A long plane ride is not everyone's idea of fun
but we suggest the following to make sure
you stay comfortable:
- Time your flights to avoid crowded airports.
Travelling on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or
Saturdays usually means less congestion.
On other days, early morning flights are
your best bet.
-Bring a cotton sweater, pashmina or
windbreaker on board planes, trains
and buses, even in warm climates, as air
conditioning can be strong.
- Wear comfortable, easily-removable
shoes when flying. Shoes that slip on and
off not only make security a breeze but
the change in airline cabin pressure
can cause swelling, making snug-fitting
footwear uncomfortable.
- Plan to move around during long flights
and drink plenty of water.
