Top Tips for a Long Haul Flight<\/p>\n
The most common question that crops in our mind when we are travelling long distance for the first time is –\u00a0 how would I spend 10 to 15 hours in an aeroplane ? Similarly I too had been getting quite anxious about managing a 15 hour flight \u2013\u00a0 how would I spend my time, that too in a cramped space? But, contrary to what I expected, my maiden long haul flight was quite alright.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Just to think that you\u2019ll be inside an aircraft for hours together might make you\u00a0 uncomfortable and claustrophobic . Luckily, for me all these assuaged after my first trip. The flight was quite satisfying, and the reason for that are enumerated in this article. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This blog is about top tips for a long haul flight.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1) Book your ticket on a top-notch airline ( preferably, Emirates, British Airways ) , to get maximum comfort. This not only assures a pleasant journey, also you\u2019ll reach your destination feeling fresher. Not only are the insides spacious and hygienic, they even provide passengers with an attractive\u00a0 kit with all essential items \u2013 eye mask, socks, lip balm, tooth-brush and tooth-paste. So you\u2019re saved from carrying these in your hand baggage. <\/span><\/p>\n Do not compromise on quality for the sake of slightly higher prices. Moreover, kids are quite happy as they are given a goody bag full of soft toys, puzzles and games to keep them occupied.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It is always a good idea to stick to one\u00a0airlines\u00a0for all your trips if possible, so that you can collect miles, and utilize it later on for discounts and upgrades. The same\u00a0principal\u00a0applies to hotels also. Keep your membership number handy while booking and during check-in, so that you don\u2019t miss on getting your points added. Members are also given access to lounges and other perks.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 2) What you need to carry in your hand baggage are\u00a0firstly,\u00a0 a\u00a0soft jacket\/ hoodie \/ scarf as the temperatures inside may be pretty low. A neck-pillow, to help you relax, get some sleep and not end up having a neck or back\u00a0pain .\u00a0My favorite calming product is essential oil (lavender or tea tree) which I bring along for soothing the senses.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Flights aren’t the place\u00a0to\u00a0 be\u00a0trendily dressed in the latest fashion.\u00a0 Wear your most comfortable, loose clothes and footwear!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Noise cancellation headphones \u2013 though you are provided with\u00a0 normal earphones, but that doesn’t cut off the background noise. As such having your own insulated ones is worthwhile.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For me the in-flight entertainment is sufficient enough for the entire duration of the journey. Depending on your requirement you can have your own\u00a0movies, shows\u00a0or playlist\u00a0downloaded .\u00a0This will come handy in case you don\u2019t find movies of your choice or if the system has some problem.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One important item which we usually miss is a pen, it’s required to fill up immigration forms and other documents. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Medicines are essential, you never know when you may need them. It’s best to carry all medicines\u00a0 with you in your bag.<\/span><\/p>\n Having these things with\u00a0you\u00a0 in\u00a0addition to a hand sanitizer and mask,\u00a0specially\u00a0now\u00a0during\u00a0 pandemic\u00a0time is an absolute necessity.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nGo For The Best\u00a0 – Top Tips for a Long Haul Flight<\/h3>\n
