Damn, I wish I had discovered this channel a few months ago... I'm on a 12+ hour flight to Asia this week but I don't have time to watch all the videos! 😅 I haven't done any far away travels since pre-pandemic so I _know_ I'm going to have a DOH! moment or 20 while I travel!
I carry sanitizing wipes and use them on the table and arm rests.
I don't mind long distance flights. I usually plan the following: have something to read, have something to do with my hands, have a snack, have a bottle of flavored water, and have something that keeps me warm.
I'm with you - I enjoy having 7 - 12 hours where I can just be with my thoughts! That's a great checklist. Love it! Thanks for sharing
Saline nose spray to combat the dehydration of your sinuses from the plane. Helps me not get sick. Essential to me now after always getting sinus infections after an airplane ride.
Definitely take entertainment! I was assigned a seat on a full plane to Europe that had no light or electronics (no movies, etc) - nothing, nada. It was a very long flight, just listening to podcasts. When I got home a bought a Kindle, which I love. Battery lasts a very, very long time in airplane mode. No blue light like your phone has (that can disturb sleep). You can have lots of books (you can even borrow from your local library). I also find an iPad is great if you have room to carry it. Load it with movies & shows you download before you go.
I always set my watch to the current time of my destination and "try" to sleep/be awake as if I'm already there. I find the timezone change is alot easier to deal with everytime I've done this.
That is actually a really good tip! Thank you for this
Can’t do that with Apple Watch…
That’s exactly what I do on every international flight! It works great!
@@helendavies2241 Once you board, go to settings and manually set the time zone on your iPhone to your destination. It’ll automatically sync to your Apple Watch.
I have recently purchased one of these locks for a trip I am planning with my sister in the future. We are in our 60’s so I do not feel the purchase was unnecessary (peace of mind) due to our age whether we need it or not. I appreciate your contribution to travel hacks & I do subscribe to you even though we are generations apart. You are informative & timeless! 😉
I find that bringing a packable jacket on the flight has been super helpful, i have a packable long winter jacket that somehow folds into a small cylindrical bag. Which makes an excellent pillow and is a hundred times better than a blanket if the plane is absolutely freezing. And in the event my destination happens to have chilly weather, I have a jacket just in case
What's the brand/model of your jacket?
@@bonniea8189 i think it comes up when you google andrew marc women's long packable jacket with hood. Mine is kind of a dark silvery color and lengthwise is up to my knees. Another option I've found to be quite useful is wearing a thick/chunky long duster when flying (one of those sweater-robe things). I got one at Zara this past winter that almost reaches my feet and if quite oversized and thick (and it was on sale for like $35). It's not as convenient as the packable jacket, but covers me from head to toe and is a lot more stylish. I sometimes bring both if I anticipate needing a pillow and a blanket
I leave Wednesday for a bucket-list trip/birthday present--to-self (I'll turn 60 in Cairo). I've always liked a window seat, although I can see your point about disturbing your neighbors. I'll watch the jet lag video even though I paid for an extra hotel night ahead of my pre-trip to Jordan to recover (a first for me). At 23 days, it will be my longest trip by far to date. I hope I don't regret it :) I guess one thing is positive. the travel company had originally booked me on different airlines, but changed a while back...I was going to be flying Doha to Dallas non-stop to return home. A 16-hour flight!!! Now my longest leg is "only" 9 1/2 hours.
I love the compression socks tip. I just had a long haul flight and for the first time in my life my feet/ankles were very swollen after flying. I wish I had worn some compression socks. It’s day two and although it’s not as bad as day one I still have some swelling.
This may sound weird......but the dry air in the cabin sets off my asthma....so I bring some wet paper towels/washcloth in a baggie....then hold it up to my face for a few minutes every hour and breathe through the wet cloth.....it helps prevent the asthma attack.
5 below used to sell wet rolled washcloths in their travel section, though I haven't v seen them since the pandemic.
Getting ready for a trip to Paris, thanks for the great videos they've really helped in my planning.
I have been traveling for the past 50 years and I really enjoyed your video; good info
THank you. One of the best, practical videos I have watched on this subject. I agree totally about the travel pillow!!!!! I would add eye drops to the list…very important.
