Tips to Survive a Long Flight as a Kosher Traveler

by Kosher River Cruise Kosher Tour Operator

Traveling can be an exciting experience, but a long flight can be tiring and overwhelming, especially for kosher travelers. It’s different from a kosher cruise where you can keep yourself entertained on board. If you're planning a long flight and want to make sure you arrive at your destination feeling rested and refreshed, here are some tips to help you survive the journey:

Plan ahead

Before your flight, do some research on the airline you'll be traveling with to see if they offer kosher meals. If they don't, consider packing your own kosher snacks and meals to bring with you on the flight. Additionally, check the airline's policy on bringing food on board, as some airlines have restrictions on what can be brought onto the plane.

Hydrate

Dehydration can be a common problem on long flights, so it's important to drink plenty of water. Consider bringing an empty water bottle with you through security and filling it up before you board the plane. This way, you can stay hydrated throughout the flight without having to rely on the flight attendants to bring you water.

Dress comfortably

Wearing comfortable clothing can make a big difference on a long flight. Consider wearing loose-fitting clothing and comfortable shoes that are easy to slip on and off during security checks. You may also want to bring a blanket or a sweater to stay warm during the flight.

Keep yourself entertained

Long flights can be boring compared to kosher cruises, so it's important to bring some entertainment with you. Consider downloading movies, TV shows, or podcasts onto your phone or tablet to keep you entertained during the flight. Additionally, consider bringing a book or a magazine to read during the flight.

Get up and move around

Sitting for a long period of time can be uncomfortable and can lead to muscle cramps and stiffness. To prevent this, make sure to get up and move around the cabin as much as possible. You can also do some stretches or exercises in your seat to keep your blood flowing.

By following these tips, you can survive a long flight as a kosher traveler and arrive at your destination feeling refreshed and ready to start your adventure.
