You must remember these things before you get on a plane

In the whirlwind of stressful events at the airport, we can easily lose our heads.

At the airport, we have to face a series of stressful situations - from security checks, through passport control, to looking for the right gate that will take us to board our plane. It's easy to make a mistake once you're on board.

A former flight attendant, Julia Więckowska, has some practical advice for all those who are stressed.

In one of her latest posts on Instagram, she shared with fans tips on what to remember before boarding the plane.

One of the most important tips is to take a blanket or sweatshirt with you on board. There is often air conditioning on the plane, which can make us feel colder with each passing minute of flight.

In addition, it is worth packing all the necessary medicines and... a pen, which will be especially useful during a long trip, in your hand luggage.

Additionally, Więckowska warns that the seat pocket is not the best hiding place for a phone and passport. "Especially when you get off the plane in a hurry. I can't count how many times I found documents and other personal items there," she said in the post.

She emphasised that the plane crew also does not like delays, so it is worth taking this into account.

Finally, she reminded us that it's worth just being nice to other people. "It's nice to say 'please', 'thank you' and respond to the crew's greetings while boarding!"
