Long Flight? No Problem: Tips to Make your flight more Enjoyable!

Hi There!

Long flights suck!

On our way to England! June 2018

No one likes to sit in an uncomfortable airplane chair for over 10 hours!

So here are a few things that I recommend bringing with you on the plane to make your long ride in the sky more enjoyable!

  1. A Book- Maybe its one that you haven’t read yet that you’ve been itching to read for weeks! Or re-read one of your favorites!
  2. Download a Spotify playlist with your favorite tunes-putting earbuds on helps me relax and clear out the noise of crying babies or snoring passengers. It also helps me dose off to sleep.
  3. Download a movie or show- if you have Netflix it has this wonderful option to download shows and movies so that you can watch them later. It helps make time go by faster especially if the airplane doesn’t have any on flight entertainment.
  4. Headphones to listen to your playlist/movie-If you have an iPhone this is important because the other headphones they provide for you on the plane will not work for your phone.
  5. Download your favorite game- I currently have a word search game on my phone that has HOURS of play time and new searches every time.
  6. Portable phone charger- you don’t want to end up with a dead phone in a new place especially when you need to find a form of transportion to you hotel, Airbnb, etc. or get a hold of your friend or family member picking you up.
  7. A pillow- yes, its an extra thing to carry BUT they are great for leaning up against your window if you have a window seat, you can put them on the tray table to fall asleep that way, you can use them as extra back support (which I do), or even sit on them to make your booty feel extra comfy on the flight as well.
  8. Water-Always buy or fill your water bottle before you get on your flight (after you get past security of course). On long flights like these waters is a must! You need to keep yourself hydrated and the little cups of water they give you on board might help for a second but trust me. BRING YOUR OWN BOTTLE OF WATER. You will thank me.
  9. Extra Shirt- to change into before you land (because if you are like me and tend to sweat a lot when you sleep especially on a plane, you will want it).
  10. Comfy sweat pants- I like to keep them in my carry-on bag so that when I do decide to fall asleep I put them on and feel more relaxed.
  11. Socks-just in case your feet get cold
  12. Baby wipes- to wipe your face and also give yourself a quick “wipey bath” before you get off the plane
  13. Deodorant-so that after you freshen up with your “wipey bath” you can smell a bit better

Hope these help! If you think of any other suggestions I would love to hear what you can’t leave without to make your long flight easier!

Safe travels!xx
