1. How To
Prepare
For A Long
Flight

2. When you travel, you get to
immerse yourself in a new
environment, see new sights and
learn about life in different parts of
the world. Traveling can also be
relaxing and can help you to
recharge both physically and
emotionally.

3. But anyone who travels a lot knows
that there is one big downside:
traveling by airplane. Short flights
are already annoying, but sitting in
economy class on a long flight can
be even more frustrating.

4. You’ll want to consider this when
booking your flight, and you’ll also
want to prepare for the flight as
best you can before you board the
plane. Here are a few tips for when
you’ve got a big journey ahead of
you.

5. When you’re booking a long flight,
the first thing to consider is the
airline. There are two main aspects
of an airline that you’ll have to
consider: price and comfort.

6. When you take overall experience
into account, the Telegraph’s latest
survey states that the top three
airlines were Emirates, Singapore
Airlines and Air New Zealand.

7. It’s also important to know when to
book your flight. Typically airline
tickets become available 11 months
in advance. Within economy class
seating, there are often a number of
categories of seating, ranging from
super saver to full economy.

8. If your trip is very long, you may
want to plan your trip to include a
layover for a night or two. This will
not only make your journey more
bearable, but it may also make your
trip cheaper because of IT fare
rules.

9. If you plan a layover, you may be
able to avoid flights in which you
have to sleep. While some people
are able to sleep on planes, many
people are unable to do so and
would benefit from getting some
rest in a hotel.

10. Regardless of how long your flight
is, it’s a good idea to make sure
you’re prepared for your flight.
First, make sure you have all your
travel documents and your ID.

11. You’ll need your passport, your
tickets and your destination
information. Keep these items in a
safe accessible place along with
your phone and keys.

12. Since it will be hard to find an
empty charging station at the
airport, it’s a good idea to bring
your own USB hub. It’s also a smart
idea to bring a portable battery
charger in case there are no
available outlets.

13. You’ll want to stay hydrated during
the your flight, but bottled water
can be expensive, especially at
airports. Instead, bring your own
empty bottle and fill it up at a water
fountain.

14. You’ll also want to bring your own
snacks to ensure that you’ll get
proper nutrition on your flight
without spending a bundle of
money at the airport. It’s a good
idea to bring protein-packed snacks
like trail mix and health bars.

15. You’ll want to bring noise
cancelling headphones and
earplugs so that you won’t have to
listen to airplane chatter or babies
crying.

16. Add a baseball cap or a sleep mask
and you’ll be ready to take a nap.
You’ll want to bring a few sources of
entertainment such as an e-reader
or an iPad to watch movies on.

17. If your flight is very long, consider
bringing a toothbrush and
toothpaste, as well as a clean pair of
underwear. Since planes are not
very sanitary, you’ll want to bring
hand sanitizer.

18. Also bring sanitizing wipes to clean
off your tray tables and your
armrests before you get
comfortable.

19. Long flights can be a hassle, but
with the help of these tips you’ll be
able to enjoy a relaxing flight and
save money while doing it.
