Handy tips for plane travel
Plane travel can be comfortable and enjoyable if you plan ahead, pack wisely, and take care of yourself during the flight.
Plan ahead
Book your flight well in advance to get the best deals and avoid last-minute stress. Choose your seat in advance and pack only what you need.
Pack essentials in your carry-on
Pack essential items such as medication, travel documents, a change of clothes, and electronics in your carry-on bag. This will ensure that you have access to important items during the flight.
Wear comfortable clothing
Wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely. Choose layers that you can easily take off or put on as the temperature changes.
Pack snacks
Pack healthy snacks such as fruits, nuts, or granola bars to keep yourself fueled during the flight. Avoid heavy or greasy foods that may upset your stomach.
Pack a travel pillow and blanket
Pack a travel pillow and blanket to make your flight more comfortable. This will help you rest and sleep better, especially during long-haul flights.
Use earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones
Use earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones to block out noise and distractions. This will help you relax and rest during the flight.
Move around
Move around during the flight to prevent stiffness and improve blood circulation. Stretch your legs, arms, and neck, and take short walks up and down the aisle.
Bring entertainment
Bring entertainment such as books, magazines, or a tablet to keep yourself occupied during the flight. You can also download movies or TV shows to watch offline.
Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your flight to stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can dehydrate you.
