LPT request: I'm traveling on an intercontinental flight for the first time . What "rookie mistakes" do I need to avoid?
Later this month, I'm flying out to Australia and back for a few days. I *seldom* fly as it is, and have never flown international, and I wanted to get some tips/tricks/guidelines on how to make the process as simple, streamlined, and easy as possible. While I'm super stoked for my trip, I'm also worried that I might forget an important step and wind up getting hung up somewhere along the way; after all, I've never done this before and am very unfamiliar with international travel, and as the title states, I want to avoid any "rookie mistakes".
Also of note: I have a connection (both directions) in Fiji, and a fairly short layover period. If I don't leave the airport, do I need to check in with Fijian customs while I'm on layover?
E: I should also clarify, I am traveling solo and packing light; no checked bags. source
