The plane journey to and from your destination can be boring and uncomfortable, especially when travelling long haul or with children and babies. However, there are ways you can make your journey more bearable.
Before you board the plane, think about what you will need to take in your hand luggage. Obvious items to pack in your hand luggage are your passport, ticket and cash.Other essential items to think about are any prescribed medication, sanitary protection, valuables, decongestants to make the flight more bearable if you have a cold and possibly a change of top in case of delays.
Airline food can be fairly small portions so it is worth having a good meal before you get onto the plane. Also take some snacks in your hand luggage to ward off any hunger on long-haul flights. Remember that Customs will not allow you to take fruit or dairy products on the Aircraft, & current liquid restrictions will apply.
Long-haul flights normally have videos throughout the flight, but it is still worth taking a book, a few magazines and your personal stereo and music.
Keeping comfortable when you’re squashed into an Aircraft is not the easiest thing to do. Cabin pressure and the atmosphere can cause swollen hands and feet and dry skin. Whilst on the aircraft, try to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and limiting the amount of alcohol you intake.
Carry some moisturiser to help prevent dry skin.Remove your shoes so that your feet feel more comfortable, and if you are travelling somewhere hot, think about packing some sandals or flip flops for when you get off the plane the other end.
Take a warm jumper as you may get cold in the cabin. This jumper can also double up as a pillow if you want to try and get some sleep.Remember to pack earplugs and an eye mask if you have trouble sleeping with the normal aircraft and passenger noises.
If you suffer from travel sickness, make sure you have packed remedies, i.e. pills or wrist bands.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition where blood clots develop in the deep veins of the legs. There is evidence that long-haul flights, especially when passengers have little or no exercise, may increase the risk of developing DVT.
Make a conscious effort to walk around on the flight, especially if travelling on a long-haul journey. Wiggle your toes and do some simple leg stretches to try and get blood circulating. |
