As for the airline tips. Let’s still do that at some point, shall we? And I even started my list for you. I do think some tips still stand, such as:
1. Get to the airport early – 2 hours before a flight is my standard. 2.5 during the holidays. Now updated to: get to the airport even earlier.
2. Wear easy to slide off and on shoes. Nothing worse than fumbling with bulky laces and clunky boots
3. Don’t bum rush to get on or (my big pet peeve) off the plane. For the former – geez the flight won’t leave without you. For the latter you’ll just end up waiting around uncomfortably in the aisle with every other genius who also had the idea to get up and wait along with you. Also, there’s nothing worse than being smacked in the head with some heavy bag as it slips from the grasp of someone trying to get it off the overhead. Or worse, hitting some old lady with your bag.

You get the idea. But yes, 3 airplane trips coming up in January so I’ll have things to report back on.

I’m guessing the newest airline travel tip will be: learn the art of still meditation since you won’t be able to do anything the last hour of the flight except sit there and breathe.
