The most important thing about getting a flight, even more important than remembering your passport or luggage, is waking up. Here are some tips.

Even flights from Omaha to Phoenix will not wait for you if you sleep in too late. Delaying a flight is not something the airline is prepared to do, to you've got to wake up in time. This may seem like a simple task, but I'm sure you can think of a number of times where you have overslept and failed to make a meeting or got to work too late. It can happen when you're flying too.

First things first, set more than one alarm. You'll probably be dreaming about flights from Phoenix to Minneapolis, and transferring to take flights from Seattle to Toronto so it's essential that you set an alarm that will wake you. By setting two alarms you can guard against any possibility that there will be a problem with the battery. It was recently revealed that iPhones failed to adjust for Dayligh Savings Time, and thousands were made late for flights and various meetings and jobs, so make sure you set more than one alarm.

Going to bed can also help you ensure you get up in time. There no point going to bed for only two hour if you flight is a very late night or early morning one: this will only make you more likely to miss you flight and have to pay a big fee for changing the flight: not many airlines will allow you to change your flight when it's entirely your fault. By going to bed at least eight hours before your alarm is set for ensures that even if both alarms fail, you'll still wake up naturally in time to make your flight.
