Refrain from guzzling down on the free booze when on a flight, as too much alcohol causes dehydration. Tank up instead on plain water.

When making flight reservation, remember to request for special meals if you have any food restrictions.If your baggage does not arrive on the same flight as you, fill out a Property Irregularity Report (PIR), with a description of the baggage, a list of contents and address to which it should be forwarded.
