Welcome to FT!


Relax and enjoy yourself!

As far as seat selection goes, I prefer a window. I never get tired of looking out the window! Clearly a YMMV thing. Whatever you choose, request a seat now, or else you might get a dreaded middle seat.

Usually you can get water and a soda of some sort on board for free. If I'm riding in the back and will be there for a couple of hours I tend to eat a meal before boarding, or bring a heavy snack for on board. (A box of chicken nuggets comes to mind as far as a heavy snack.) You will be able to buy a bottle of water once you pass security.

You may have seen threads about Kettles. Follow the advice on this thread and no one will accuse you of being one!
