Tips To Relax On Long Airplane Flights

Being a Soldier stationed in Germany, I have experienced many long uncomfortable flights.Throughout the years I have come up with many ways in which I can actually enjoy the long flights.

When my travels began I dreaded every flight I had to take. Whether it was going home on muchneeded leave or to a deployment; I was always thinking of ways to make the flight more enjoyable.The following tips have contributed to my new love of flying and I am sure they will help make yourcommute a more enjoyable one:1. Purchase a travel pillow before your flight. These pillows arecreated just for long trips. It can be hard to find a comfortable spot to rest your head and a travelpillow will provide that comfortable zone.2. Get some Dramamine and take the recommended dosagebefore the flight. Be sure to consult your doctor before taking these, as you should with any type ofmedication. This great medication will reduce the chances of motion sickness and prove to makeyour flight more enjoyable.3. Wear loose clothing but take something extra along to cover up with.Loose non-restrictive shirts and pants will aid in your comfort a great amount. No matter what theweather is like outside; remember that inside an aircraft at a high elevation it tends to get cold sotake something extra along to cover up with.4. Take some snacks along and extra cash. You neverknow when you might crave something extra and the stewardess just may have what you want.Remember extra drinks and snacks are usually around five dollars apiece.5. Pack your personalhygiene items in your carry-on. It seems like every long flight I am on, I always seem to get badbreath and/or get sweaty in all the wrong places. Having toothpaste, deodorant and baby powderaround with give you a good refresher midway though the flight.6. Along with your personal hygieneitems you may want to pack a portable DVD player or laptop. You can get some work done, play agame or just relax and watch a movie. Many of the new jets play movies for you but many times themonitor is too far away and you may not like the movie.7. If you are a drinker a shot of your favoriteliquor may just help you doze off to sleep. Most long flights offer shots of popular alcohol at fivedollars apiece. If this is something that may appeal to you, take some extra cash along. Many peoplehave trouble sleeping on flights but a shot of broosky sends them straight into happy land.
