Long-haul flights can be exhausting, so stock up on everything that will make your trip a little more comfortable. A little luxury doesn’t hurt, so be sure to add your favorite things to your onboard kit. Don’t forget the essentials, toothbrush, deodorant, and hairbrush but also pack a sleeping mask and earplugs.
Aromatic pillow mists are great for calming you down. Maybe even spoil yourself with face cream.
It Doesn’t Hurt to Ask About Seats Again
Sometimes you don’t get the seat you wanted when you check in, but that doesn’t mean there’s no hope. The check-in system might show a full flight, but the agents at the gate will know if there’s absolutely nothing available.
Asking doesn’t hurt. It could be the difference between you getting cramped and you getting an exit seat with plenty of legroom. If you’re lucky, you might even score yourself an empty row.
Leave the Air Turned on
It can be cold on an airplane, but that’s nothing that a few layers can’t help. Though this is the case, it’s important to get the air vents going because it creates a force field around you.
Kind of like Star Trek, but even better. This helps with deflecting diseases from other passengers and helps with dry skin too.
Socks Are Essential
If there’s one thing you need to have in your travel kit, it’s socks. The more, the merrier because you will sweat while traveling, and there is nothing worse than having heavy, soggy socks weighing you down.
Bring an extra pair for good measure and put them on as soon as you get on the plane. You will feel fresh and cozy the whole trip.
Bring on the Snacks
There’s never enough food on the plane, and you want to be prepared. Flights can be long and tedious, and sometimes all you want to do is munch on something. Channel your inner Cookie Monster by packing your own snacks. These need to be able to keep you going the whole flight.
If possible, try and keep the snacks as healthy as possible. (Though a cookie or two really won’t hurt.) Keep the snacks small, so they don’t take up too much space in your bag.