I'm just thankful I'm able to travel.
I don't usually bring a neck pillow for flights less than 8hrs. However for my trip to Korea and to Thailand it was an absolute must. I have arthritis is my lower spine and sitting down for long periods of time can be very painful. I used the pillow the airline provided for my head, and my neck pillow to sit on. The shape of the neck pillow is the perfect shape to sit and relieve stress from the lower spine. It comes with a strap so attaching it to my carry-on bag was simple and hands free. I also have a small portable foot hammock that fits easily in my carry-on. It straps around the tray table and enables you to get your feet up and off the ground if your legs get restless. I also plan my entertainment to keep from getting bored. Movie, book, rest, eat/ book, eat, movie, rest.....
Not to mention, who knows if they sanitize those plane pillows in between uses.
Most probably some people have mentioned that before, but there are travel pillows that can be inflated. So they don't take a lot of space when not in use. There are even some with a washable cover, which I really like.
Dude, the video is pure gold to me. Thank you for the amazing video.
Thanks for the tips! Moving to the UK from the US for school for the next year :)
When I traveled with my husband, we always booked opposite aisle seats. We never wanted to take the chance of ending up in a middle seat. There's no reason you have to sit right beside your significant other on a plane. Good video. Lots of good tips.
My family booked window seats for long hauls. That way, we all had windows to lean on to sleep! Some flights IFE had games allowed us to play games together.
I'd rather sit in the middle seat than not to sit next to my boyfriend. 😅 When we sit next to each other I can sleep on his shoulder and he can rest his head on my travel neck pillow. Also we can share the arm rest easier than with a stranger. 😊
Have you every booked through SkyLux to get a cheaper Business class seat? They advertise 77% off sometimes.
we do exactly the same. You can both sit aisle seat and still sit next to each other with just the aisle in between the two.
Same!
Thank you for the advice! It is super helpful
A 10 hour international flights leaving a tropical climate & I walked onboard in shorts. I sat next to a flight attendant who told me I would freeze. Well a few hours before we landed I did a midflight strip & changed into my trackie dacks - I was warm again & fell asleep until had breakfast. I learned to add earplugs & an eye mask. Huge difference in my travel. I bought a few refillable squeeze water bottles to fill up after I clear security. Yes I learned to bring extra food as often the meals are dry.
I have yet to go on a long haul flight again (did Dulles to DeGaulle round trip in 2004) but these are all great tips for regular trips too.
We are getting ready for a trip to Italy. I am finding your channel to be a great resource. Really nice job!
I'm going to Italy too 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just found your channel. Excellent! Just returned from two weeks in Peru...Amazon River and Jungle... carry on only! It can be done.
I love traveling. This is a great video. I definitely agree on the hydration part. Airplanes can be so dry. I always take a water bottle with me. 😊
I have a 15 hour flight followed by a 5 hour flight with an hour and a half in between. I'm not dreading it but not exactly looking forward to it.
Thanks for the tips!
43 hours coming back from Cape Town. CPT to JNB and then JNB to Doha on Qatar Airlines and finally Doha to Miami on Qatar. Getting the front row in any section of economy is a must. Or an exit row. Only rows that allow you to stretch out. They cost more but if you are flying 14 hrs like I was on my last leg they are a God send. Premium Economy is a dream, think business class light, but it can get expensive.
Brilliant. Great tips and ideas!!
I have spine issues so I have a pillow that I know works for me and it smooshes pretty small (down alternative filling). It helps support more than just my neck on a flight. I bounce between aisle and window in my preferences. They both have pros and cons for me.
Great tips! Moving around is the hardest for me, and I have to do that or I'll swell up like a balloon! We have Sapphire Preferred right now and will likely switch to Sapphire Reserve soon.
We just flew Delta to Amsterdam a week ago and I was happy to discover old movies and tv shows besides the new movies.
Your videos are extremely helpful! Thank you!!
Noise cancelling headphones and listening to audio books on the Audible app is my favourite way to pass time
As an Australian, we face 24 hour trips to get to the UK and Europe and business class really is the only way to go (provided you can afford it). Otherwise, it's very common for Australians to break the journey with a stopover somewhere in Asia such as Singapore (if flying Qantas) or Hong Kong (with Cathay Pacific).
