Stay alert, stay on top of what is happening.

If things don't seem right, they probably aren't right, no matter what you are being told.

Try to stay in shape. Even a small extra bit of physical fitness can make a huge difference, for people of any age. Don't neglect upper body strength.

Check out exits, where safety gear is located, etc, as soon as you board.


You are absolutely right.

If you're traveling with a spouse or children, make sure that they also know where the emergency exits are. "Hey kids, first one to tell me how many emergency exits there are gets a quarter."
