Plan the trip very carefully
Of course first think you have to do is to find a plane ticket in the most reasonable price possible. However, if you like to travel to the United States first you have to take care of is your travel visa. Remember, that some people are not getting it, so you shouldn’t risk lost of money for the ticket. Entire process will take about several weeks, so you better begin it fast enough. Travel visa to States is valid not shorter than one year, so you won’t miss a chance.
While you are paying for your flight you need to be aware about additional options you may choose. First of all check the price of baggage’s insurance, it could be very useful for you. During long, intercontinental trip you registered bag is separated, and very often on board of entirely another plane. That is why a lot of times some luggage is missing. Of course, it is the fault of airport, but with baggage’s insurance you can get back not only your bag, but also a lot of money.
Another idea to think trough is additional baggage of many kinds. You need to realise, what type of items you like to take on board with you. Remember, carry on baggage is suitable only for regular items. You are allowed to pack in it only one litre of fluids, separated into small, transparent bottles, not bigger than 100 millilitres. Also, this type of bag cannot contains any objects with sharp edges, like scissors or knifes. That is why if you like to pack more liquid, extraordinary objects or a lot of food you better buy registered bag. On intercontinental flights you can buy it in very nice price, with some baggage’s insurance for a penny.
During long, intercontinental flight you may get bored, that is why you have to remember about some entertainment while packing your bag. You can take a laptop with some film or TV series, only remember to turn on the plane mode after departing. Also, this flight could be nice opportunity to read some interesting book or e-book, but choose wisely! If you have problem with sleeping in public, good idea is to take a blindfold and ear plugs with you, it will help you to get distanced from another people.
