How to Prepare for a Long Flight
Introduction
Vacations are exciting, but long flights can be daunting. Having traveled internationally extensively, I’ve gathered some effective strategies to make those long journeys smoother.
Get Some Rest (or Lack Thereof)
Consider getting minimal sleep the night before your flight. This way, you might fall asleep more easily once on board. However, if you need to drive a long distance to the airport, prioritize a good night's sleep instead. A mild sleep aid, like Tylenol PM, can help induce drowsiness. Some travelers find a drink helps them relax, but be cautious not to overindulge and become disruptive.
Arrive Early
Arrive at the airport at least three hours before your flight. This early arrival not only helps you avoid long lines but also increases your chances of picking a good seat. Additionally, checking in early reduces the risk of being bumped from an overbooked flight.
Packing Essentials for Your Carry-On
Whenever possible, stick to carry-on luggage to avoid the hassle of checked bags. Here’s what I recommend:
- Entertainment: A fully charged MP3 player loaded with a variety of music for every mood can be a lifesaver. It keeps you entertained without needing to rummage through your bag.
- Reading Material: Always have a good book on hand. Choose something light and engaging, like an action or science fiction novel, to keep your mind occupied if you can’t sleep.
- Warm Clothing: Bring a thick, soft sweater. It serves a dual purpose?"keeping you warm or acting as an extra pillow.
- Games: If you enjoy video games, a handheld console is a great way to pass the time. These games are perfect for keeping you entertained and making the flight feel shorter.
Stay Engaged
The key to a more enjoyable flight is keeping yourself busy. Whether through music, reading, or games, staying engaged will make time fly by and help you avoid clock-watching.
Conclusion
Long flights don't have to be a chore. With these tips, you can turn the journey into an opportunity to relax and unwind before reaching your destination. Safe travels!
