How to prepare for a long flight.

Spending many hours in the air is not easy. Unlike short flights, long-haul flights can be boring and stressful.

Preparation is the best way to overcome travel stress and ensure a comfortable flight. Don't forget to prepare all the necessary things before boarding the plane. Fasten your seatbelt and get ready to fly stress-free," writes the NewsBytes website.

Take the essentials

Bringing a cozy blanket and a neck pillow will make your flight much more comfortable. Airlines can provide these items, but they may cause itching or be too thin, so it's better to bring your own. It is also recommended to bring an eye mask and headphones with noise-canceling function. They will help you get a good night's sleep during the flight.

Wear and bring comfortable clothes

It's always best to wear comfortable, relaxed clothes on a long-haul flight. Avoid stiff and itchy clothing. Avoid synthetic materials, as they can cause discomfort when worn for extended periods. The fewer valuables you take with you, the less stress you will have. Additionally, bring clothes that will keep you warm in case the airplane cabin is too cool.

Prepare for a time zone change

Long trips almost always result in jet lag, especially if you cross several time zones. To minimize its effects, there are a few things you can do before your flight.

Gradually adjust your sleep schedule the night before your trip so that you sleep in a time zone close to that of the place you are visiting. Also, make sure you are mentally prepared and well-rested.

Prepare entertainment for the flight

Choose the type of entertainment you can use while traveling. You can rely on the airline for in-flight entertainment, or you can bring your own entertainment. Make sure you have movies, music, and e-books downloaded to your device, as you won't have internet access in the air. You can also bring a book and games such as mini chess or Sudoku.

Bring snacks with you

Although long-haul airlines offer free meals throughout the trip and make every effort to be accommodating, it's worth being prepared and bringing some snacks in case the food offered doesn't meet your expectations or if you have any dietary preferences. Since the air at high altitudes contains less moisture, it is recommended to drink water more often.
