Have you ever been on a flight that crosses an ocean? The time can be very hard spent, especially if you are not prepared for all the possibilities of the flight.
I know that on a recent flight from the USA to England I was prepared in the ways that I'm about to tell you.
It helped to make the flight go along as smoothly as possible, at least in ways that I had control over, and the time that I spent on the flight was at times relaxing and at other times was productive.
Here are some tips to help you with your overseas flight.
1.
Prepare Your Bag well - There are things that you should carry on with you in a smaller bag that you can keep at your seat.
These should include some good noise canceling headphones, a pad and pencil in case you have a thought that you need to remember, spare batteries for your headset, a crossword puzzle book and a book to read.
2.
Pack an Extra Seat - Sitting for hours and hours can be hard on the backside.
Make sure that you have an extra seat packet (or use an airplane pillow if you forget).
Starting your trip with a sore backside is no way to go.
3.
Book an Extra Seat - If you are traveling with someone else try booking your seats one apart from each other.
Sometimes the seat in between the two of you will not be filled and you will have a little more elbow room.
Just keep these few things in mind and you will make your flight experience a more pleasant one.
Don't overlook the power naps that can be taken to help you be fresher when you arrive.
That way you will have a smoother transition with your flight lands.
