First time flying ????
 

I'm going to fly for the first time for validation. So what are the things to know when booking a ticket, arranging goods, going for the air port, in the plane and departing ? All the things needed.

Advices are appreciated.

Make sure the pilot walks on and is not carried on! :thumbsup:

If the air hostesses start explaining what to do in the event of an emergency before you take off (showing you how to put on masks and life vests etc) then start to PANIC as it means that the aircraft has failed it's checks, and they aren't 100% sure it will make the destination. :ohmy:

I've never been on a flight wear this has happened though, so you should be fine. If it does occur though, get up, and start shouting "LET ME OFF" !!!! :thumbup:

Make sure your luggage is within weight and size limits for your airline. Check on their website to make sure you comply. Have your passport and ticket with you at all times.

Don't have anyhting sharp in your hand luggage. Take some bottle water and reading material.

Have fun! :)

Best advice is not to listen to 'some' people :rofl:

Make sure you remember your passport and ticket, and arrive in plenty of time.

And don't drink alcohol, it causes Jet lag effects to get worse, drink plenty of water, it causes jet lag effects to soften.

Unless you get off the plane and go straight the pub. ;)

Re: First time flying ????
 

I thought the plane was just an extention of the pub? :lol:

Jetlag is such a personal thing, I don't think you can say whether someone is going tosuffer or not until they actually fly and find out for hemselves. I always drink alcohol throughout a flight, and never get jetlag.

Re: First time flying ????
 

:lol: Indeed!

Re: First time flying ????
 

Oh and I forgot earlier, at check-in, it's customary to tip the check-in assistant 10% of what you paid for your flight. Failure to do so, will ensure the wrong tag placed on your checked baggage and it ending up in the wrong country.

You've been travelling in Africa haven't you? ;)

Re: First time flying ????
 

Is there any special form or any to be filled when i'm going out from my country and in Aus ?

Re: First time flying ????
 

I find travelling west then jetlag is OK. Travelling east and jetlag is worse.

Re: First time flying ????
 

Make sure your suitcase is full of fresh fruit and dairy produce.

Re: First time flying ????
 

Yes. You will be given a landing card on the plane for you to fill in. Be entirely truthful on the form and if there's a question you don't understand ask the flight attendant for help.

Make sure you do not bring any plant or animal products with you, including fruit, nuts, seeds or meat/dairy of any kind. They are not allowed here and could potentially land you in trouble if you are caught with them.

Most important thing is to relax and enjoy the flight. Get yourself some earplugs and some eyeshades and one of those U shaped travel pillows to take in your carry-on so you can sleep without the light or noise bothering you.

You know, I can't believe how sh*tty some of you people are to the OP. In 2 separate threads he's asked for practical help and for the most part all he's got is a bunch of w***ers who have nothing better to do than make fun of him. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Re: First time flying ????
 

Well said. The Barbie is no place to have a bit of a giggle.

Re: First time flying ????
 

Perish the thought!

What's a w**ker?

Re: First time flying ????
 

It is inappropriate language that is contrary to site rule 2, anyone using it should be barred from all further discussions.

Re: First time flying ????
 

Does that include quoted text?

Re: First time flying ????
 

No. ;)

Re: First time flying ????
 

Last time I checked that was swearing too.

Re: First time flying ????
 

Ok, c'mon, lets drop the subject shall we....... pretty please!! :blink:

Re: First time flying ????
 

Haha. :frown:

Re: First time flying ????

Re: First time flying ????

Re: First time flying ????
 

Time you cleared your nose out then, its leading you astray :lol:

Re: First time flying ????
 

What do you mean? ;)

Re: First time flying ????
 

Jobs for the boys and all that,cant you hear the back scratching;)

Re: First time flying ????
 

Fabulous. Ban me for pointing out that a relatively new member was being abused.

Oh, and as far as I'm aware w**ker and sh*tty are allowed. There are only 2 words on the list which the sweary filter takes out, so if you don't like my language report it.

Re: First time flying ????
 

Was the lord abusing his member on an open forum AGAIN ???? Frow him to the froor centurion:D

Re: First time flying ????
 

No time for work,im duvet/pillow hunting,the tea towels are a bit ragged:D

Re: First time flying ????
 

SHame you're so far away, I have a lovely duvet, and some great sheets and stuff, nice soft towels too..... :sneaky: Can send you a couple of tea towels if you like :lol:

Re: First time flying ????
 

Keep the sheets,they were from my marital bed,there weren't much use to me then:lol:

Re: First time flying ????
 

A) this is the Barbie so lighten up. No one was 'abusing' the new member. B) you used inappropriate language, which is against the rules and other people have been banned for far less. Deal with it. C) I have already reported you thanks. :rofl:

Re: First time flying ????
 

No wonder they are as good as new :lol: :o
