Air Travel Tips
Introduction
• Famous author Cesare Pavese said, “If you wish to travel far & fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness & fears
• What you think you can take with you while you travel by air?
• Some tips you need to follow
Pack Less
• Travelling with just hand-luggage should be your goal
• Carry a light suitcase or backpack that's just enough for you
• Consider carrying less clothes especially if your destination hotel have laundry services
• Take few toiletries along, you can use the destination hotel toiletries provided if your not particular
• Take less & you’ll travel cheaper (no check-in luggage fees)
Always Travel In A Hoodie
• They may have become the uniform of unruly teenagers, but hooded tops make excellent travel garments
• Just slip up your hood to retreat from the world of noise & light when you want to sleep on a flight/airport seat
Things You Should not Wear on a Plane
• Don't wear tight clothing, they can restrict blood flow in the confining space of an airplane seat
• Wear loose-fitting natural fiber garments
• Don't wear high heels which are restrictive, they cause a long list of maladies, from chronic foot pain to hammer toe
• Wear your most comfortable shoes like your hiking boots, as wearing the bulky shoes as opposed to packing them frees up some suitcase space
• Wear Freshly washed clothes• Don't wear offensive clothing• Don't wear warm weather clothing, do
layers they are a traveler's best weapon against such varying conditions
Carry Your Medicines
• Accidents happen & uncalled illnesses can come up so be prepared
• Always take band aids, antibacterial cream & ointments for cuts & scrapes
• Carry prescription drugs or over the counter drugs you usually use , airlines may not always have medicinal drugs you are used to
Tiger Balm is medicine of the gods
• This Singaporean-made balm
• Soothes sore muscles after a lot of travelling
• Also works as an insect repellent to keep the little biting beasties away
Bring Healthy Snacks
• Save yourself some cash, probably some heartburn & even some time on the treadmill by packing your own healthy snacks rather than relying on airport & airline food
• Simple, cheap snacks can keep you healthy & prevent your blood sugar from dipping too low during a long flight
• Crunchy snacks like carrot sticks, celery sticks & whole-wheat crackers are satisfying & require a minimum of fuss to eat in your seat
Bring Hand Sanitizer
• It's easy enough to be a vigilant hand-washer while you're still on ground, where soap & water are pretty easy to come by. The airplane bathroom has both, too, so make good use of them
• A simple preventative measure, like using hand sanitizer, can help keep at least some of everyone else's germs out of your system
• Staying healthy while you're traveling is important
Carry A Sleep Kit• Sleep kits can be purchased in most
airport gift shops or you can build one at home
• Basics for a sleep kit include a U-shaped travel pillow & an eye mask
• Keep with your luggage• Earplugs can definitely help• Noise-cancelling headphones can make a
world of difference• A small blanket or large shawl is the final
item you might want to stash with your sleep kit. It's nearly impossible to grab some sleep when you're shivering
Drink Water
• Air in the cabin isn't humidified, which leads to that all-too-familiar parched feeling
• Lips chap, nasal passages dry out, skin feels papery & likelihood of blood clots can even increase
• All these things can be mitigated by staying hydrated simply drinking water
• Don't try to substitute coffee, soda or a tiny bottle of booze for water either. Caffeine and alcohol will dehydrate you the opposite of what you're trying to achieve
