Travels: Long Flights

What do you do when a long flight is ahead of you? Here are some things to think about before you board your flight.

Make sure all your electronic devices are charged. If you want to play games or watch a movie…you want a fully charged device.

Maybe you think you’ll watch the airline movies. Great idea…unless your TV doesn’t work. That happened to me once and it’s not something that can be fixed at 38,000 feet by the flight attendant.

Think about what you’re wearing. Layers are great as the plane may get cold or you may get warm. If you wear contacts, it might be a good idea to take them out and put on your glasses before the flight.

Pick a good seat when booking your flight. SeatGuru has a great map that shows the seats and describes them. Have some airline miles but not enough for a ticket? Think about using them to upgrade your seat.
