HOW TO SURVIVE A LONG FLIGHT // 17 Tips for Long Flights ♡

Let's be honest, long flights are THE WORST. It's hard to get comfortable and fall asleep or maybe every time you check your watch, only 5 minutes passes by; but don't worry!! In today's video I have got you covered!! :) I'm chatting all things for surviving a long flight to make sure that your next travel experience is the best possible!

It's been a while since I've done any sort of travel tips type of video, but since I just took a 14 and a half hour international flight, I thought now was a perfect time to share all my tips, tricks, and tidbits. :-)

Enjoy!! xo

All the love,

*I dont know why Im watching a bunch of flight videos, when I have absolutely no where to go.*

Hint for freshening up after a flight, wear a panty liner on the flight, remove at first potty visit, clean up with water wipes, and refresh with spray or whatever is your freshioning choice. This is when it’s not feasible to change panties just after a flight.

My personal tips to add:
1. Noise cancelling earphones are a life saver.
2. Bring your hotel slippers on the flight home (they're usually so thin they fit onto my carry on bags easily) so it's easy to slip on and off when you go the bathroom and you can leave them on the plane
3. Bring your toothbrush and skincare routine so you can do it after dinner and going through your usual routine helps your brain think it's time to sleep - helps with adjusting to the time zone!
4. They usually offer tea and coffee after dinner. I usually just opt for hot water so the caffeine doesn't keep me awake. If it's after breakfast I always get the coffee
5. In your thumbnail I think you're wearing a jumpsuit? I try to avoid playsuits or jumpsuits because it's too hard to take the whole thing off when I go to the bathroom 😭
6. My hair always gets greasy so I try to bring dry shampoo but if I forget it I use the facial tissues in the bathroom to "blot" my hair roots and it improves the oiliness a little

Living in Australia, most international flights are long flights. I always, ALWAYS go no makeup on a flight, and pack face wash/moisturiser so that even if I can't have a shower during a layover, I can feel fresher by washing my face. I also always pack a cream/gel deodorant and a toothbrush + travel sized toothpaste. Brushing your teeth automatically helps you feel less gross.

[euro_babe]

bring a travel pack of disinfecting wipes with you on the plane. i usually just hold it in my hand and before i sit in my seat i wipe down the whole seat, headrest, tray table, seat belt etc. that stuff never gets cleaned so it gives me piece of mind

[edenboycott]

Anyone else bing watching these videos to get pumped and excited for an upcoming trip i know i am, I’m also watching this to see some cool things to bring such as things and tips i will need so i don’t forget anything

[Secretcrushonglam]

My additional tips:
- use a sea water nasal spray regularly (zero meds, just to keep your nose fresh and hydrated)
- use a nasal douche after the flight
- drink plenty of water during the flight
- get up every hour and move a bit. Walk, do squats, stretch etc.

A good tip too in addition to clean underwear is a travel bidet, and fragrance free bar soap and wash cloth.
Also wet wipes are your best friend for wiping after going number 2. And to clean off your face too.

Excellent tips, Jessica. Having been on many a long flight from Melbourne Australia, I can vouch for your thoughts.
Also, get up and move around as much as possible, pre-download Netflix seasons to watch on iPad. Audiobooks. Crosswords etc. Watched a whole season of Travellers on our trip to U.K. last year.
A big tip would be to regard travelling as part of the holiday, enjoy ourselves and not wish the time away.
Well done friend.

I’m going on a 12 or so hour plane ride and this helped 👍🏻

[raiu]

I can never sleep on planes (or anywhere other than a quiet bed, for that matter) so I tried tip 11 before for a flight from the UK to Japan. By the time I got to my hotel, I had been awake for 36 hours and was having hallucinations in the lobby. 😂😂

[beckychen]

I’ve been obsessed with Travel videos lately, I go to China to see family every 3-4 years, this year I didn’t go but it’s like more than 14 hours on the plane but the whole travelling experience + layovers can take up to 30+ hours depending so thank you so much !!

[leenhamzeh]

Just on time!!!! I LIKED THE VIDEO!! I am travelling for a long time period in airplane in the coming few days! Thank you for the precious advices ❤

[livesofwinifredlane]

Good timing for this video. Also taking a long haul next week. A good reminder!!

[shamiquafileen]

So timely. I have a long haul flight in two weeks. Will definitely use your tips. Thanks hun ❤️

[tesslydon]

Was just looking for a video from you! So excited when I got the notification!

[lillys]

Your video is really well structured and you're very well spoken, I just had your video on in the background while I'm packing for my trip and all the information just sank into me.
You have a real talent, not just a pretty face like some other youtubers😜

[homosoup]

This is definitely helpful! I’m going on a 13 hour flight to Thailand in February!
