It seems amazing that here in the third millennium – in this age of satellite technology, and international video calls over the Internet – that anyone still has to travel anywhere. We at Third Millennium Man are adept at face-to-face conversations across oceans, using computers or even mobile phones – but most of the time we find that we actually have to be there. Sometimes there’s no substitute for a flight and meeting that person in person.
Which means that we regularly do a lot of flying – much of it across the Atlantic. And once the novelty has worn off, that means hassle. Queues, security checks, delays, just to name a few. And that’s even before your flight takes off! But once we’re under way, we at Third Millennium Man believe that we have nurtured the perfect routine to make every flight as hassle-free as possible. While we can’t actually guarantee every flight you’ll ever take will be perfect (there’s always going to be weather, warm-air-pockets, turbulence, as well as other people’s kids and inconsiderate passengers), these five items will give you your best chance of still being sane by the time you disembark.
