15 Tips for Surviving a Long Flight - A Quick Look

http://visionaviationglobal.com/

Long flights: Do you love them or hate them? They are a necessity to get to the most distant destinations on the planet and some people love them, while others hate them. However long flights can actually be enjoyed if you plan ahead and arm yourself with things that will help to pass the time and also help you sleep.



Now check out top 15 tips for surviving long flights



1. Power up

Make sure you have all your chargers with you. In this way, you can keep your gadgets powered up throughout your flight. Alternatively, you can carry extra batteries or an external charging device in case your plane is not having electrical outlets. Tip: Keep your chargers organized with a portable carrying case.



2. Load up Your Devices

Before you board your flight, make sure that your devices i.e. Smartphone, tablet, laptop, and e-reader are loaded up with music, games, movies, books and the airline’s app.



3. Pack a Pillow (and a blanket)

There’re tons of different pillows on the market. Find out which one works for you and go with it. Also, all airlines do not offer blankets. So you have to bring your own or at least a cosy sweater.



4. Wear Comfortable Clothes

The temperature on a plane is rarely comfortable for everyone. You might be freezing, while the person a few rows away find it too warm. Pack some comfortable socks, too, but do not go into the bathroom in just your sock feet. Put your shoes on.



5. Sleeping Pills

The key to surviving a long flight is being able to get some shut-eye. I personally do not take any kind of pills (including melatonin) since I want to be fully aware in case of an emergency. But I know many people who swear by them. Usually, the drug of choice is Ambien however you could consult your doctor first before taking anything. Also test it out before getting on the plane.www.visionaviationglobal.com


6. Don’t Forget Your Eye Mask

Eye masks will help you create a perfect sleeping environment by blocking out all the light. Instead of using the cheap, scratchy eye masks, you can bring your own fluffy one.



7. Bring Earplugs

Bringing earplugs is self-explanatory and is important for a good night’s sleep. If you forget them chances are that the flight attendant will have an extra pair.



8. Noise-Cancellation Headphones and Soft Music

If there is a screaming baby near you or people speaking loudly, earplugs will not necessarily going to do the trick. In that case, wear your noise-cancellation headphones or ear buds and play soft music, an audio book or meditation music helps you a lot.



9. Pack Anti-bacterial Wipes

We all know that planes are dirty and germy. You can minimize your risk of picking up and spreading germs by using anti-bacterial wipes to wipe down your seat belt, seat back tray, arm rests etc. A somewhat sanitized area should help you relax and rest a little bit easier, especially on a long flight.



10. Bring Games and Something to Read

If you’re travelling with someone, bring a deck of cards or some portable games. My favourite game is Travel Scrabble. But you better bring the Scrabble Dictionary for challenges or can use the in-flight Wifi to check the dictionary online. To pass the time everyone needs something good to read.



11. Bring Snacks/Water

On a long flight, you can eat and drink according to your own schedule, not the flight crew’s so pack some snacks and bring water.At some major U.S. airports, taxi time can be up to an hour and once you’re in the air, it is usually forty minutes before the crew brings out the food and drinks.



12. Choose Your Seat Wisely

If you plan to sleep for most of the flight, the best seat available is next to a window so you have something to lean against.You do not have to worry about your seatmates waking you so they can use the loo. But if you think you will face any disturbance, get an aisle seat so that you can get up and easily stretch your legs.



13. Buckle up

If you are planning to sleep, make sure your fastened seat belt is visible over your clothing or blanket. That’s way; the flight attendants won’t disturb you when they do their safety checks if the seat belt sign goes on.



14. Bring Sleep Assistants

Bring a device that works for you like the First Class Sleeper. It provides neck and lumbar support and can make a long flight more comfortable. Also try the Travel Rest Pillow, which attaches to the seat back of a plane and gives more support to your head and neck.



15. Be Nice

Last but definitely not least: Be nice. You are all on this long flight together. So be pleasant to everyone, right from the gate agents to your fellow passengers. Put on a smile and bring three boxes of chocolates i.e. for the gate agents, for the flight attendants and for yourself.