I don’t even want to know what that would cost. 😑
I’m also Australian and agree that we think nothing of jumping on a long haul flight as we so far away from almost everywhere. In 2018 I flew Qantas QF1 Sydney to London with a short transit in Singapore. It took 24 hours. Coming back on QF10 London to Perth non stop took 17 hours then QF10 travelled onto Melbourne and that’s another 3.5 hours. The cost of return business class was AU$7,000.
Yep , us Aussies are use to long travel ✈️.. Just look at our country , its huge , and we are in our cars for big trips. Plane travel become second nature due to long flights 🤙
I agree. If you can’t afford First or business class…..premium economy all the way.
@@mvicavanagh Oh about 4303 euros
AirFly. Pair with noise canceling headphones. Game changer!
I recommend the Turtl neck pillows !!!!
U need one thing. Sleeping pill. That’s all for economy class. For business class, you don’t need anything.
🤣🤣🤣
I still bring my sleeping pills on buisness lol
Depends how well you sleep on a plane? For me I need a sleeping tablet for any class of flight - on an overnighter I can be the only person of, maybe, 400 odd people who simply cannot drop off without some help. It is infuriating!
A 50mg THC gummy will do the trick.
Gonna be on a 9 hour red eye in a couple weeks. I’m either going with melatonin or booze 😂
I have a neck pillow that comes in a compact bag and has an internal air pump you use. Love it!
My wife Allie, had a puffer jacket that packed down into an internal pocket shaped like a travel neck pillow when not in use! I thought that was a pretty cool idea.
@@awaytogether can you put a link or just the name of that jacket, please.
I enjoyed watching the video!
I've got somewhat sensitive skin, so I use unscented or lightly scented baby wipes! I get a couple of small packs of them. One for on the plane and another as back up in case we use them all up at some point. Because during the trip I use them to clean my hands before eating or something when no bathroom is easily available. Or if you're out hiking or walking and get feeling kind of sweaty or gross... quick little clean up similar to what I do on the plane before we land.
I also don't mess with a refillable water bottle anymore. Afterall, any bottle with a lid can be refillable if you want it to be. So I just wait and buy a bottle of water somewhere and keep refilling that throughout. Then, if I get somewhere that won't allow it inside, I can just chunk it. Or if I just get tired of carrying it while we're out and about, chunk it. No worries about losing it either.
Airplane food... "... I always eat it because I'm a pig and I like free things." Lmfao! Same. Though I will bring some roasted nuts along for the ride sometimes. Semi healthy-ish and more filling than chips or pretzels or whatever.
I got some compression socks before our last trip at the end of 2023 and I will never do long flights again with out them! No stiffness or swelling!
I swear by noise cancelling earbuds instead of headphones. Also, the Trtl neck pillow! As someone who cannot get sleep in a sitting position (plane, train, or car), the Trtl is a lifesaver. It fits easily into most bags and it keeps my head up so I can actually get a lil bit of sleep. Also keeps your nose warm on those really chilly flights. Those plane pillows are useless for me. A neck pillow is the only way I can get any sort of sleep on a flight (in economy anyway).
Bravo Sierra body wipes are amazing , have used them twice on my flights from LA to Taiwan .
Thanks so much!
As far as neck pillows, rick Steves sells a blow up version that collapses Down to smaller than the palm of your hand. Great item!
A think I do to help with humidity/icky skin is to pack a small empty spray bottle that I can fill with watcher after security and just mist myself if my skin gets to feeling gross
I use an inflatable neck pillow that has a soft cloth, form fitted zippered "pillow case". I keep my eye mask inside the case. When deflated, the whole package shrinks to the size of a baseball. Amazon has several available. I have a dirct fight from Chicago to Delhi coming up.
For those who dread flying and seek a calming solution, I bring along travel-sized shampoo bottles filled with vodka. Simply purchase your favorite juice at the airport and discreetly mix your own cocktails. This saves you from the pricey and diluted cocktails at airport restaurants. It's a discreet way to enjoy your own drinks while traveling. Just remember to be subtle about it. Experience hassle-free airport travel with Express Parking UK.
