In Busy Terminals Stay in the Terminal
In busy places like Ramstein and Travis flights can come in quickly. If you are trying to travel it is best to be in the terminal. Bring a good book and talk to other people. Makes the long wait seem shorter.
Your Boarding Pass Should Show Your Final Destination
Make sure that your boarding pass shows your final destination. You don't want to get off the plane and find out that you are not signed up for the next destination.
Keep Your Destination Open
It is a good idea to keep your destination open. Any place in Europe or the far east is interesting. You can wait a long time waiting for the perfect destination.
