Sinclair James - How to Prepare for a Long Flight

Have you ever been on a trip which is 15- 16 hours long?

A long flight seems to be exciting for fist timers but the long and tedious wait to land can cause great annoyance as well as cramp. The invention of teleportation devices has not yet arrived so we, as mortals, still have to endure. The best that we can do is to prepare for it. Here’s how:

1. Being cheap is not worth it

Money should be valued and the amount that is to be spent on the first or business class section of the plane can be an extra allowance to where you are going. But trust me, after an hour or two in that economy seat you will start complaining. Of course, who would want to endure the long hours of a flight stuck in a seating arrangement which does not have enough leg room, unless of course beside you is the person of your dreams? Availing of a first or business class flight would be worth the money to get the fully reclining chair, 27 inches of legroom, edible meals, entertainment and breathing space. But if you don’t have enough money for this, then, read on.

2. It is not Advisable to Bring too Much Luggage

While checked baggage fees are inspiring travelers to carry on more and more stuff, on a long-haul flight this could burn you; anything that is under the seat in front of you just means less legroom and a more cramped living space for 15 or 16 hours. Don’t bring too much that you compete for your own sleeping space. If you are worried that the things you need are not available, no worries, developing cities like Ghana, Africa, Manila, Philippines and Hanoi, Vietnam are more industrialized than what you imagined.

3. Make sure you have proper rest before take off

Don’t depend on the long hour flight to get a long sleep. As attractive and intuitive as it seems to get on a long haul flight extremely tired, hoping to sleep the whole way, you are up for a disappointment. If you can and your eyes start to droop, get the eye cover and ear plugs ready. A few extra rounds of games would lead you to utter frustration later on. Visit us @ Sinclair James International