I. Love planes when ever I go on a long haul I'm so exited
Yes….Sydney to Dallas Fortworth. 15hrs 25mins non stop. I’m already getting anxiety lol.
I wear something I can wear Day 1 at my destination because sometimes I arrive in the AM and can’t check in until 3-4pm. I leave my luggage at a Bounce or Stasher.
Thank you so much!
I find loose socks are good, coupled with canvas shoes. You mention compression socks at 2:31 which is another good suggestion. It happened to me for the first time in over 40 years of flying, whereby my ankles swelled up after a 13-hour flight. It took a few days for them to go down. The cause was tight-fitting socks that cut off the circulation.
haha great vid...vancouver to cape town coming up LOL
Nothing help! We have a terrible trip due to the snow storm New Year. It took us 36hours flying from Seattle USA to Bangkok Thailand instead of 15hours. So family of 4 sit separately,so everyone is on middle seat😅 ( Seattle-Vancouver Canada- Hong Kong - Philippine- Thailand) the trip that our family will remember. For us Benadryl is really working to make us sleep well on the airplane. Thank you for the tip ,I will try the compression socks next trip.
One problem with sitting on the aisle for long haul flights is when you’re trying to sleep, passengers, flight attendants walk back and forth (even when the lights are dimmed) so it’s a bit disruptive. I have a hard time sleeping, if I’m close to drifting off to sleep and someone walks by, it wakes me up. I prefer to avoid those seats on overnight flights and take a window seat.
Tks I’ll do that
Agreed with you
And your blanket will flow all over the place 😮😊😢
As a taller person I have to use a neck pillow on long flights. I use an inflatable one that is not a burden to travel with at all.
We're frequent US travelers from Texas, but we're making our first trip abroad in December to ski Zermatt, Switzerland and your channel has been very helpful as we begin our preparations.
5:57 - Like you, if they set anything in front of me while on the plane, I'm going to eat it. Does that also make me a pig?
Cheers from Dallas!
Thanks! I do most of these things.
No pillows in KLM long haul economy now……..
That's so lame..... OK maybe carrying a pillow with you is worth it in that instance. :)
But this is an instance where sites like Seat Guru come in clutch. Having that information beforehand is critical.
I always take an empty bottle on a caribiner to fill up. Some airports still don't have water fountains so you're having to pay extortionate prices for water or sweet talk the little shops into giving you a cup of water, it's usually hot 😅 but did the job on yesterday's flight.
Yes! I always wonder why more people don't do this. I clip my little nalgene to the seat pocket in front of me.
I take an extra pair of socks for the flight. I prefer to change into fuzzy socks so I can be comfortable during a long flight
Instead of a neck pillow, I take a tip from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy … bring a towel. Rolling it up and putting it behind your head is a great pillow. AND it’s super easy to pack. If you’re cold it can be used as a blanket.
In the top of my personal item bag I carry a gallon zip lock bag that contains disinfectant wipes, baby wipes, hand sanitizer, toothbrush/paste, mouthwash, lotion, chapstick, eye drops, cough drops. I have a ziplock quart bag for single size snacks, protein bars, jerky, nuts etc. Some long flights had exercise videos where the entire plane was doing over head stretches, knee raises, etc.
I'm over 70, and have neck pain sometimes use in a hotel or even at home. But the size is something. Decided to get a small backpacking pillow. Fits in the other water bottle sleeve and is really quite nice. I intend to use their pillow behind my lower back. I have heard this is helpful for lower back pain. You're a young guy.....Also, I'm wondering how i will like the whole sensory deprivation thing being neurodiverse. I'm guessing no. I tend to like the window seat as it gives you one side where you don't need to see someone. OTOH, that whole not being able to get up as easily....but I love the little space it gives you, though window open is not usually a thing on international flights--but the sky is relaxing.
I try not to check the time at all during the flight. It has definitely helped to think "this is my living area for the next while, and wake me up when the pilot announces getting ready for landing". Checking the time every five minutes will drive you crazy! Focus on getting comfortable and staying comfortable until landing... Also, the aisle seats are my favorite for getting in and out of my seat. However, if the aisles are too narrow on the plane, and there are larger people walking through, I always end up getting bumped a few times by the attendants, other passengers, and even the food cart. This could be annoying to say the least.
