✈️ The Do’s and Don’ts of Flight Travel

Your No-Stress Flight Starts Here – with Bracco Cruise & Travel

Flying should feel like the beginning of your adventure—not the test before it. As a certified travel advisor, I’ve seen what makes (or breaks) a smooth flight. Let’s get you flying smarter with these do’s, don’ts, and flight-proven tips!

✅ The Flight Travel Do’s

1. Do Check In Online (and Early!)

This saves time, lets you pick your seat, and avoids long check-in lines.
Pro Tip: Use the airline app for real-time updates on gate changes or delays.

2. Do Pack Your Essentials in Your Carry-On

Always keep medications, chargers, valuables, and one day’s worth of clothes in your carry-on in case your luggage is delayed.

3. Do Dress in Smart Layers

Cabins go from stuffy to arctic. Think cozy scarf, cardigan, and compression socks for circulation.
Pro Tip: Slip-on shoes speed up security—and are comfy for long hauls!

4. Do Arrive Early & Stay Updated

For domestic flights, arrive 2 hours early. International? 3 hours minimum.
Pro Tip: Sign up for airline alerts and TSA precheck if you travel frequently.

5. Do Use a Travel Advisor (That’s Me!)

A travel pro monitors schedule changes, reroutes missed connections, and can unlock upgrades.

6. Do Stay Hydrated

Airplane cabins are super dry.
Pro Tip: Bring an empty water bottle through security and refill before boarding.

🚫 The Flight Travel Don’ts

1. Don’t Overpack or Guess Bag Limits

Overweight bags = surprise fees. Know the limits before you fly.
Pro Tip: Use a luggage scale and print out bag tags when available.

2. Don’t Wing It with Documents

Have printed and digital copies of passports, itineraries, and confirmations—especially for international travel.

3. Don’t Assume Wi-Fi or Outlets Will Work

Always download movies, playlists, and documents ahead of time.

4. Don’t Ignore Seat Selection

That “cheap” fare may not include a seat assignment. I can help you avoid middle seats and get premium views.

5. Don’t Rely on the Airline for Comfort Items

Bring your own: pillow, eye mask, snacks, and entertainment.
Pro Tip: Pack gum or mints for ear pressure and dry air.

✨ Bonus Tips from Your Travel Advisor

  • Skip caffeine and alcohol pre-flight. They dehydrate and disrupt sleep. Opt for water and light snacks.

  • Bring hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes. Clean tray tables, armrests, and seatbelt buckles.

  • Use apps like FlightAware or Lounge Buddy to track flights or find quiet spots during layovers.

Unwind & Recharge: Your Guide to Post-Trip Recovery (and the Next Adventure!)

There’s nothing quite like returning from an incredible trip, but sometimes the transition back to everyday life can be a bit of a challenge. Whether you've been cruising the Caribbean, exploring Europe, or skiing in the Rockies, it’s important to take some time to recover, reflect, and start dreaming about your next adventure. Here’s how to do just that: 1. Ease Back into Your Routine It’s tempting to jump straight back into your busy schedule but give yourself a day or two to adjust. Use this time to get reacquainted with your surroundings, catch up on rest, and slowly ease back into your routine. This gentle transition helps your mind and body recover from the change in pace. 2. Hydrate & Nourish Travel can take a toll on your body, especially if you’ve crossed time zones or indulged in a bit too much vacation food (who could resist, right?). Replenish your energy by drinking plenty of water and nourishing your body with healthy, balanced meals. Your body will thank you! 3....
