Stress Free Travel
Between being scrunched into a slim seat, mediocre food that you’ll typically be overcharged for these days, and frequent flight delays, air travel can be a drag for even the heartiest of us. You can take certain steps to help relieve the stress of flying. When booking a flight, remember to inquire about your preferred seating-be it by the aisle or window. Special meals can be supplied for those people who require them. Aim for a non-stop, direct flight when possible, to shorten your trip and avoid possible mishaps when transferring between flights. Make sure to read the information about the flight before booking it, because some flights may have a stopover. If you’re one of the many travelers who can’t stand standard airline food, think about putting together your own meal at home. Sandwiches or salads are the best choice of food to take and eat on a flight. Always dress comfortably when flying, the more relaxed you are the most enjoyable the flight. Business wear will just add to the stress of air travel, so dress casually whenever you can.
Bring along a real “page-turner” of a book to make the time pass quicker, preferably a mass-market paperback that can be easily carried in a jacket pocket or purse. Authors like Stephen King and Dennis Lehane can be your best friend on a long flight.
Arrive well before takeoff and make sure you’re booked okay to avoid being bumped. It’s also much less stressful arriving early, particularly with security lines that can take a good deal of time. If you haven’t brought your own meal or snacks, most airports today offer a decent choice of edibles ranging from salads to hamburgers that can easily be brought aboard. Then you won’t be at the mercy of the airline should the meal choice be between liver with onions and cauliflower casserole. Pick up some earplugs at an airport convenience store just in case. There’s nothing like a crying baby-or a snoring adult-to make a five-hour flight a never-ending nightmare. Skip the in house movie or movies, and just read a book or sleep. When using a small screen to watch a movie, it can ruin the experience.