I travel often to South America or Europe. In fact, I leave Monday for Europe for 9 weeks. I can’t sleep well at all on planes, so the last couple trips to Europe I leave 5-6pm and just suck it up and stay awake for the trip. It has worked so far. I already do most of your tips, but not the business class unfortunately!
Also what advice do you suggest for your phone….type of SIM card or just use phone on WiFi?
noise canceling headphones is the best investment I have EVER MADE.... oh also foot hanger
I've flown IAD to NRT, SIN to SFO, SIN to EWR more than once. 1) dress warm 2) good entertainment. I fill my iPad with CZcams videos and movies.3) noise canceling headsets.
Hmm...I don't quite get the neck pillow recommendation. We have a couple of old *inflatable* neck pillows that are a great compromise between comfort and portability. Are they as comfortable as the memory foam pillows? No... However, they take a negligible amount of room when deflated.
I have often heard the advice to wear your bulky items onto the plane. However, once you get to your destination, you have to have somewhere to pack all the big stuff if you're traveling to more than one place. By the 4th day of our recent adventure, I had a pile of stuff I wish I didn't bring & limited space in my suitcase.
Lol I said it on another one year post. My vote is yes her neck pillows try to use the blankets and pillows they provided and they do not just work for me but instead of the ordinary neck pillows that are big and bulky, you can get inflatable ones that fold down when have no air in them to the side of a napkin or handkerchief in your pocket, and they come in various textures on the outside it’s similar to the floaty devices to go around the kids arms when swimming
Love the inflatable idea! Allie once had a packable puffer jacket that actually packed into the shape of a neck pillow. I can get behind that!
7 Hours is not a long haul flight! - Try two 14 hour flight with a five hour layover.
1. There are travel jeans available. They are lightweight, quick drying, stretchy, have security pockets, and are designed to be comfortable for hours of sitting etc. The advantage of travel jeans is that you don't stand out as a tourist and jeans can be dressed up enough for restaurants etc, and in places they are the only pair of long trousers you need to take with you.
2. Don't worry about track pants etc in cattle class as all the people in business class are wearing nothing but pyjamas!
3. Often with a good research and perhaps using lesser known airlines it is possible to purchase buisness class seats/beds at only slightly more cost than economy seats.
4. When you fly business you don't need to carry eye masks, earphones, ear plugs, slippers, comfortable loungewear etc as all these are supplied at no extra cost. You also save at the airport as you don't have to buy any food or coffee or a beer etc as these too are provided in your ticket price.
4. Carry-on only is the only way to go!
I agree with most but disagree on the neck pillow. As someone with musculoskeletal issues, the neck pillow is not only a lifesaver in terms of avoiding pain, it helps me get to sleep and I find I sleep twice as much with a neck pillow compared to without. If you’re worried about the bulk, get a memory foam one and compress it down into a packing cube before you fly
I really like my Bluetooth eye mask, if you're trying to sleep it's hard to with a big set of headphones.
Living in New Zealand just about every flight (except Australia) is long haul I recommend also being able to raise and lower your feet by being able to put your backpack under the seat in front and roll up your jersey or hoody as a neck pillow if you find the airline one is too small. I usually go for a window seat and stuff my bulky clothing against the window / wall as this gives me a little more sleeping space. Book flights that make you sleep ie leave at night time and try to arrive early morning. It doesn't matter which country you leave from going from here Auckland to Dubai 17hrs take the 8.30pm you then find your body will adjust while you sleep you arrive around 5am there time but it will feel like 9 or 10am to your body. Conversely flying from LA to Auckland 13-14hrs leave a little later say 10:30pm you again will arrive around 6am but will feel like its still around 8am
Thanks for this video :)
Im a frequent flyer, living in Germany and taking flights to Buenos Aires (14 hours from Frankfurt being lucky) and I bought a Bose headphones similar to the ones you shown on this video, they are really a good investment BUT in my opinion, when it comes to a long trip such as the one I mentioned, I find them a bit uncomfortable when you have a windows seat, as you cant properly lay your head on a side, they feel quite bulky. Some days ago I bought the apple airpods and I will give a try in the next month. Of course the noise cancelling is not as good a the big Bose, but I fin them comfortable when moving your head in different positions.
