Ways To Enjoy a Flight Experience

THE DOs    &  

 THE DON'Ts

BEFORE THE FLIGHT

DO

• Remember to pack whatever makes you happy, your tea, your candles, your do-rag, or that American Apparel uni-tard that does wonders for you on the dancefloor. 

• Leave your house at peace, not mid argument with anyone and don't leave still mad at your dogs for digging up your newly sewn baby carrots. Its just unnecessary bad energy. 
  

DONT

• Rely on your cab booking in Sydney. Unless you live off Paddington's 5 ways, forget about it, book it way in advance. Also change over at 3PM sucks.

• Read Blender Magazine's 10 Rock Star Plane Crashes, from Buddy Holly to Aaliyah. Nuff said.
  

ON BOARD

DON'T

• Offend other people with bad smells. There's this new thing called the 'deodorant'. The person next to stinky doesn't care if stinky has just come off a connecting flight from Ireland. Hygiene is good for everyone. 

• DON'T Read other people's work on their laptops next to you. It makes them paranoid. Back off wing/woman! Yes I know you're seeing me multi-task -  composing a blog, reading up on The Grates and checking my work email, it's reading my email I don't like... 

• Stare at people in a strange way from behind them. When they turn around they spook the freak out. That's right other lady, you're freaking me out. [In retrospect I should have just stared back]
  

DO

• Listen to Soul Food with Angela Catterns or Reelin' In the Years with Glen A Baker, the two highlights on Radio Q

• Quietly glance over to the generation before us handle technology. Perhaps just use your peripheral vision if you want to be more polite. The lady over the otherside of the aisle going through the instruction manual on how to use an iPod... very interesting...

• Eat the radcupcake on offer with pink icing on it. The best morning snack onboard Qantas. Request Soda Water mmmm, bubbly fresh... 

• Give your spare change to UNICEF. Change For Good! 

• Say goodbye to the lovely flight attendants on your way out. They may even sneak you a chocolate or the hardly used bottle of red from business if they love you that much...
