[Avoid jetlag and airsickness] Be educated about where you are going
Always read up on the city before you get there. It pays to know a little about the basics such as transportation, weather, do's & dont's and an orientation of the city. Check out our travel blogs for inspiration, read your Lonely Planet guidebook, ask mates who have been there (ask us, we're travellers too!) or research online sites such as Go Girl. Once you're there, go to a Tourist Information Centre first - that way you can get an idea of what is going on, so you don't miss out on the good stuff.
