10 Long-Haul Flight Hacks You Need to Know
Select a Seat:
Pick your seat carefully. Consider an aisle seat for legroom. A seat farthest from the galley and lavatories is quieter.
Stay Hydrated:
Dehydration is frequent on long trips. Drink lots of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine, which dehydrate you.
Dress Comfortably:
Wear loose, breathable clothes. Flight temperature variations are best adapted to with layers.
Carry-On:
Keep prescriptions, a change of clothes, toiletries, and entertainment in your carry-on.
headphones:
Enjoy your in-flight entertainment or sleep with noise-canceling headphones that block engine sounds and screaming babies.
Bring Snacks:
Since in-flight meals may not fit your taste or dietary constraints, bring your favorite snacks. Healthy snacks can curb hunger.
Stretch and Move:
Get up and move around the cabin to avoid DVT. Do ankle circles and knee raises in-seat.
Strategic Sleep:
Adapt your sleep routine on the fly to your destination's time zone. Use a neck cushion and eye mask to sleep better.
Entertainment:
Put movies, TV, books, and podcasts on your devices. Many airlines have in-flight entertainment.
Stay Clean:
Sanitize your seat, armrests, and tray table using wipes. Wiping these surfaces can lessen sickness risk because germs can remain.
