short flights are bad enough, but having to deal with long-haul flights feels like punishment.
Every time I have to stay on a plane for hours and hours, I ask the gods that I made to make them hit me. Has it something to do with the exorbitant amount of money I spend on makeup? I tend to leave the laundry in piles six feet on the floor? Probably. Anyway, I felt anger steal the universe a few times since I caught the travel bug a few years ago. You probably also.
Fortunately, the Internet is here to counteract some of the suckage the world. (This could be the most ironic thing I ever said.) Here are a few tips that will make your next long-haul flight experience decidedly less terrible.
1. Go for a jog before the flight.

Although most of the time I never had, never suggests jogging before work flight is a great way to stave off the jitters. Just think about how long you'll be sitting. You'll want to sprint when you get off that plane.
2. Step away fancy clothes.

This is an example of making me need to take a dose of my own medicine. As much as I love being Overdressed for every occasion (and I can not be the only one), comfort is key when you're running to the doors and you cram into tiny seats. Ladies and opt for pieces like leggings, flats and slouchy t-shirts. Gents, ditch the suit and tie and trying comfortable jeans, a shirt and a hoodie.
3. In this vein, become one with overlay.

On your flight, say, Los Angeles to Sydney, you will undoubtedly experience of each season. A second you sweat off your face, and the next day you will start to freeze solid. Piecewise overlay, you can take easily, keeping you ahead of the flight elements. Moreover, it will save space in your luggage!
4. Minimize hand luggage.

There are few things more terrible than struggling with heavy luggage full of things that you do t need after undergoing marathon flight. Pare down on what you wear, then do it again two more times. Get to one small bag and one personal slight hand luggage.
5. But do not forget the basics, even if they are clumsy.

You know what the most boring thing to transporting an airport? A neck pillow. You know what you really be mad not to have on your flight? A neck pillow. Although packing light is essential, especially as regards the things that you personally have to lug around, do not skimp on things like pillows, blankets, eye masks, helmets, and so on travel. Slay this creature comforts game, people!
6. Become BFFs with SeatGuru.com.

You'll probably take off and land on two different days, so treat your hand luggage like you wear to sleepovers in the third year. You should channel your inner Kim Kardashian and take a complete change outfit, but changing your socks and underwear and dishes, you will feel all shiny and new.
8. Your skin will go through the ringer, so guys and girls, pack moisturizing and leaves introduce masks in your flight routine.

airplane air wreaks havoc on your skin, so be sure to pack moisturizer , lip balm, and my favorite personal flight leaves masks. These things seem seriously alarming, but they are packed with serum that will bring your skin to life. They are also ideal to scare babies and come back to them for free migraine.
9. Bring forms of entertainment that will not kill your battery.

The books can be awkward, but bringing along something to keep you occupied without scrolling your phone is never a bad idea. In the drawing? Bring a sketchpad. If logging is your thing, write about your experiences of the old way.
10. Get your shop.

Sitting for hours is not healthy to take advantage of the fact that most terminals commercial hubs. It is for science.
11. Stop fighting for points.

least favorite thing for everyone to do at airports is to share the points, so be sneakiest your car and get some of USB support action by plugging into the back of one of your televisions in 00 terminal.
12. Put your work and relax.

Nothing says "I'm quite cold and ready to make" quite like working in a total frenzy until you enter the edge line, right? Wrong. of course, the terminals have Wi-Fi. and yes, you probably have a few tasks to be done, but for the sake of your mental health, VEG just before boarding a plane for what will ultimately feel like 35 years.
13. Buy enough food to cover your meal to avoid loading the sodium.

Aircraft meals are full of sodium, which is a nightmare when it comes to staying hydrated. Enjoy a healthy meal in the terminal before take-off and pick up something to eat during meals on the plane, like a sandwich, a side, and the largest bottle of water you can find. Just do not buy anything wrong, okay? Oh, and if you can, eat at the same time that everyone as a courtesy to other passengers who are also hungry.
14. Get to the end of the boarding line.

Patience is a virtue, friends. Everyone is always in a hurry to get on board, but wait until the end has its advantages. While everyone in front of you rushed to their seats, stay back and ask a flight attendant if there are updates available. Sometimes you can score a free upgrade to business (or even first) class if there are empty seats!
15. Avoid the front rows of seating sections at all costs.

Companies generally accommodate large groups (like families) on the ends of the seating blocks. Say no to sit near babies angry. We all hate long flights, but as adults, we are not allowed to shout about it. Go fly quietly hate elsewhere.
16. Sit by the wing if you can.

I do not know about you, but I experienced horrible episodes of turbulence that always give me nightmares. To reduce the fear factor, try to sit near the wing. Because the aircraft are designed to rock like seesaws in turbulent conditions, you will experience less motion in the medium. You know ... the physics and stuff.
17. While you are waiting to take off your watch and synchronize devices time zone of your destination.

fall into the rhythm of your destination by getting your brain used earlier. This way, you can adjust your sleep schedule on the plan accordingly and reduce disorientation landing.
18. Move and elevate your legs as often as possible.

DVT is less cute, so if you can not bust compression socks, try walk around every hour or so to keep your blood pumping. If you are lucky enough to be seated in business class and you have real legs, you can also relax and raise your legs to a similar effect.
19. Hungry? Order a special meal, as the vegetarian option.

If you skipped packing your own lunch and you feel like you 're going to pass out , request a special meal option to be served first.
20. Avoid carbohydrates if the flight leaves you feeling bloated.

Try not to load up on carbohydrates if you become a bloated, monstrous version of yourself on plans as I do. Things like pasta are great for keeping hunger pangs at bay, but they will also cause your body to retain water. This is particularly serious if you do not follow this advice and do not stay sufficiently hydrated, which leads me to my next point.
21. Drink water as it is your job.

Remember that comically large bottle of water you've taken in the terminal? Finish that and then ask the flight attendant (politely) to fill each time a food or beverage service rolls around. Staying hydrated might send you to the aircraft toilet more often as you like, but get through the long haul while you're running on fumes is not fun.
22. I'll just say once :. Be nice EDGE OF AGENTS

These people work hard (and, you know, fly around the world) to ensure that we are as safe and comfortable as possible. The least we can do is be friendly. It is simply life easier for everyone, and it might even be some added benefits in it for you in the end. After all, who does not want extra pillows?
23. Do not you lost, even if you want absolutely.

As tempting as it is to get drunk and stifle the unpleasant cries of frat bros also intoxicated on their first trip abroad, nothing will make you feel worse than pairing your jet lag with a healthy side of the hangover.
24. Need a pick-me-up? Choose wisely.
iStock
I'll slip into my suit and hypocritical tell you not to drink coffee on long flights. If available, opt for green tea instead. It will give you the zing you need without the accident and nervousness which, like a hangover, is not well with the time difference.
25. Trick your brain to sleep.

Sleeping on planes will never be easy, but you can trick your brain into sleep by performing your normal routine (or a version of it, anyway). If you can, change into a comfier shirt, wash your face, brush your teeth, and convince your mind that it's bedtime.
26. If it looks like they are up to it, have a nice chat with your neighbor.

I'll be the first to admit I'm not exactly a talkative person. That said, a great conversation can eat up some serious time on long-haul flights. While coming home from U.K. once I gabbed away with the woman next to me for four hours. Obviously, you have to feel the situation. If you have a basic knowledge of body language, you will know if the person next to you is mood to talk.
long-haul flights will never be fun, but you'll be a pro if you master these tips. Where the sky take you this summer?
