Plane Travel the Healthy Way
What To Wear & How To Prepare For Your Flight
When taking those 🛫 long haul flights, you certainly want to be as comfortable as possible.
I like to dress casually, but comfortably. If traveling to a hot tropical climate, I make sure I have a pair of shorts and light shirt in my carry on baggage, ready to put on either before landing, or in the 🧳 baggage claim area.
I always make sure I have a clean pair of socks on, so I can remove my shoes while in flight as well.

For a number of years now, we always carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer and/or wipes with us on all our travels. It’s so important to wash and sanitize your hands often and keep your hands away from your face and eyes, especially in public places and touching things well used by others.
On our long haul flights, my wife and I have made a point of drinking a lot more water during the flight then we have in the past. I do find it makes you feel better, keeps you well hydrated and makes you get up and move to go to the 🚻 washroom more often.
So consume lots of water, its a win win deal!
Tips For Avoiding Jet Lag
I have always found overnight red-eye flights to be the absolute worst for jet lag. It totally disrupts your regular 😴 sleep pattern and there is no easy cure.
I have found the best way for me to combat this is to; try to catch a nap on the plane and drink plenty of water to keep hydrated and refreshed. I then try to adapt to the ⏰ time zone I am in, as quickly as possible.
What works for me, may not work for you. If you have any better ideas, please share them with us, we would love to know!
