SAVE this for your first ever or next long haul flight 👀 you’ll thank me later! Long-haul flights can be a grueling experience, I remember prepping for my flight from New York City to New Zealand, and being seriously worried about how I was going to survive. Luckily there was a short break in between in Los Angeles but I still had a 13 hour flight after already flying 6 hours. 🙃 With a little preparation, you can significantly enhance your comfort and overall journey. I have now survived a large handful of these long haul flights sooo let’s dive into some common things to avoid 👇🏼 🍔 Skip the heavy meal Opt for lighter meal before your flight to avoid feeling bloated and uncomfortable during the journey. 💧 Hydration is key Dehydration can exacerbate jet lag and discomfort. Drink plenty of water throughout your flight. I always carry some type of hydration stick or drink with me! 🍷 Limit alcohol consumption Alcohol can dehydrate you, disrupt sleep patterns, and worsen jet lag symptoms. Some people swear by drinking a glass or two to help them sleep... but it just doesn’t work for me. 🚶‍♀️Limited movement Walking around before boarding and during the flight makes all the difference. It can help your muscles and reduce the risk of blood clots! Also wear those compression socks!! 🎒Don’t overpack your personal item Keep only the essentials in your personal item so they’re always easy to find and within reach. Let me know if you’d like to see what I always bring in my personal item for flights 🙂 Remember, a little planning can go a long way in making your long-haul flight more enjoyable.
