I really would recommend NOT bringing a knife unless you’re prepared to use it. It’s most frequent that weapons are used against the victim who has it rather than the aggressor (most of us don’t have the stomach to do damage, unlike the aggressor).

I also agree that if you need a weapon, you can borrow or get a sturdy umbrella at the city you visit & leave it as a gift for your friend.

I have come to like pre-boarding the airplane, which they allow me to do because I fly with medical equipment that I need in flight. I like hand carrying everything whenever possible–it’s a LOT less stress, especially on such a short trip. Also recommend non-stop direct flights whenever possible and earlier in the day rather than later flights.
