1Book online if possible. When they list the flights, they usually include how long each layover is.
2Many airline shut their doors 10 minutes prior to departure. Keep this in mind when booking.
3If you are connecting to a different airline, you may need to switch terminals. In that case, you will need to allow plenty of time to go through security.
Some airport websites (such as London Heathrow) have a calculator where it can give you an estimated time when connecting from one terminal to another (for instance Terminal 1 to Terminal 5.)
If you are staying on the same airline, usually the gates are all in one area (USUALLY!!)
Some airports, like Washington Dulles, have United Airlines, for instance, in C and D... and if you're connecting flight happens to be in the other terminal, you have to take the SLOW people mover. Allow PLENTY of time (15-20 minutes) for you to be able to connect via people mover if needed.
4If you have children, make sure there is enough time for them to stretch their legs... but not so much time they are bored out of their minds.

Guide to Check a Commercial Pilot's Credentials
1Become familiar with the minimum experience and education the pilots with the airline on which you are traveling must have. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) dictates that any person flying a commercial aircraft must have a commercial certificate with instrument rating, but each airline sets its own requirements for minimum experience. The FAA requires commercial pilots to have flown at least 250 hours, but many airlines may require 1,000 hours or more of flight time.
Make a call to the airline's customer service line. Ask how many flight hours their pilots are required to have before they are hired. You can also inquire as to whether or not the airline's pilots are required to have a college degree.
Additionally, there are aviation job search companies that do research on the hiring requirements and trends of all U.S. airlines. You can find information from many of these organizations via an Internet search as well as in flight industry publications.
2Remember that at any time before or during your flight you are completely within your rights to ask the pilot to produce documentation proving that he is qualified to man a commercial flight.
One item the pilot must always have in his or her possession while flying is a commercial Pilots certificate. This document proves that the pilot has in most cases at least the 250 hours of flight time experience required by the FAA, and will also note that he or she has taken and passed the tests necessary to be a qualified commercial pilot. To fly as a captain for any major airline the pilot must have an ATP licence as well as his commercial pilots licence. This is the top tier pilots licence and requires 1500 hours of flight experience and is very difficult to get.
3Go beyond the pilot if you're not comfortable discussing credentials with him or her; ask to speak to a supervisor with the airline or company you are using. Whether you're flying with a commercial airline or have commissioned a charter plane, the company with which the pilot is employed should be able to quickly provide you with documentation of the pilot's credentials. If the company is unable to do so, you should contact the FAA right away.

If you have questions to ask them, be sure to keep them to a modest number and avoid plucking at topics and questions that are personal or not of your concern.
3Be polite when requesting an autograph. Understand that the personage is probably tired, nervous or wanting a nice and laid back flight to their next destination. If you're the irritating fan or follower wanting them to sign every last item that you are carrying, you will come across as a goose and probably be removed from seeing the celebrity by in-flight security.
Fend to only request one autograph signing and if given the opportunity, one qualitative photo.
Refrain from asking the person to add or follow you on social networking if you do not know them personally or aren't at the same 'status' as them. If you are an executive or figure yourself, ask your publicist (if you have one) to go and ask theirs if you can sojourn with them for a while.
Part 5 of 6: Dining
1Order food appropriately. First class flying has plenty of perks and one of them would be the opportunity to enjoy gourmet food over 35,000 feet in the air. Aim to order what you know when it comes to dining though. There would be nothing worse than realizing that you are allergic to a certain ingredient while you want to experience first class flying in the best state you can.
Because the flight only has a trained nurse on-board, if something does unfortunately go wrong in relation to food, you may not have all the medical assistance you will require.
It's fine to save the opportunity to enjoy a delectable seafood dish at your hotel or restaurant on land. You could aim to eat things like salads, sandwiches, soups or a banquet of finger food to share with the Lady or Gentleman next to you if you feel so inclined.
2Voice your special requirements. If there is something an airline knows what to do extensively, that would be food variety. Even economy has a few options in their section, but because you are in first class, take the opportunity to suit the food to your pallet or requirement(s). Remember to ask your concierge or flight host to check with recipes that they meet your dietary needs.
If you have allergies like an allergy to nut products, be sure to ask a host to see the in-flight chef if they can cook a dish that usually requires a nut ingredient, to be substituted. The chefs on-board are professionally picked, and it's their job to meet the demands of first class passengers.
3Personally compliment the chef. After you have treated your taste buds to some of the globes most gourmet dishes, it's a great idea to go and compliment the Chef face-to-face. This meek gesture will be well-revered by others around you, and you may even get a complimentary dessert or get to taste one of their new decadent creations.
Chefs in First Class are usually very friendly and laid back individuals who like a good gastronomic chat. If you know a thing or two about the culinary arena, or perhaps want to learn more, it's encouraged after the dining service, to meet and converse with the chef(s).
Part 6 of 6: Concluding Your Journey
1Show appreciation. At the end of your voyage you should strive to thank everyone who made your experience worth-while. Thank your flight host or concierge by name and wish them an enjoyable rest of their day. It's even more encouraged to let the flight hosts know what you really admired during the flight.
A gratified individual is highly revered and you will be remembered if in the unlikely case you get the same host or concierge on your journey home.
In some flights you are able to meet the pilot. It's encouraged to warmly shake his or her hand and thank them sincerely for such an enjoyable flight. You will make their day to know that what they love doing is ultimately bringing the world closer together.
2Take all belongings. Remember to not leave anything behind except your smile and polite demeanor. Prior to landing and then again before exiting the aircraft, double-check under seats, arm rests etc. for any personal items that may be mislaid.
3Try donating to the Charity. It's most likely that the flight will have donation slips for a charity that they sponsor. If you don't have one in your arm-rest or seat pocket, you can ask for a spare one from your flight host. It's a sweet gesture and it will certainly not go unobserved.
4Write a review. You can express your appreciation by visiting the airlines website or airline review websites and write about your experience to inspire others to fly First Class and provide insight for the carriers probable candidates.
