When it comes to traveling, not every trip is the same as the other, which means that some flights might look like an hour from take off to touch down. The next flight could be from Los Angeles to Milan, that flight is about 14 hours! So the question is – What are the best tips and tricks for having the best flight possible. 

   Starting out with getting comfortable – invest in cozy travel gear! A travel pillow, noise-canceling headphones, A cozy-chic airport look that will have you looking your best but also the most comfortable. 

   The beauty industry has now made a killing off of travel size products that are perfect for those long flights. Try a facemask to lock in moisture, or few eye patches to get rid of any puffiness that flying might give you, Even a hair bonnet  to keep your blowout looking fresh the whole flight! These things might seem a little extra, but we promise as experienced travelers – use your flight as a time of self care. 

    We also love a long ride to get organized in your business life as well as personal and find some time to catch up on your favorite book or show. The trick is to break up screen time so your eyes aren’t watering by the time you land from focusing on that screen for the last 10 hours. 

 Here’s a little breakdown to think about. 

   Have a snack, organize your desktop and pictures, read a book or Kindle, take a little walk and refresh, watch a movie, email catch up, crossword/mind game, and maybe another snack and movie ( lol ) Breaking up that long flight into various activities!

   Our last tips are for feeling like your best self after traveling, jet lag will get you when you’re changing the clocks on these long flights. A few reminders for feeling like the best you! – Avoid alcohol until you get used to the time change, stay majorly hydrated. And lastly, eating nutrient dense foods. We know that airport food is like the emotional support dog you wish you had but make sure you’re grabbing the right snacks, and avoiding processed sugars that will leave you feeling drained! 

 

We hope these tips have you feeling ready for that long flight!
