If you have ever taken a long trip (6,7,8, 9 or 10 hours) you will know that it is not easy to stay in your seat and have a comfortable and pleasant trip. That is why at Viajestic we wanted to give you some tips to survive a long plane flight.

1. Choose the airline well

As usual, the choice of airline depends mainly on the price of the plane ticket. However, it is important that you do your research to be able to compare and that you pay attention to some details such as the plane model, the offer of economy class service, opinions on the comfort offered by the airline, score...etc.

2. Choose the seat

A comfortable seat reduces stress during the flight. Choose the seat carefully and pay attention to some details such as the space between seats, whether you want it near the window or in the aisle, near the emergency exit (they are more spacious), near the bathroom, in first class or in economy class. ...etc.

3. Be careful with your luggage

It is recommended not to overdo your carry-on luggage , since everything that does not fit in the trunk of the plane cabin will have to go under the seat and that means less space for your legs.

4. Comfortable wardrobe

It is important that you wear comfortable clothing. Loose clothing and compression socks are recommended to avoid blood clots. In addition, you can also dress in layers to adapt to the temperature of the trip.

5. Try to sleep

If sleeping makes the trip more enjoyable for you, it is important that you think about all the things you need, such as a neck pillow or an eye mask.

6. Movie, series, music or book?

Think about entertainment during the trip. Many people are not able to sleep and usually prepare a movie, series, music playlist or a book to occupy the time. If you haven't come prepared, the airline also has a free catalog of entertainment content.

7. Stay hydrated and eat something

It is important that you stay hydrated and drink water, juice or other liquids frequently. Avoid alcohol, coffee and infusions. And the same thing happens with food, try to eat something during the trip although choose the food well , very heavy or fatty foods can harm you during the trip.

8. Take care of health and hygiene

Minor aches and pains are common if we spend a lot of time sitting. Try to prevent muscle stiffness by stretching or standing when possible. Having your feet slightly elevated helps circulation, prevents thrombosis and reduces the risk of swelling and pain in the joints.

Since you will spend many hours on the plane, you need a small toiletry bag with some basic hygiene products, such as a toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant, moisturizing creams and lip balm, wet wipes...etc.
