Long trips it’s always mean to an end. The goal is to get to your destination. But sometimes you run out of ideas about what to do during your trip on the plane. Check this 8 long haul flight tips about things that you can order for free, and don’t get bored.
Sleep would be the first idea if you can, or if you can’t, take a pill and sleep. If you don’t like either way, like me, then you have to be creative for….12 hours or more.
Well, you have the movies, which will help you for the first hours. Then the airplane food that, besides keeping you out of hunger, it will help to pass the time on the plane.
After, there’s that moment where everyone goes to sleep. Everyone except, you. There are people who can sleep anywhere. But not me, and maybe not you.
So, you have to arrange other things to keep you occupied, without having to look at the map on the seat back tv.
You try to sleep, see a movie or, just to stretch your legs, by heading to the bathroom. Nothing works.
But, what then? You still have six or more hours of flight, and nothing worked to get you to sleep.
In an article in Business Insider, Talia Avakian wrote, based on a Reddit thread, about eight free things you can ask any flight attendants so that you can make your trip more pleasant.
The 8 long haul flight tips:
- A can of soda
- Basic medication and bandages
- Hot Chocolate
- Free alcohol
- Grooming Kits
- Extra snacks
- A cockpit tour
- Sanitising Wipes
That’s an all new world opening in front of you, with more alternatives to spending your time on long flights.
But avoid this combination: Free Alcohol – A Tour to the Cockpit = Basic Medication and Bandages, and maybe a get a free card out of the plane 🙂
That might be a bad idea.
