4 Ways to Reduce Stress on your Next Flight
Air travel can be a source of great stress, whether you’re flying for leisure or for business, on your own or as a group. If you’re travelling during a peak holiday season, moreover, then you might find that the whole process is a lot more aggravating than it ideally should be.
So, what can we do to limit the stress? There are a few techniques worth bearing in mind.
Get an online boarding pass
Checking in online means that you have one less thing to worry about when you’re at the airport. When you’re waiting in line, keeping one eye on the kids and another on your luggage, it’s inevitable that your blood pressure will rise just a few millibars. Cut this source of stress out of your life with an online boarding pass.
Packing list
Taking a haphazard approach to packing can also be a major source of stress. You can avoid this with a little advanced planning. Make a list of all the things you need, and keep it somewhere safe. Then, when the time comes to pack, you can check everything off as you go. Ideally, you should pack a few days in advance – that way, if you encounter any missing items, you can replace them.
Since your luggage probably isn’t going to change too much from trip to trip, it pays to keep hold of your list, tweaking it slightly according to the length of your stay. You can find packing checklists online, which will serve handily as a basis for your list.
Going private
If your budget can stretch that far, and you’re travelling a sufficiently long distance, then it might pay to hire a private jet. This applies especially if you’ve got a group of friends or family taking the trip together. Private jets don’t have to be the exclusive preserve of the super-wealthy, and they’ll cut much of the hassle of flying at a stroke. As well as the comfort of the cabin and the speed of the flight (not to mention all of the airport processes proceeding much more quickly), you’ll also benefit from additional perks when you’re in the air, like refreshments and entertainment. You can check private jet prices online.
Wear comfortable clothes
Flying when you’re not appropriately dressed can be that little bit more uncomfortable than it needs to be. This usually happens when you’re flying from one climate to another. If you’re heading to the Mediterranean from the UK, for example, then you’ll want to be wearing fewer clothes when you land than when you took off. For this reason, it’s worth favouring an outfit that can be quickly rearranged while you’re in the air.
