Tips for Stress Free Long Flights

The world is becoming smaller by the day. Flying long hours to distant locations is becoming increasingly popular. 36 This doesn’t have to be the case. Just follow this guide and you can enjoy the whole experience! Advance airport time

You are usually expected to check in 2 hours in advance. But it always pays to arrive a little earlier, as most people will arrive in the queue around this time. You are better off spending 3 hours seated in the departure waiting room with a good book than standing in the check-in queue! 37 Enjoy the long flight

On a long flight it is important to keep yourself occupied. 38 I still find, however, that a trusty book is the best way to kill time. I always start a book a few days before I fly so that I’m already into it before my flight. 39 Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a constant worry for long travelers, which is very harmful to your health. But it can be avoided by ensuring that the blood flowing around your body is kept moving. You can do the exercises advised by the in-flight video and magazines, take regular walks along the passage and drink plenty of water. Avoid jet lag

40 While on your flight, you can set your watch to your destination time as soon as you can and do your best to sleep when it’s night time where you are going, even if that means missing onboard meals. Also, you can try to stay awake until the evening in your destination. Then you’ll get adjusted to your new time zone quickly. A. Try to stay healthy B. Make full preparations

C. Unfortunately, the experience can be stressful for some people. D. There are two effective ways to prevent such a case happening. E. In a word, the earlier you are, the better chance you have.

F. Many airlines are now introducing good services on their websites.

G.These days we are blessed with in-seat technologies to keep us entertained
