Long haul travel can be an uncomfortable experience. But while we can't increase seat sizes, bump you up to business class, or make airplane less crowded, we can provide you with some tips to improve your comfort. In this article we set out some travel accessories that frequent flyers often turn to while on the road.
- Once you find a comfortable travel pillow it will quickly turn into your constant travel companion. The best travel pillows are designed to support your head and neck and enable you to sleep without neck strain or head bobbing. Some of the best designs from an ergonomic point of view are made from memory foam and buckwheat hulls. But many travelers also turn to inflatable neck pillows due to their extreme portability and lightweight design.
- A warm, thick pair of airplane socks can do wonders for your comfort, especially if your feet have a tendency to swell during the flight. Even if they don't,you'll find wearing socks far more comfortable than shoes on long distance routes. When choosing what clothes to wear on board avoid any items that have hard buckles or seams and stick to looser fitting clothing.
- The headsets provided on airplanes do not provide for a high quality audio experience. If you find you have to turn up the volume to maximum and press the ear piece to your ears to hear the dialogue on in-flight movies, then it's time to get hold of a pair of noise canceling headphones. Make sure you also purhcase an adapter set so that you can use the headphones on different airplanes.
- Airplanes can be cold, especially at night. It can be hard to get any rest when you're unable to stay warm. While most airplanes will provide blankets, these can be quite flimsy. Make sure you either bring your own blanket on board or ensure that you remember to pack a long sleeved sweater or cardigan.
- When considering what liquid toiletries you are allowed to bring on board with you, remember the 3-1-1 rule. That should remind you that you're allowed to carry on liquid and gels in three ounce bottles, stored in 1 transparent plastic bag that is no more than 1 quart in size. Moisturizer, lip balm and toothpaste are good items to have to hand while flying.
