Air Travel

Travel is a pleasure. However, if the way from our house to our destination  will be done  by plane and we all know that going  from one place to another is not very pleasant, you may probably want to avoid it. Here we are some tips to make air travel more enjoyable:

1.Assure your seat in advance. As soon as you have confirmed your flight is advisable to telephone (or through the airline’s website, if allowed) to reserve your seat if you want to make your air travel more enjoyable. The best thing to do is to book a seat in the front row so you won’t have someone in front and enjoy a little more space to stretch your legs. If you can not book that seat, another good option is to guarantee a place on the corridor to get up frequently without disturbing others.

2.If you want to make your air travel more enjoyable, entertain yourself. The journey can be long and it is best to use that time with something to distract you. Music, movies, reading magazines or hobbies. Make sure you have in  your bag your MP3 player, your laptop, a book or a magazine to make the time go faster during the flight.

3. Another way to make your air travel more enjoyable is to dress for the occasion. Loose, comfortable clothes are required. If the trip is for business and you are forced to wear a suit it is best to opt for a soft and elastic fabric or carry it in your bag and get changed afterwards.

4. Maximize your comfort. The flight is a compendium of discomfort. Make sure you have at hand certain objects that can make the air travel more enjoyable: chewing gum and ear plugs are essential to offset the pressure change and if you have in mind to sleep during the trip, be sure to bring a small pillow (many airlines provid it  on board, but just in case, it never hurts to bring one).

5. Follow the protocol if you want to make your air travel more enjoyable. The rule here is simple: do not do to others travelers what you do not want to be done to yourself. So respect the  sharing of armrests,treat well the flight attendants and if your neighbor  talks a lot  and your intention is to sleep tell him bluntly, but with education, he’ll understand.

6.Be positive. A good way to have a more enjoyable air travel  is to leave behind the concerns that are at home and at work and not think negatively during the trip (we recommend at this point not to see the series “Lost” on board). Think about the good time you will have on  your arrival at the destination.
