Just returned from a quick trip a couple weeks ago and wanted to note that airlines (SW especially) in the terminals were announcing new policies implemented that day, restricting the number of items you are allowed to board with. They said you could not carry any third item while boarding, it needed to be consolidated into your carry-on or personal item. This included so many things, regardless of size, like slings, purses, pillows, etc. So just be aware that having a sling on in addition to your 2 other items will now get you stopped. This seemed to impact a lot of folks boarding.
yeah I heard this announcement as well and followed a guy on to the plane who had stuff dangling from his neck and every appendage, noone said anything.
They have been like that for months now. They announce it but it depends on gate agents if they enforce it.
as a Londoner watching "Having a Fanny is Great" say what!? 😅 great video, i love it when people take long-haul flying seriously, i actually prefer it. i have some tips of my own
1) i recently learnt that you should put compression socks on, on the morning of your flight! (what a game-changer it was)
2) Electrolytes! take some and put them in your water! (pocari sweat also do powder) they make such a difference and add flavour to plain water (never drink airport fountain water tho)
3) foot /leg sling! they're a little fiddly but help lift pressure off your thighs and the blood flow. ( i use it on and off during the flight) it goes on the tray table
4) but my number 1, bring your own snacks and food- it makes the flight much more enjoyable
5) i sometimes bring a reusable plastic bag and place it on the floor if i take my shoes off or want to put my bag down on it (previously i'd use the free newspapers)
Can you expound on why the compression socks helped so much? I've heard they're great, but no one has really explained what is different when you use them.
@@catetanenbaum2418 i also didn't bother for years, they once gave them free on long flights, but i purchased some for myself and also use during long bus/car rides
i found this on google
Compression socks: What are they and who needs them ...
Compression socks - or compression stockings - are specialized socks that apply gentle pressure to your legs and ankles. They can help improve blood flow from your legs to your heart. “Compression socks have also been shown to help decrease swelling and pain in the legs and ankles,”
Aww Chase this trip did wonders for you! After watching this video I feel you’re back! So good to see you smile ❤
Thank you! I'm doing a long haul flight from New Zealand to London in a few months and as someone who hates flying in general these should come in handy! Also I love the Nalgene water bottle, I've had mine for years and they're super durable.
This is great timing. Thank you, Sir!
Great vid!
Blublockers: The old school 80s brand can not be beaten!
Cupped air masks are absolutely the best. Make sure whatever you get does NOT have a metal adjustment piece that annoyingly digs into your head.
Only long haul head pillow is the Cabeu. It packs small enough in its own case. 6 hours or more...anything less, no pillow needed.
Window seat must have is my bevledge. It opens up my tray space ...or close it without bother. Slides right in with my tablet space.
Arctic Cool shirts. No wool, quick dry, no odor, multi-day use.
Coolibar clothes, lightweight, UV+, style
Wear recovery slides or foldable slippers on the long haul. Cover the soles with disposable shower caps when storing in your personal bag.
Ultralight Osprey bum bag.
Compression socks work!
GaN charger is so much smaller and works so well to minimize space real-estate and weight.
PAKT! Love it!
Samantha Brown Essential Carry-All bag is way cheaper, and the Mary Poppins of 18" personal bags.
Great video!! Good to see you looking fresh & rejuvenated..
Great idea for jet let, earthing is amazing
12:32 Sony Xm4 the best!!
I wear CEP compression socks (same ones I run marathons in) on every flight I take. Just put them on when you get dressed for the flight. Essential.
@chasereeves - Connect airpods and wireless headphones to airplane entertainment system. Game changer! > 1Mii Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter Receiver - get one with dual sided male 1/8" jack for replacement when cable fails.
I'll say that Unbound Merino is my favorite merino brand that I've tried so far. Great fit for me, look nice, hold up well, and "reasonably" priced.
Owala 24oz water bottle for sure. It’s the perfect bottle: has straw sipping, also chugging option, and most importantly it has a lid that covers the portion that your mouth touches. Great video, loved it!
