When it comes to a long travel day, getting comfortable can often be a mammoth task.
We asked our readers to share their favourite tips and tricks to stay comfy on a long haul flight, car ride or train journey, and the response was overwhelming. Here’s what they said.
Amy Cardino – Long-haul journeys (to me longer than 8hrs), you need to save up or upgrade your ticket if you have mileage benefits, into business class.
Ester Cibasek – My own blowup pillow and blanket (long enough to cover my head), noise reducing ear phones and keep my eyes closed so I dose in and out of sleep all the way.
Valerie Keily – A neck pillow is essential and an eye shade. Keep hydrated and remember to move around if possible.
Di Richardson – Memory neck pillow. Recovery sleeves on my calves. One departure drink then limit alcohol or coffee. Window seat and sleep when possible. Bliss.
Anita Thornton – Go business class.
Chrissie Martini – Break the journey by staying overnight in a hotel. Takes longer to get there but you practically eliminate jet lag and the worry of DVTs. On the way to Europe, two overnight stops helps me.
Lyn Goodman – Keep warm and wear loose fitting clothes.
June Debono – Stretch jeans and socks (as well as other clothes of course). Plus, eye shade and ear plugs.
Ingrid Plueckhahn – Take a good book, break up the journey with a fave movie, and just get in the zone and relax. It’s just a day!
