Book early and pick a window seat if you want to sleep, or an aisle seat if you like to move around easily.
Airplane air is dry. Drink water regularly (bring an empty bottle to fill after security).
Block out crying babies, engine noise, or loud passengers. Total game-changer.
Wear loose layers, compression socks, and slip-on shoes. Plan for changing cabin temperatures.
Bring a neck pillow, sleep mask, and light blanket. Use earplugs or calming music.
Don’t rely on in-flight screens. Download shows, movies, podcasts, and games before you fly.
Airline food can be bland or delayed. Bring protein bars, nuts, or fruit to keep your energy up.
Walk up and down the aisle or stretch in your seat every 1–2 hours to avoid stiffness or clots.
Keep essentials like charger, lip balm, passport, and toothbrush within easy reach.
Try to sleep or stay awake according to your arrival time to minimize jet lag.
