get a jacket or a mediumly thick blanket...its cold inside the air plane and a 18 hour flight will only make it colder.

bring your own food...because that crap they serve on board will not be enough that's if you are able to stomach it...


Cash
...yeah i know this is obvious but most people don't....sometimes the plane has to do an emergency landing because of bad weather....and it could take hours before another clear cloud roles through...and if you don't have cash....you gonna be hurting....

and if you can try and get a seat all they way in the back...because they always try and fill up the plane from the front to the back...so sometime the back is empty...

The airlines I've been with gives it passengers blankets, however I'll still bring a jacket just in case wink

Comfortable shoes, socks, a book or magazine, a mp3 player or an ipod tongue

Have your passport and boarding pass ready too.

those blankets are thin though and hardly covers anything...and also a pillow would come in handy..

Yeah they are very thin !

Lool a pillow will be good too, the ones that they provide are literally flat and give no comfort. undecided

How about the DO NOTS of int'l air travel?
Re: Things You Should Have Before Boarding An International Flight by Nobody: 11:03pm On May 28, 2013
^^^^^^The do nots are

Illegal drugs...leave those things are home


Bags of gari, Iyan, fufu, and other things you think they wont have abroad scratch that...leave em

The juju that some people like to carry in their back pocket....leave that thing..its not gonna work where you are going.

But the best thing any Nigerian can leave behind is the Nigerian mentality....you are late on your NEPA bill so you

bribe the NEPA guy...NO NO NO NO....if you are going to the U.S.....and you bring that with you...the government will

put the screws down on you real hard.
....and you will have a hard time adjusting...because a 10 year old kid...wont

greet you how are you doing sir...he'll just tell you what's up.....and you tell him cool...and go about your merry

way....
