My safety drill on any flight (some of it will be repetition of things already said)
  • Wear shoes during Taxi, Take-off, Climb, Descent, Landing.
  • Have passport and boarding pass in pocket.
  • Count the number of rows between me and the exits.
  • Check that if it's supposed to be there, there's actually a life-jacket under the seat.
  • Check the safety card for which exits to use in a ditching in water.
  • During the safety demo, when the seatbelt instructions are given, practice opening the seatbelt for muscle memory.
  • Put feet flat on floor during takeoff and landing.
  • and if seated in an exit row, visualize how to open the exit, those red arrows may not be visible when push comes to shove.

Also, regardless of what it says on the card or in the demo, if at an overwing exit, I'm tossing the door out and not putting it on the seats in the cabin.
