What’s more exciting than stepping into the airport, luggage in hand, ready to catch a flight? For many travelers, foreign exchange students, and language learners, nothing is! With so many people coming and going around the world, airports make for very busy places. Sometimes there’s just no avoiding an early morning flight, whether it’s because you have to be at your destination in time for a 9:00 AM meeting or because the ticket costs half the price of one for a flight leaving later in the day. And no thanks to the long lines at security, those pre-dawn take-offs can force you to set your alarm for 3:30 AM or earlier! You might think there’s no way you can get enough sleep on that schedule, but these simple steps will help you take off for your destination feeling refreshed and ready for the trip.
