Also, pack clothing you can wear during the day and night. Finally, shove under garments, socks and undershirts into large shoes and boots packed into your suitcase.
How to stay friends with flight attendants
Make sure you know what gets under the skin of flight attendants, so you're not "that person." Here's what flight attendants loathe most:
