Listen "Preparing for Your Next Long Haul Adventure"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, listeners are provided with handy tips for making long haul flights more comfortable and manageable. Key suggestions include changing into fresh clothes between flights to mentally reset, avoiding wide-leg pants due to unsanitary bathroom floors, and wearing scrubs for their comfort and practicality.The idea of keeping essential items like a passport, wallet, and phone in a convenient pocket or bum bag is emphasized for emergencies. Traveling over multiple time zones can wreak havoc on your sleep schedule, for which the Time Shifter app is recommended—though its effectiveness falters with flight delays.Physical well-being is addressed with advice on pre-flight massages and in-flight stretches, especially drawing the alphabet with your feet to maintain circulation. Staying hydrated is crucial, though it means more bathroom trips, leading to the preference of aisle seats for easy access.Food on flights can be hit or miss, so bringing favorite snacks or meals, like non-perishable curry puffs, can provide comfort. To pass long hours in the sky, it's suggested to divide the flight into time segments filled with movies, reading, decluttering digital devices, or engaging in personal projects and daydreaming. A variety of entertainment options, like podcasts, audiobooks, eBooks, or traditional books, can also help make the time fly by.