Last comment, I think you should consider the windows seats, as you can stuck there a pillow or a pile of jackets and have some better "sleeping"
Again, thanks for the video :)
Ps. I will bring both :P
And you said we did on our flight long-haul flight for14+ hours to New Zealand from Canada
When freshening up, please avoid scented lotions, perfumes, or colognes. Some of us have sensitivity to fragrances and, on a packed airplane, we have nowhere to move to.
Holy SHIT your channel exploded dude. Proud of you!!!
Thank you so much my brother! Hope I have provided some value along the way.
@@awaytogether Honestly, I knew from the first time I saw one of your travel videos that it was only a matter of time. Can't wait to check back in a year & see that you've passed 100K.
Thanks man. That means a lot.
Not even kidding... every long flight (6+ hours) I've ever been on, my airplane seat TV has been broken. You aren't kidding about planning your own entertainment.
I think that it would be good to mabye where pjs on the flight to be more comfortable
Great video,
Is the Osprey or peak backpack considered a personal item or a carry on?
Thanks
osprey carry on. peak personal item
Oh I love my neck pillow! But I agree, as a devotee of packing light, it takes up too much space. I have an inflatable one that I ALWAYS bring. It’s got a quick valve so I can inflate it in three breaths and deflate it in seconds. Then I roll it up and tuck it away. 🧳
Economy essentials one or 2 super duper painkillers when you simply can't take it anymore. Then you won't care what seat you're in. It's like hell yeah I can do this.
love your videos. can't wait to do some of your stuff one day. but big question please: can you tell me what other greater joys you have had compared to flying business class, getting pampered, and eating good food (can't say excellent because nothing compares to "fresh" food from a fine dining restaurant whether it is a top notch steakhouse, michelin star restaurant, or even just a top notch vegas buffet. Perhaps, a dog, fantastic sex, running a marathon, skydiving, surfing, motorcycle riding, concerts, kids/family etc? just wondering how all these other joyful things stack up against flying business class. thank you!
Gonna seem dumb but what Nike joggers are u wearing when talking about your outfit? Trying to find a good comfortable pair with zipper pocket/s. Thx
Any issue with pickpockets with a backpack in crowds when it’s always on your back?
If you cannot afford business every trip, never fly business. It makes 24 hours in economy too difficult in future.( upgraded once) now dread economy, but still do it as I want to travel
what carry on rollers are you using? the international measurement requirements are messing with our pending summer trip
I NEVER fly. I flew EWR to SIN in July of last year. 19 hours and 10 minutes. I had two fabulous meals and my own seat (the A350 900 has six solo seats). I had a wonderful flight. I am going back to Singapore in July via Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific. ❤❤
I had first class was very tired slept 8 hrs. Missed dinner slept great,,if don't get first. I ask for 3 seats together in back ,sleep long time flying is easy..
I always book my husband’s and my seats on the aisle across from each other.
Can u add Motrin to your toiletry bag ?
12 hours I wish we flew 25 hours with 1 hour change over in Dallas Brisbane t
AUSTRALIA TO New York now that a long flight
Hi, how about earplugs? What is the best ear plug brands? Thanks
As an Australian a 7 hour flight is sooooo speedy lol
Thanks for the video. Would you share the brand of the shirt you are wearing in this video?
The brand is called Kuhl!
Question for you (might be silly): I have Bluetooth wireless headphones that I can sync to my T phone and watch content. But if there is entertainment (hopefully! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Seattle to Europe) will my wireless Bluetooth headphones work, or do I need a second pair that “plugs in”? Thanks!
Hey not silly at all! Your bluetooth headphones will probably NOT connect to the plane entertainment system (unless they came with a cable so you can plug into things). BUT, there's a cool device that allows you to make any system bluetooth compatible so you can watch with your existing bluetooth headphones! My dad swears by this one! amzn.to/44O0JtI (affiliate link - no extra cost to you - also no pressure to buy!)
@@awaytogether thanks so much! This was very helpful!
Disposable toothbrush is the best! Has toothpaste, small and disposable
Taking 1 Xanax bar covers 5 hours of sleep so those are always good
Haha, "I am a pig and like free things" Me too!
