What can we do to make our flight experience enjoyable? Traveling for hours in the same position is not easy. But you can’t help!
Today, we are discussing some ways to keep the flight experience enjoyable. Traveling is already stressful, and adding children can really ramp up the stress. Again, you can’t help. So, let’s deal with the mess.
Our most frequent flight is from Tokyo to Colombo, Sri Lanka, which normally takes eight hours. A considerable time in the sky. Here are some tips I sought out from the internet, and some are my own.
Comfortable clothing– This is the first and best thing I recommend. Dealing with tight jeans and blouses is a mess. Clothing should not be a hindrance at all. Lightweight fabrics like linen and cotton are always my choice. Plus comfort under-wears too. After my first flight experience, I had some swellings, and thereafter, I am using these compression socks. Then comes my comfortable shoes that are always easy to take on and take off. I feel so good when I am wearing comfortable clothing.
If you are traveling with kids, jeans with some pockets will be useful. I am saying.
U-type bed pillow- This is good only if I am sitting straight up. But I always prefer to have a window seat. I lean my head against the window, sometimes balling up my extra sheet as a pillow. it is so good. An extra pillow for your back will be a great support, too.
Bring entertainment with you- On my first-ever flight, I watched “The Great Indian Kitchen” movie. Later, one of my friends revealed to me her horrible In-Flight Experience. (IFE) Since then, I determined to bring entertainment with me. I can’t exist without a book in my handbag. My latest addition to an enjoyable flight experience is coloring books; this is one of the best ways to keep young children busy.
Some learning activities other than coloring are audiobooks, word puzzles, legos, and hidden pictures.
My Jacket – This is so useful for me on every flight because I am freezing inside the flight. I love the warmth always. Throughout the flight, I wear my jacket for extra warmth, and if your jacket is with a hoodie, you will get an extra advantage, a sign of “Do not disturb me.” You can avoid rude passengers either by your side or behind you.
No scented spray, please- Many people have allergies. My scented perfume could be a miserable situation for the rest of the flight. Normally, I am not in the scented product allergy category. But I had to face that unpleasant situation once. A particular smell put me in a pathetic situation, and it was so terrible. Hopefully. no one needs to convert the whole flight into a mini spa. Scented perfumes are not for an enclosed space. Let’s be conscious.
Caring is so important- We have no single idea of other passengers’ destinations. You may be flying for a long-awaited vacation, but others may be flying for a funeral or some moving event. Your every single behavior matters. Therefore, I am so keen on every movement because I do not want to bother others.
Having an enjoyable and decent flight is a must, and each in the flight deserves it. Hope you all have many more fantastic ideas. Shall we share?
