2. Dress comfortably and smart (layering)<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe temperature inside the plane is always unpredictable. You might find yourself feeling cold or hot for no apparent reason. <\/span><\/span>The best solution is layering:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n- comfortable pants or sweatpants<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- a t-shirt or a thin long-sleeve top<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- a cardigan or a hoodie<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- compression socks (they help with blood circulation and prevent leg swelling)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- If it suits you, bring a pair of disposable slippers. You will feel much more comfortable.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Avoid tight clothes and shoes that pinch, as the body tends to swell at high altitudes over several hours.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.travelseefeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20241223_090504.jpg\")
3. Create your own 'flight kit<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nA small pouch or toiletry bag with the essentials will be a lifesaver (regardless of whether many airlines provide one). <\/span><\/span>We always carry with us:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n- sleep mask<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- earplugs or noise-canceling headphones<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- a neck pillow<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- lip balm (the air is very dry)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- moisturizing cream<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- toothbrush \/ mini toothpaste<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- baby wipes<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- hand sanitizer<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- eye drops<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- Melatonin supplements (really helpful if you can't sleep)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Little things that make a huge difference after a 10-hour flight<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.travelseefeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Gemini_Generated_Image_uoklkyuoklkyuokl.png\")
4. Hydrate properly <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe dry cabin air dehydrates the body much faster than you realize. <\/span><\/span>Try to drink water frequently and limit:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n- coffee<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- alcohol<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- carbonated beverages<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Pro tip: Take an empty bottle with you and fill it up after security.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.travelseefeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/drink.jpg\")
5. Eat smart before and during the flight<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nAirplane food isn't always the best and often causes bloating. <\/span><\/span>Before the flight, opt for something light and for the duration, bring along snacks such as:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n- nuts<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- cereal bars<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- dried fruits<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- crackers<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Avoid heavy or very salty foods. The body has difficulty digesting at high altitudes. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.travelseefeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260108_105901.jpg\")
6. Move as much as you can<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nOur bodies aren't made to stay still for 10 or more hours. <\/span><\/span>Every 2 hours:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n- Get up and walk down the aisle a bit<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- Do some light leg stretches<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- Rotate your ankles<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This helps with blood circulation and reduces swelling.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.travelseefeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20230620_200711.jpg\")
7. Fight the jet lag <\/b><\/span><\/span>Jet<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/b>lag<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nStart adjusting as soon as you board the plane.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n- Set your watch:<\/b><\/span><\/span> As soon as you board, set your watch to the destination time.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- Light and Darkness<\/b><\/span><\/span> If it's night at your destination, try to go to sleep immediately. If it's day, stay awake by watching movies, reading books, or take a short nap.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

8. Entertainment and engagement<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nTime passes much more quickly when you keep yourself busy. <\/span><\/span>If your flight has an entertainment system, you're covered. If not, download in advance:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n- TV series or movies on your phone\/tablet<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- podcasts<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- music playlist<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- a book or an e-book<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
