you looking for?

About 2 2 hour flights. Just info like any fee i should worry about, the issue with bringing shampoo and lotion etc on board

I'll only be gone for about a week so I'm packing light
 
Wear something real comfortable like sweats and some slip-on shoes if you have some. It just makes the check ups much easier and quicker if you don't have to remove anything like belts and chains and jewelry.

As for liquid, check your ticket or the airlines website, they are strict with the oz of liquid you can carry. I'd even avoid it since you're just doing a carry on, it'll just be too much hassle.
 
Be safe homie :pimp:

Good looks. I'll be going to Florida. So some bball shorts and a tee would be good
 
Get drunk.

Srs.

This. I very rarely fly sober. Mainly because I hate being cramped and agitated on planes. I get hammered in the airport, I've switched to bringing in my own airplane sized bottles so it cost me a lot less now.

A serious tip is to try to get in an emergency row if you're tall, that way you have more leg room.

If you're sitting next to a screaming baby get a drink or 2 immediately.
 
Be courteous, wear shades to people watch (***** hilarious), dress nice (yambs are everywhere), eat before (foods expensive), smell nice, don't get too drunk/high and most importantly charge your phone prior.
 
Headphones and an iPod full of music. Don't even worry about lotion and stuff. Leave them at home. Just go to Walmart or something when you land and get a few of the $1 travel size cosmetics. Should last you a week. Get drunk (or other things. Your preference.). Backpack and a duffel is all you need. Depending on your layover, tablet or laptop to pass time. BRING A PHONE CHARGER! one that plugs into a wall, and can detach into a USB only plug. Think that's about it. Oh, and gum for popping your ears in the air.

Well, I mean it's not different than flying with other people :lol:

Unless you mean it's your first time flying at all.

Think liquids are something like 4 oz, gotta be ziplocked (for carry ons). If you have anything larger I suggest you check it in to avoid any problems.

Baggage fees depend on the airline. A week? I'm assuming you're gonna check in a bag/suitcase + have one carry on (backpack?). Unless you're bringing both on.

4 hour flight time is nothing. Just pass out or something. Maybe sneak in a movie.
 
If you wanna carry on some dankright, put it in a medication bottle with pills and an actual seal :smokin
 
movie watch, get a aisle seat imo or window, sitting between two people aint fun.

Chew gum to stop that air pressure hurting your ears
 

:rofl: punk

Could I just have a small little suitcase as a carry on? I'm going to West Palm Beach for a few days then going to Miami for 3 nights to chill with 2 yambs I got out there so I'll be going out those nights mainly

I used to do this. Then I started flying regularly, and didn't want to look like country-boy-ain't-never-had-****-just-glad-to-be-here anymore.

Look like somebody. Wear sweats and a tee.

Seriously, dress comfortably. It's a slim-to-none chance you gonna be smashing on the plane or at the airport. Plus, you look like you do this all the time.

Real talk, if it's a Southwest flight or one where you chose where you sit.... Try to sit right next to the baddest broad on the plane.

I always fake it for theatrical purposes ( I imagine you will be more authentic), but when the plane starts to move, start to look a lil uneasy (look around a lot), then when you hit the runway, act a little more shaken up (subtly move around in your seat a bit) then come takeoff time, grab onto both your armrests and glance over at the dime sitting next to you (almost like your embarrassed to be lookin like that in front of her). If all goes as planned, she will look back, sometimes even hold your hand to ease your nerves... And just like that the plane ride just got a lot smoother.

Nothing calms the nerves like good game thrown at new yambs.

Thats not very good advice. If you see an adult looking shook and needing to hold onto somebody on an airplane, they have some issues.

Sure. Most airlines allow two carry ons.
