Comfort in the air

Many people, like myself, enjoy traveling. It allows us to broaden our horizons, meet new people, experience different cultures, and create new memories.

For domestic travelers, it may be more convenient in terms of "time" as it does not require a long travel time, especially if you have to take a plane.

Traveling abroad often involves long journeys, with a minimum of 4 hours or more. Many people are reluctant to travel internationally because they believe that sitting for extended periods can be uncomfortable and even lead to sleep deprivation. However, there are ways to make long-haul flights more bearable. Here are some tips for making the most of your journey.

Pinnie's "bird-like" flying experience allows her to say that "Comfort in the air" or how to travel comfortably is very important. This is because when the plane lands at its destination, we will have plenty of energy left to do other things and not feel sick. Let's see how to do it. Drink plenty of water.

Staying hydrated during long flights is crucial as it prevents dehydration. Drinking plenty of fluids, such as water or juice, is essential to maintain the body's water balance. Don't worry about frequent urination; it's better to stay hydrated. Hot tea or coffee can also help warm you up, as the cabin air tends to be cool. Socks and slippers are important for comfort.

Frequent travelers have discovered that carrying a small pair of socks or foldable slippers can significantly improve their travel experience! These items not only provide comfort for your feet but also offer warmth to your body. Some airlines, such as Emirates, allow passengers to request socks and eye shades from the cabin crew, eliminating the need to bring them. However, it's always a good idea to carry your own for peace of mind. They are lightweight and can be easily carried on board. Remember, the key is to pack light and minimize your belongings.

To ensure a smooth and comfortable flight, it is crucial to pack light and efficiently. Avoid carrying heavy or bulky items in your carry-on luggage. Instead, prioritize essential items that you will need during the flight, such as medication, wallet, phone charger, sweater or scarf, neck pillow, toothbrush, and toothpaste. It is worth noting that most airlines provide toothbrushes and toothpaste upon request, especially on long-haul flights exceeding 5-6 hours. Additionally, consider wearing your glasses to avoid the hassle of searching for them in your luggage.

(Apologies, I couldn't find any pictures without my glasses, so here's a picture of me in sunglasses instead. lol) For those who wear contact lenses, if you want to travel comfortably and with peace of mind, I recommend taking out your contact lenses. Air pressure has a significant impact, and the air in the cabin is usually drier than the normal air outside the cabin. This can easily lead to dry eyes. While artificial tears can help to some extent, for true comfort, switching to wearing glasses is the best option.

Always keep your skin moisturized.

Sitting on an airplane for a long time can dry out your skin due to the low humidity and air pressure in the cabin. Therefore, it is very important to keep your skin hydrated. Apply a moisturizing cream regularly to your hands, feet, body, and lips. Don't sit in one place for too long.

This is extremely important. Try to get up and walk around periodically to relax your muscles, especially your legs, calves, and back. This will help improve blood circulation, reducing pain and overall fatigue, and making you feel more comfortable.

To ensure maximum comfort during your flight, it is advisable to loosen or remove any tight-fitting clothing, including belts and jackets. Opt for breathable fabrics like cotton and avoid constricting garments that may hinder your movement. Loose-fitting clothing will allow you to find a comfortable sleeping position more easily. Tight clothing can make it difficult to relax and sleep on the plane.

I hope these tips will help you feel more comfortable and relaxed on your flight.
