do not check anything
do not put anything in the overhead storage unless it's a suitcase
if you're bringing a backpack, put it "upside down" under the seat in front of you. the floor is gross, don't put your backpack down and then put that grossness against your back when you get off the plane
if you're in the back half of the plane, be ready to volunteer to move to an exit row just in case the opportunity presents itself before the plane takes off
if you're scared of flying, know that the plane is shaped physically to stay in the air. Why do paper planes fly? because of their shape. Real planes are shaped waaay better.
only get water, no ice
write down where you parked or take a picture and know how you'll get back
have your first meal planned when you arrive at your destination

Go to your gate before you explore stores.

Carry a bottle of water. You can't just get water whenever you need it.

Reminder that flight attendants only get paid when the airplane is in the air. It's the stupidest thing so don't be a asshole.

Don't be "that person" who has to dig into their bag in the overhead compartment. Nobody likes you.
