When on a long flight, is there anything you can do to get ready for your destination? What if that destination is several time zones away?
For me, I adjust my schedule to the time zone where I will be landing. That means setting the time on my phone to the new time zone. I try to adjust my eating and sleeping slightly at first to get close to the new time. After a day, I’m good to go.
On the plane, I have most everything I need in a small carry-on bag. I use small packing cubes or previous amenity pouches to keep things organized. Things like lip balm, sunscreen (yes, you can get a sunburn on board an airplane), lotion, toothbrush, and toothpaste are always in my bag. In addition, I have my phone charger, a power bank, a small notebook, and at least two pens.
The air on the plane is dry…very dry. To stay hydrated, I pack an empty water bottle. Once through security, I fill it up.
What do you do?
