International Air Travels (travails)

I have always wondered how mindlessly and almost absent-mindedly we travel by air. Most of us travel in cattle (economy) class. If you are one of those who travel non-cattle class, then you do not need any of these tips – lucky you. On the other hand, this blog is aimed at the masses not classes :-)

An idea came into my (hollow) mind to put up a sort of a tip-list that would help international air travelers get through to their destination without much ado. And hence the objective of this article (articleS - wait till you hear more!).

First, a background – what do I possess that you don’t, to comment about air travel? Not much – except inter-continental travel thrice in a span of about a year and a half. And a few more on the last 5 yrs.! And, several within the country. Over these travels (travails?!), I did pick up some tips which every traveler ought to know and I plan to blog them into the following parts

Part 1: Pre-travel
Part 2: At the airport – while departing
Part 3: On board
Part 4: In transit
Part 5: At the airport – while arriving
Part 6: Return

Most of these tips are either from my own experience or sourced from the web – and I’ll cite them wherever appropriate. So watch out for the tips from hereon...

First --> Tickets
