Long-haul flights
If you’ve ever been on a long-haul flight, you’ll know that it can be challenging to keep yourself rested and occupied for that many hours, especially if you’re not flying first-class.
If you’re not careful, you might step off the flight looking like you’ve just wrestled a bear.
While some people revel in the thought that they have all those uninterrupted hours to catch up on sleep, work, a book or movies, others dread the idea of being cooped up for so long.
If you’re the latter, check out these 5 tips on how to make your flight more bearable.
Wear a comfortable outfit
Since you’ll be in those clothes for over 24 hours – from the time you leave your home till you reach your destination – you’ll want to make sure that you’re wearing a comfortable outfit.
The goal is comfortably casual chic with loose-fitting tops and bottoms, and have a jacket with you in case it gets cold.
Loose-fitting clothes aren’t only for your comfort, they also don’t restrict blood flow, which could be an issue when you’re sitting for so long.
Bring along some creature comforts
These include a travel pillow, an eye mask and ear plugs to help you sleep.
Also bring along your own earphones as the ones provided by the airline may not fit comfortably or have great sound.
This is also so you can start watching movies earlier in case the flight attendants don’t pass around the earphones until the plane reaches cruising altitude, which can take almost an hour.
