Give Your Seat Up
This tip sounds counterproductive to your vacation, but please bear with us. There are times when airlines will overpack a plane, so they’ll ask passengers who’s willing to delay their flight. If the occasion arises, raise your hand and be the kind soul.
Airlines won’t forget your good deed, and they may do anything to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible. This might even include bumping you up a class during the next flight, which will make your vacation a million times more enjoyable. You see, being kind has its payoffs. Of course, if you’re in a rush, then you should pray that someone else is going to be the kind soul for that flight.
