I try to avoid travelling by airplane, given the environmental impact of all that flying. But tomorrow I have to fly for work.

What are your airport/airplane tips?

A tip I once got was to wait with getting on board until the very last boarding call. (Though I imagine that's only if you travel economy class).

There's no real advantages to getting on board a cramped airplane and just waiting in it for a long time, is how it was explained to me.

That depends if you have a carry on bag and the size of the plane.

Yeah true, I did almost have to get my carry-on case checked in the other day because the luggage compartments were full...

There's a downside to everything I suppose.
