Before you can get into total relaxation mode for your vacation, you’ve got to make the journey. That might mean heading to the airport and taking to the skies. That’s where things can get a bit “bumpy” both literally and figuratively. Here are some smart tips for making airplane travel go a lot smoother.

Wear Warm Socks and a Sweater

There is no regulating how hot or cold an airplane can get. That’s why you have to prepare for both extremes. Warms socks and a sweater can help when things get frigid in the friendly skies. If it heats up, then the sweater can come off and you’ll still be comfortable.

Ask For Upgrades

If you’re traveling alone or on a special trip like a honeymoon be sure to let the airline staff know. Both of those scenarios could yield an upgrade. Start by being very nice. No matter when you talk to those staff people, it’s a good chance that they’ve already been berated by irate customers at least a dozen times that day. They might just bump you to first class to spite those mean flyers!

Wear Glasses

If you normally wear contacts, then you might want to switch them out and wear your glasses for the duration of the flight. You’ll find that flying can dry out your skin and eyes during the flight. This also means packing hand lotion and eye drops.

Take the Red-Eye

The red-eye is the name given to the cross country flights that take off late in the evening and arrive early in the morning. These are also cheaper flights and the airports a less busy. They work best for those folks who can fall asleep on the plane. Time it right, and you could sleep through the entire flight. It also lets you get a full day of fun when you land.
