How to survive a long plane flight and not go crazy?

[bitheerani319]

Whether you're one of those people who enjoy flying or those who hate it and prefer to avoid it, there's a good chance you'll find yourself on a plane at some point in your life. The chances are even higher if you want to see the world and distant destinations, or if you work in a job that requires you to travel for business.

Longer plane trips are rarely pleasant unless you're in first class, which, given the constantly increasing prices, is becoming less and less popular, so many carriers are removing it from their planes.

Airplanes are cramped and crowded places that have little to do with cameroon whatsapp list lately, with less and less thought given to passenger comfort and more and more to how they can fit in a few more rows of seats and sell more tickets. Airplane food is usually of questionable quality and taste, airplanes are noisy, other passengers can be loud, and if you're unlucky enough to experience severe turbulence, you'll be forced to sit for most or all of the flight, which isn't fun.

I've had a few long flights lately, between 8 and 13 hours, and even more turbulence, so I know what it's like to sit in a seat for 10 hours straight, go through time zones and not be able to look out the window because it's either dark or so cloudy that you can't see anything.

That's why I'm bringing you some advice today, especially since the time of summer vacations and interesting trips is approaching that can take you all over the world but also tie you to a plane for many hours that, I'm sure, you don't want to waste.

Pay attention to ticket purchases
It's not a bad idea to buy tickets early enough when the plane isn't fully booked, but if you're only doing it for the seat selection option, I'll have to disappoint you - most carriers don't allow you to choose your seats until the last day. Why? Because they charge for seat selection, and then, 24 hours before the flight if you're quick enough, you can choose what's left.

There are often great seats left, so try to grab them early. A little tip – choose seats at the bottom of the plane, near the tail. It is true that it is a little noisier there than in the rest of the plane, but it is also where most of the seats on many planes are with two seats (which is a better option than 3 or 4 seats in a row) and there is less chance of being near small children whose parents prefer the beginning of the plane for a faster exit.

Redeem miles or upgrade
If you travel frequently with the same carrier, there's a good chance you've accumulated miles you didn't know about, which could be used to upgrade your seat or class. Also, many carriers offer the option of paying for business class or economy premium at reasonable prices a few days before your flight.

If you decide it fits your budget and the trip lasts longer than 8 hours, you will be happy with a better seat, a better infotainment system, better food, and more legroom and stuff.
