]]> Just because airlines don’t have a specific dress code doesn’t mean that all clothing is appropriate for flying. After all, long plane rides are grueling and arduous. Here are some clothing that you should avoid wearing at all costs on your next flight.

Open-toed Shoes

As you embark on your summer vacation, you may feel tempted to slip into some sandals or flip-flops, especially as the weather heats up. What you may not have thought about, however, is that the plane you’re set to board may not have received a deep clean in quite some time. Wear closed-toe shoes for your flight so that you avoid unnecessary grime.

Bulky Jewelry

When you show up to airport security, you’ll be required to take certain jackets and jewelry off before you go through. Rather than giving yourself extra unnecessary work, simply place your jewelry in your carry-on luggage. After all, there’s no point in dressing to the nines for a flight.

Fragrances

Because planes are closed spaces with limited air circulation, it’s best to avoid wearing fragrances on your flight. For this reason, it’s best to avoid wearing perfumes, colognes, and any other fragrances before taking flight. After all, not only can such scents become very pungent and overpowering in a closed space, but they are also problematic for fellow passengers who may have allergies.

]]> Flying economy isn’t the most pleasurable experience, especially on long-haul flights. You get limited space for your feet, few amenities, and not a lot of overall comfort. Luckily, there are a few cheap products you can get that will make the experience much better.

In a viral video posted on TikTok, travel content creator @nalae.co shared various items that make her economy seat flights much more comfortable. The first one is the airplane footrest hammock, which straps on the seat in front of you and allows your feet to be in a much more comfortable position while being adjustable for different heights.

Next, she uses a cover that is placed over the tray table and serves as a handy organizer. It comes with pockets where you can store all your essentials like food, water, electronic devices, and smaller items without worrying that they will fall on the floor or get lost.

Finally, the TikToker also carries a Bluetooth headphones transmitter so she can use her wireless headphones for in-flight entertainment, as well as a phone holder in case she wants to watch something on her smartphone. 

“Ok, economy class seats aren’t the most comfortable place to be in, but these products helped make the flight so much more bearable,” @nalae.co shares in the caption.

]]> In air travel, flying standby refers to a situation where you want to board a flight but don’t have a pre-purchased ticket. This can happen for a number of reasons, including that you can’t buy a ticket anymore, your flight has been canceled or delayed, you want a better seat, or you would like to depart with an earlier flight.

If you want to fly standby, you need to make a request to the airline operating the flight. The requests are approved on a “first come, first served” basis and only in cases with empty seats on the plane.

Flying standby is often considered a gamble. However, there are a lot of ways you can shift the odds in your favor.

Get Familiar with the Airline’s Flying Standby Policy

Every airline has its own policy for flying on standby. Get familiar with it beforehand to see whether you qualify and if there are any resulting fees.

Make the Request as Early as Possible

If you are considering flying standby, then you should make a request as soon as possible. This way, you’ll have a priority over other travelers with the same idea. Most airlines offer the possibility of making flying standby requests online.

Avoid Flying Standby on Holidays

Most flights are fully booked during the holidays, so chances that you will get a seat on the plane by flying standby are slim to none.

Travel with a Carry-On

The chances of you scoring a standby flight are much higher if you travel with a carry-on. You won’t be able to bring your checked luggage on board and will avoid having your luggage travel with a different plane if you have already checked it in.

Position Yourself at the Gate and Be Patient

You should position yourself at the gate of your flight so you don’t miss if your name is called. Also, be patient, because you will likely be the last person to board.

]]> While flying may be expensive, many passengers may not feel like they’re getting their money’s worth, especially given the cramped seats and lack of legroom. Finnish airline Finnair is changing all of that. Here are some of the special luxurious perks you’ll enjoy if you decide to fly with this Helsinki-based airline.

For American travellers, a stopover in Finland makes sense when flying to Eastern Europe or Asia. What’s more, no matter how long your stopover is, you’ll enjoy every minute. Business class passengers will receive access to the Platinum Wing Lounge, where you’ll be able to relax in the sauna and of course, comfortable lounge seating and an array of food for selection.

