Smooth Sailing: Effortless Hacks for a Stress-Free Flight Day

7. Get Comfortable In-Flight

Long flights can be tiring, so make sure you have everything you need for a comfortable journey. Adjust your seatbelt for comfort, use a neck pillow for support, and wear an eye mask if you plan to nap. Airplane cabins can be dry, so use lip balm and moisturizer to stay comfortable. Noise-canceling headphones or earplugs can make a big difference in blocking out distractions. If the plane is not full, politely ask a flight attendant if you can move to an emptier row for extra space. Bonus tip: Bring a lightweight scarf or blanket—airplane cabins often get colder than expected.
