Dress comfortably

One of the suggestions for air travel is to prioritize comfort above all else, especially flights of more than 10 hours. A simple way to make your flight more comfortable is to wear the right kind of clothing.

Leggings, cotton t-shirts, hoodies and light sweaters are good choices. Especially since you can’t wear pajamas on a flight, unless you’re in first class!

However, don’t forget about your feet, so make sure your shoes are as comfortable as possible. Don’t make the mistake of wearing new shoes on a long-haul flight, and save the heels in your luggage for another occasion.

2. Charge your electronic devices at home

In this day and age, your electronic devices are the key to making your trip more enjoyable. Watching a good series, listening to music or playing a game for a few hours is the easiest way to make the time pass faster. However, that’s not going to happen if you run out of battery mid-flight.

So make sure all your devices are fully charged before heading to the airport. Some airplanes may have USB ports in the seats, but not all do, and sometimes they simply don’t work. Therefore, we recommend that you carry a power supply in your carry-on luggage.

3. Check-in virtually

Another advice before traveling by plane is to check in online, as it will save you a lot of time waiting in line to register. Most airlines now have a baggage drop-off section only for those who have already checked in online. So, if you have done all the paperwork, then all that is left for you to do is to drop off your bags.

4. Try to carry only hand luggage

If you will be traveling alone for a week and to a place with a hot climate, then you don’t need to bring a lot of clothes. In that case, consider packing some sarongs, shorts, pants that won’t wrinkle and, for women, one or two nice strapless, one-piece dresses and you’ll be all set.

5. Avoid wearing contact lenses

This accessory can be the difference between a relaxing flight and having to run to the eye doctor as soon as the plane lands. Dry cabin air dries out contact lenses, causing them to stick to the eyes. This is not only very uncomfortable, but it is also laborious to remove them afterwards.

If you have no choice but to wear your contact lenses, be sure to prevent your eyes from drying out with regular use of moisturizing drops. Otherwise, you could remove your contact lenses only during the flight.

6. Use compression stockings

One of the recommendations for long air travel is to wear compression stockings, as they help regulate blood flow in the legs. Especially if you tend to have problems with swelling in your feet or ankles.

In fact, good quality compression stockings will keep the blood flowing in your legs and can be the difference between smiling as you exit the plane at your destination or painfully dragging your feet down the aisle.

7. Bring a blanket and a cushion

If you plan to sleep during the flight, you will need a blanket and a cushion to be as comfortable as possible. Most airlines will provide you with these accessories on long flights, but it is always a good idea to bring your own. Especially if you are concerned about who has used that pillow before you.

If you don’t want the hassle of carrying a blanket or don’t have enough room in your carry-on luggage, at least bring a neck pillow. You will be much more comfortable and avoid unpleasant neck pains when you wake up from any nap.
