- Asep Haryono | 3 Tips to Prepare for Leaving for a Plane Trip - Powered by Blogger
The recent Air India crash has understandably raised concerns, but statistically, air travel remains one of the safest modes of transportation. Modern airplanes are built with advanced technology and strict safety protocols. Pilots undergo intensive training and regular assessments.
Getting ready for a plane trip can be exciting whether you're off to explore a new country, heading to visit loved ones, or flying for work. But let’s be honest: the days leading up to your flight can be stressful if you’re not well-prepared. To help you make things smoother and less chaotic, here are 3 simple but effective tips to get ready before you leave for the airport.
1. Pack Smart, Not Last Minute
We’ve all been there rushing around just a few hours before a flight, trying to cram clothes, gadgets, and toiletries into a suitcase while hoping nothing important gets left behind. Avoid that mess by packing at least one or two days in advance. Start by making a checklist of essentials: passport, charger, clothes appropriate for your destination, and any medications
Stick to the golden rule: pack light. Remember, you're not moving! Lay out what you think you’ll need, then cut it by a third. You’d be surprised how little you really need. Also, check airline baggage rules ahead of time to avoid overweight fees or surprises at check-in.Pro tip: Roll your clothes instead of folding them it saves space and reduces wrinkles!
2. Get Your Documents Ready and Easy to Reach
Before you leave for your trip, triple-check that all your important travel documents are with you and not buried at the bottom of your backpack. Keep your passport, boarding pass, travel insurance, and ID in one easy-to-access place, like a zippered pouch or travel wallet. If you’re flying internationally, make sure your passport has at least six months of validity.
Also, take photos or digital scans of important documents and save them to your phone or email, just in case you misplace something during your trip. It’s a small step that can save you from a major headache later on.
3. Stay Hydrated and Get Some Rest
This one’s easy to overlook, but really important. The day before your trip, make sure to get enough sleep and drink plenty of water. Flying while tired or dehydrated can make you feel miserable and jet-lagged, especially on long flights.
Avoid heavy meals and alcohol before your flight, especially if you’re flying early in the morning. Instead, opt for a light meal and keep a reusable water bottle with you. You can usually fill it up after security.
A good night's rest and staying hydrated will help your body handle the stress of travel better and you’ll arrive feeling fresher.
Its still Safe
Traveling by plane doesn’t have to be stressful or chaotic. With just a little planning like packing early, organizing your documents, and taking care of your body you can enjoy a smooth and stress-free departure. Bon voyage, and don’t forget to enjoy the journey as much as the destination!
Ok Guys.

SHORT VIDEO
This is a short video recording of my flight log with Garuda Indonesia on the Pontianak–Denpasar route from October 2010. It’s been a long time, but it’s fun to look back and remember. I really miss flying.Video by Asep Haryono.
I prefer a window seat so I can see everything outside, including the airplane I took a picture of it's the same type as the one I flew on with Garuda Indonesia
