Flight
To beat jetlag, book an overnight flight or one that arrives in the evening when travelling east.
When making flight reservation, remember to request for special meals if you have any food restrictions.
Make sure you reach the airport for check in well before departure time.
For a smooth ride on a plane, choose the seats located near the wings.
Take an anti sickness pill before the flight, if you are prone to motion sickness.
To prevent the swelling of feet walk in the aisle at intervals and try not to take off your shoes.
If you are planning to watch the in flight movie, choose the fourth or fifth row from the screen to avoid getting a neck cramp.
Do not accept any package from a stranger.
Report any unattended items in the airport or aircraft to the nearest airport or airline personnel.

If attacked try to crouch down and drive away.

Watch for evidence of tampering with your auto.
Avoid driving or renting expensive automobiles.
Hotel
Make your hotel reservations in advance, especially if you are visiting a place in peak season.