That last line was so good
And just like that looks like Bono, ❤️ Love it Love it Love it ❤️
Wellness Formula, Magnesium, good sleep, hydration…this for every day life as well.
Great video. Thank you!!
I have two Owala water bottles!! A 24oz (I took this to Puerto Rico and Arizona), and a 32oz (I keep this on my nightstand and computer desk)! The build quality is great, you can sip or chug AND the liquids stay cold for a long time!!! The 24oz is great for travel as it fits in most standard cupholders. Cheers ✌🏽
Digging the new editing style
I've done 8 nonstop 16 hour economy flights in the last year and the main thing re jetlag/sleep I've found effective when flying around that duration for direct/nonstop: leaving at night and arriving evening at my destination when possible lets me adjust fine, no matter how little sleep on the plane I get, I just have to last a few hours then sleep it off. Only time I had to fly morning to morning for the usual route was 4 days of hell. I also feel way better the more water I drink, yeah it's annoying getting up all the time but movement is also good.
Once through security I fill a slimline insulated water bottle with a flip sip lid at a water station and transfer everything I'll need in-flight into a waterproof small pouch that fits in the seat pouch - meds/eye mask/earplugs and/or phones/wipes or sanitiser/travel toothbrush, paste/charger cords or powerpacks/tech/book/whatever - and use a tiny lockable carabiner on the zips, keep it on top of everything in my underseat bag until boarded then transfer it. Don't have to fumble around even under the seat with that. Get water every time it's offered, also usually mini bottles you can just grab from the galleys in econ.
this is great.
Every once in a while you hear something life changing. Today was one of those days for me. Definitely calling boxers “fudgies” from now on.
I recommend the in ear. Wired Bose QC20. Headphones ,they last 20h. Have ANC and can work without. And you can stack them easily
Love stuff from Unbound Merino! I’m hoping they come out with a travel hoodie for women soon. 🤞🤞🤞
Magnesium, Yes! Also travel points can get you business class seats with lay flat and hot towels and real blankets.
I like the new camera angle!
great vid as always G.O.A.T
I still use a Nalgene for a daily water bottle, but I use the Carter Move by Fellow for everything (water, tea, coffee) leak proof, nice customer service 10/10
as for a water bottle i recommend Nalgene, but perhaps not the wide mouth unless you want to experience a waterfall whilst moving on transport. also, i'd go for the tall version as the other one is too bulky in backpack pockets
@chasereeves my man, curious if you wear an N95 or similar mask when you're on the plane as part of your healthy body and immunity support
@chasereeves - that shirt looks super comfy and nice! What brand and what size are you wearing?
YETI canteen is S tier. Only downsize is they are heavier to carry/hold than say a plastic one, but metal > plastic on pretty much everything else so the trade off is worth it.
Been doing some long flights recently, my minimum list: some snacks, a comfy jacket, iPad mini, AirPods Pro and - to connect to the inflight entertainment the Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 (these are not as loud as I would want them to be and I prefer the comfort and sound of the AirPods Pro, but they have one amazing party trick: the case can be connected to any audio source (3.5 connector) and transmits the signal to the earbuds..., very easy to set-up - one lesson learned though: the usb-c to 3.5 audio cable is proprietary (I broke my first and no commercial replacement worked, B&W's customer service was so kind to send me a new one)), I have recently also added a tracker to my passport wallet and take a few cables (usb-a to c, c to c and c to lightning), carry all but the jacket in a sling that stays with me...
@chasereeves what color is that unbound hoodie in? Is it the charcoal or the navy, hard to tell in the video. Thanks!
I love the Vapur collapsable 1 liter water bottle
yep
it's the best! had mine for years!
Prepare for a long flight like you would prepare for a marathon. Eat well the few days before. Maybe carb load since that will help you retain water. The day of, be careful what you eat. You definitely don't want to be bloated or running to the bathroom.
Make sure you're active leading up to the flight, but don't over do it.
