1. Always maintain a separate travel pack so as not to forget anything/need a checklist/when packing in a hurry. 2. Put everything on charge until about to get out of the door. 3. Download Google Maps of area if possible. 4. Verify "just-in-case" medication travel stock. 5. I prefer to check my luggage in to simplify going through security, so double-check that checked-in luggage has been tagged with priority before it goes in 6. Use local airline lounges when possible and get to know the staff. If you need to take a nap, they'll come and wake you up. 7. If travelling internationally, learn how to say "please", "thank you" in native labuage before going there.
