I try to avoid travelling by airplane, given the environmental impact of all that flying. But tomorrow I have to fly for work.

What are your airport/airplane tips?

    A tip I once got was to wait with getting on board until the very last boarding call. (Though I imagine that’s only if you travel economy class).

    There’s no real advantages to getting on board a cramped airplane and just waiting in it for a long time, is how it was explained to me.

      That depends if you have a carry on bag and the size of the plane.

        Yeah true, I did almost have to get my carry-on case checked in the other day because the luggage compartments were full…

        There’s a downside to everything I suppose.

      Also depends on the airline, Southwest is open seating so the later you board the better chance of getting shafted with a bad middle seat or being in front of the lavatory

        That’s why I never fly southwest. Had to do it a couple of times because of fight availability, and it’s just a stress-inducing system. I like to pick the seat I want and have it locked in in advance.
