Most days, you’d love to have a few distraction-free hours to spend however you please, so why do long flights often feel like a drag? Likely because you and all the strangers around you won’t have anywhere else to go for at least the next five hours, and you have limited entertainment options.
So instead of just waiting out the hours, with the right preparation, gear, and attitude, you can turn these flights into self-care sessions.
Here are three ways to make the most of your next long-haul flight.
Get Ready to Rest
Is your idea of self-care a long, luxurious nap? The right preparation can help you drift off easily on your next flight. A neck pillow, an eye mask for sleeping, and earplugs are essential for a relaxing experience. If you’re using a duffel bag for carry on luggage, packing cubes will keep these in-flight essentials separate from your other items.
You can’t bring a warm quilt and plush mattress on board, but dressing comfortably can make your seat feel like a cozy oasis. Wearing a soft cardigan or sweatshirt and comfortable pants makes it easier to curl up in comfort.
Pamper Yourself
You want to deboard feeling like the brightest, most charismatic version of yourself. With a few hours and a well-packed travel duffel bag, your next flight can be a rejuvenating experience.
A hydrating sheet mask can keep your complexion dewy, while a facial roller or Gua Sha stone can help keep puffiness at bay. Be sure to pack all your beauty essentials, including hand sanitizer, into a convenient trifold toiletry kit to keep your in-flight pampering easy.
Enjoy Some Entertainment
If your favorite form of self-care is watching a movie, reading a book, or listening to an uplifting podcast, long flights can be your best friend. For a fun-filled flight, be sure to keep your portable charger, cables, reading light, and spare headphones handy.
Before you board, download any movies, podcasts, playlists, or books you want to enjoy during your flight, and make sure your devices are fully charged. Tech organization gear and a backpack with a convenient laptop sleeve can keep your in-flight experiences entertaining and easy.
With these tips, you can learn to love long travel days.
