Comfort Travel Accessories

As times have changed from the days when the act of traveling was considered glamorous travelers have been forced to deal with less leg room, smaller seats, over-crowded flights and security check hassles. We've compiled tips and travel accessories to make the going efficient, comfortable, and more enjoyable.

 

Pre-flight Comfort Travel Tips:

  • Reserve a comfortable seat. Choose a window if you would like to sleep and choose the isle if you prefer a bit more leg room.

  • Be prepared with something to entertain you. Magazines, books, and laptops are all great options. Educating yourself on your destination is half the fun. Look ahead and make sure you know the best way to get from the airport to your hotel.

  • Bring essentials that you might need during the flight - snacks, water and a toothbrush.

  • When booking avoid the last row of seats, they usually do not recline.

  • Reading up on your destination is half the fun. Your guidebook, web sites and online travel forums will get you excited and confident. Make sure you know the best way to get from your destination airport to your hotel on the first day.

  • Avoid the last minute rush. Give yourself time so you arrive at the airport relaxed and comfortable rather than racing to the check-in before it closes.

 

In-flight Comfort Travel Tips:

  • Minimize your carry-on luggage. The less you have to lug and maneuver around, the more comfortable you will be.

  • For long flight it's crucial to move around to help with circulation. Feel free to take a stroll and stretch your limbs.

  • Drink lots of water. The cabin gets very dry and proper hydration is key.

  • Bring your ear plugs. These can come in very handy if you happen to get put next to a less than quiet neighbor.

  • Bring a great portable lumbar travel pillow to help relieve those lower back pains.

  • Get some rest. It's not always easy to fall asleep on an airplane, but you should try. Your body will thank you later. Meditating and deep breathing are great techniques to try if sleeping is not an option for you.
