If you’re traveling internationally, you’ll most likely get jet-lagged. Nobody likes it, and everyone thinks there is no escaping it, but that’s false. You can combat it by going for an early jog on the first morning of your trip.
Since the sun will be out, the boost of vitamin D will help your body adjust to the new schedule.
Get Some Work Done
Long flights can be boring, but not everyone can sleep through them. There are many ways to entertain yourself, but sometimes being productive and getting some work done is the best thing to do.
If your laptop is already there, why not? Additionally, it’ll make you look really cool on the flight.
Stay Away From Plane Blankets
Long-haul flights will always have blankets and pillows on hand, but if you care about hygiene, don’t accept them. They hardly get washed and they are used by many other passengers.
This is not the best decision for your health, especially if you’re sensitive to skin conditions or any other ailments. It’s simpler and better to just bring your own.
Always Be Kind to the Staff
This should be obvious, but not everyone does this. Always be kind to the flight attendants and all the other people working in the service industry. You can always take this a step further by learning their name.
You’ll probably get preferential treatment, and both of you will be happy.
Have a Heart-to-Heart
Most people would rather keep to themselves on a flight, but people who travel often might like getting to know new people. You might find yourself on a flight with someone who likes to chit-chat, and they could be really interesting, but you’d have to indulge them with a conversation to find out. Getting to know someone new is fun, so make the most of your long-haul flight.
You’ll be stuck next to someone for hours so make it count. But you don’t want to bother anyone, so keep having conversations with those that are keen.