Try to fall asleep as the plane lifts off. That little push into the seat back can be enough to get me to pass out.
Are those evolution pants the classics or the slims?
Hi bro, can you make a comparison video between Big Idea Design PHX Pen &
Machine Era Maekup Stainless Steel Pen.
Great video! Could not agree more about spending time outside for sunset/sunrise when you get to a new time zone. Definitely helps reprogram your sleep schedule. Even at home, I feel so much better when the sun wakes me up. 🙏
Any recs on gummies?
I like One Farm... their oil and softgels. They have light THC gummies too: bag.gg/CBDDropper
@@chasereeves Thank you 🙂
Try camelbak water bottles. I have one for 5 years but now stolen and replace the same after research. The best!
Southwest won't let you take more than one personal item with your carryon now. Example, if you have a duffel or backpack that goes under the seat along with your carry on , they won't let you wear the little sling as it's an "additional item"
WR updated the diversion pant?!? Didn't realize this 🤘
BUSINESS PAPERS
Traveled the world with the Revomax 20oz water bottle. Great for hot/cold/carbonated (beer) drinks! By far the best water bottle I have ever used. Please review! Would love your thoughts!
How did those unbound boxers work out
Light, clean, simple ! Travel smarter !
Traveling to other countries with CBD is a bad idea. It is illegal in many counties.
noice!
I agree about neck pillows generally but have had a better experience with an actual (small) cushioned neck BRACE-very lightweight and more importantly its purpose is to keep your neck stable.
I've always thought about getting a neck brace for this.
It’s bono from U2! 🕶️
That’s what my dad says when I wear those glasses too
Do you get any issue with static electricity when you pair a merino shirt with a merino hoodie?
no static for me except for one time right after I got a joe merino shirt out of the dryer.
@@chasereeves One more question since you mentioned the dryer.... do you handwash or machine wash your merino?
Wool does not produce static because of its high internal moisture content. You're only going to get static if there is a high synthetic content in the garment.
@@jdlackey88 I hear that from everyone. And yet, despite using three different brands of 100%meriino shirts, I get static electricity. And if I wear a merino hoodie over a merino tee, wow.. serious static. Maybe it is me? LOL
Its time to review Matador Packing and Gear Cubes
CBD sloth mode w/ a longass podcast
when i heard about the CBD i wondered about flying internationally with this, perhaps its something best checked before taking on a flight overseas
This was the first thing I thought of. Don't want a Brittney Griner situation...
Please look at the Larq water bottles
too heavy, too little capacity, for me.
I tried the Sleeper Hold (the eye mask that pins your head against the headrest) and hated it. It sounds great in theory but it was awful for me. Sore neck, couldn't let the head go, hard to secure to the headrest, uncomfortable neck pillow - just not helpful at all.
good to know!
@@chasereeves I've tried the Sleeper Hold as well, and some flights have been better than others. Biggest problem for me is the pillow that accompanies the eye mask and is intended to stabilize your neck is a bit big. I've seen some posts that suggest combining the eye mask set up with a Cabeau or something like that. I'm going to give it a shot.
Beware the magnesium oxide, you will poop. Stick with citrate or glycinate. As for clothing, same for the ladies. I do carry on only and stick with black, navy and grey. A nice pair of black joggers can get you most places. If you need fancy, the simplest black dress you can find. I recommend the Gap, they always seem to have black dresses, often Target too. Wear sneakers on the plane, stuff your black ballet flats in the bag. Skip bringing all the potions and lotions, you will not fall apart a few days off your routine. Minimal makeup, no more than one mascara, one foundation, two lipsticks. Don't bother with jewelry, you'll just worry about it.
Unbound merino gets holes after one wash.
Owala Water Bottle for sure
Not just for trips. This is life advice.
FAWKINNNN BILLLIONS 😂😂😂😂
A whole lot of pseudoscience going on here.
Love stuff from Unbound Merino! I’m hoping they come out with a travel hoodie for women soon. 🤞🤞🤞
