• It is time to board, all you need in your hand is your boarding card or phone, your reading material, or headphones.
• Watch the jetway, it can be wet, uneven, walk carefully.
• Introduce yourself to flight attendants if you have any special training (law enforcement, fireman, medical). They may need your help!
• Put your carryon luggage in the overhead bin on the opposite side of your seat, so you can see it.
• Check around your seat and in the seat back pocket before landing Put away computer, IPAD, chargers and plugs
• Be patient
• Carefully open the overhead bins
• Before pulling your suitcase out of the overhead bin, look around you, is someone under you? Do not pull the suitcase towards your head, but to the side
• Don’t flash your expensive electronics or cash while walking through the airport and while getting into your transportation.
• Situational awareness – is it raining at your destination? Snowing? Watch your step leaving the airplane (could be slippery, wet, icy)
• As you leave the airport, do not talk to strangers who approach you for rides, take only authorized providers. Take a photo of the license plate before getting in the transportation. Take a photo of the driver. Send photos to a friend.
