Flying Teens

It is summer: parents are taking you on trips. Chances are you're going to have to ride on an airplane to do this. You need to know how though. On your carry on, pack your wallet, your phone, your iPod, a magazine, a notebook, a book (if you have one), a small pillow, and a dry snack. Don't get tied up during security, and be ready. It would help if you wore shoes that can be eaisly taken off and a zip-up jacket. Wear comfy clothes and an easy hairstyle; do not complicate things where they could be simple. On the other side of security, buy another snack you usually have and a new magazine. During the flight keep yourself entertained by switching up what you are doing. If you can fall asleep in a car you should be able to take a nap on the plane. Don't drink to much, and do what you can so you don't have to go to the bathroom. Come prepared with new music on your iPod and relax. Flying can be really easy if you are calm and collected throughout the process. Chill out! It is fun, and think of the vacation to come with an open mind. You'll be really excited when the plane starts to land and you are almost to the destination. It can be a very fun experience if you don't let yourself get bored and socialize with the people in your row.
