If you have sinus or ear problems, taking over-the-counter sinus medication about a half-hour before flighttime helps. Use the restrooms in the airport - much easier than on the plane... if you can juggle it, take anything you want to have in your seat with you (iPod, magazine, etc.) out of your carryon
before you board - you don't want to be standing in the aisle trying to get your stuff out of your bag so you can stow it above and holding up everyone else who is trying to board. Take one set of clothes in your carryon in case you go to one city while your luggage goes to another! Try to get a window seat - you will enjoy the view. Check the flight meal situation - you may not get a meal or may have to pay for one and might want to eat prior to boarding or bring something along with you. Take into consideration that you could be delayed after boarding on the runway which could add time to your flight (and you might get hungry!) If you have connecting flights, do not put your ticket into the seat back in front of you (where you might forget it)- and let the airline employees know when you exit the plane - they should be able to direct you to the gate you need ot be at to catch your next flight, and if you're running late, they can call the other flight to let them know you are on your way.
Oh, and unless you're flying first class, airplanes are smaller than they appear on TV!
