Back to school season means getting ready to get back on campus. For a lot of students, that means having to hop a plane and fly away from home. While it can be fun to travel, especially if you are with your friends, the flight process can be frustrating. Delays, miscommunication, and personal agendas can all get in the way of a smooth flight, and these are just some of the constant struggles.
1. Carry-on luggage
No one wants to pay checking fees when they don't have to. Whether you sneak your way into an earlier boarding group or you are just that lucky, you make sure you get some overhead space.
2. Making that luggage fit
If you are able to get some room for your luggage, you will stop at nothing to make it fit (even if it means getting a little creative and playing a real life game of Tetris).
3. The unpredictable seating arrangements
I think this situation is pretty self explanatory. Sometimes you are happy and sometimes you are not.
4. Preparing for landing
While yes, maybe you were asleep for the past 4 hours, the whole airport doesn't have to know it! If you like freshening up on the plane before landing, you understand the struggle. Powder flying everywhere, turbulence messing up your mascara, and realizing you left half your makeup bag at home.
5. Being exhausted after sitting for a few hours
For some reason, getting off the plane is more exhausting than catching your flight.
