5 strategies for staying comfortable on those long-haul flights
No one knows how to travel comfortably and alleviate jet lag better than the experts at Uplift, a new mobile application that provides a custom solution to reset your internal body clock to your new time zone. Here are a few tips for your next long-haul flight:Â
Wear comfy clothing
Keep it simple! Flying is always stressful, keep your packing minimal and your clothing comfortable and easy.
Use natural products
Any natural supplement that make you feel better while flying can help. Saline solution is great for dried out sinus, vitamins can help with fatigue as well as natural cough drops can sooth a dry throat. Try to avoid beverages that are dehydrating such as soda and tea and stick to lots of water.
Fly when others don’t
Everyone knows to take an early morning flight, avoid the weekends and to utilize those frequent flyer perks. It really pays to have that credit card, frequent flyer card and maybe pay a bit more for an earlier flight to avoid airport hassles.
Bring toys
Pack your stress balls, headphones, eye mask, your own shawl or small blanket. If you are traveling for business work can keep you occupied or for leisure a good book can take your worries away. Snacks, water and favorite treats come in handy when there is a delay.
Don’t expect to adjust to the time overnight
It takes 20 to 24 hours for your body to adjust for each hour of time zone change. So make sure to get natural light when you land. Exercise and a hot bath can help alleviate jet lag. Being stressed is one way to exasperate it, so do anything you can to focus on what makes you calm.
