Taking a long flight might seem daunting but there are plenty of ways to make your journey more comfortable. Try these 5 tips to ease you into your next vacation.
Keep Your Feet Warm
Your feet can get very cold on a long flight. It is important to keep them moving and walk around, but if you want to stay really cozy and comfortable, invest in a good pair of slipper socks.
Comfortable Clothes
Dressing for the plane can be a difficult task, especially if you are going from a cold to hot climate. Loose layers are key. Being able to remove or add clothes to keep your temperature comfortable will help you relax and sleep. Pack a light sarong, which can be used in hot and cold weather, or as an extra pillow.
Watch a Series
Watching films can make a flight seem less boring. If you really want the time to “fly”, watch a binge-worthy TV series.
Snacks and Drinks
Although you cannot bring fluid through customs, you can bring empty bottles. Fill up as soon as possible and make sure you stay hydrated. You can also bring food and snacks onto a plane so you don’t need to worry about spending a fortune at the airport.
Break up the journey
If a long haul flight is still too daunting, consider breaking the journey and staying in a hotel for a night or two before you continue to your final destination. Most people want to get somewhere fast and don’t realize that breaking the journey can often be a cheaper alternative. It has the added bonus of exploring more countries too.