Once you board your flight, you’ll be able to comfortably sink into a well-padded seat which also extends into a flatbed when you’re feeling drowsy.

Aside from the heavenly seating, you’ll be thrilled by the range of amenities that Finnair will treat you to once you take to the skies. Its Merimekko-branded amenity kits provide a range of useful products to make your journey more comfortable, including a Marimekko eye mask, earplugs, bamboo toothbrush, and toothpaste, all packed into a stylish designer pouch. What’s more, socks and a shaving kit are available upon request.

]]> Waking up for an early morning flight often feels like a nightmare, but that’s pretty much their only downside. Morning flights can significantly improve the quality of your trip because they come with a long list of amazing benefits, starting with these five.

Seize The Day

Flying in the morning means you’ll reach your destination before noon and have the whole day to explore the city, instead of essentially paying for accommodation to just spend the night.

Lower Price Tag

Early mornings are usually not that popular with travelers and they tend to be cheaper than afternoon fares that leave during peak times.

No Delays

The earlier your plane leaves, the less likely it is your flight will be delayed. The airplane will already be at the airport once you arrive, and you won’t face the risk of being late due to a previous flight.

Smaller Crowds

Airports are pretty crowded all day long, but there are usually fewer people during early hours, so you’ll go through check-in and security checkpoints faster than usual.

Better Experience

Morning flights offer a better and smoother experience because there’s less turbulence, customer service is better and more efficient, and there are usually fewer passengers, making for a calmer flight.

]]> If you’re someone who prefers flying with only carry-on luggage, then you’ll be pleased to know that many airlines offer you the chance to bring a personal item on board along with your carry-on piece. Still, knowing what to pack is crucial to ensuring that you make the most of the space you have. Here are some products that you would best avoid packing in your personal piece.

Hardcover Books

Reading is a great way to pass the time, particularly on long-haul flights and while relaxing on the beach or at the pool. Still, books can be bulky, especially hardcovers. Instead of bringing books, consider loading your favorite titles into your Kindle or eReader so that you save space.

Bulky Neck Pillow

While you may think that it is important to bring a neck pillow on your flight to remain comfortable, this is a bulky item that will take up a lot of space while serving little other use. Rather find a foldable neck pillow that you can easily stow away in a side pocket if you definitely know that you want this kind of item.

Loose Cords And Cables

From laptops to smartphones, tablets, eBooks and other devices, you’ve probably built up quite the inventory of cables and cords over time. Unfortunately, loose cords and cables will not only take up space but can also get tangled and disorganized. Rather than leaving them loose, store all of your cords and cables in a dedicated electronics organizer so that you keep everything in check.

]]> Given how expensive flights are, going on a vacation as a college student on a limited budget can prove challenging. Fortunately, there are some special deals out there that could provide you with some hope to score a fairly cheap holiday. Here are some of the best airlines that give student discounts on flights.

United Airlines

If you sign up for their MileagePlus program, United Airlines will give you a 5% discount on economy and basic economy fares at certain points of the year. Simply log into the United Airlines website and select your flight of choice. Make sure to check the young traveler discount option to enjoy this benefit.

Singapore Airlines

By enrolling in an eligible college or university, you’ll become eligible to receive a discount of up to 10% off by booking a Lite, Value, or Standard seat as part of the Singapore Airlines student privileges program. What’s more, you’ll be eligible for business and first-class tickets as well.

Iberia

So long as you are under 30 years of age, you’ll be eligible to join the Iberia Joven program. If you happen to be planning a group trip, then you’re in luck—Iberia will offer you a discount of up to 15% for a group booking of four people or more.

]]> No matter whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, you’ll surely want to ensure that you feel good throughout your flight. A major part of this is ensuring that the food you eat doesn’t make you feel sick or bloated. Here’s your guide to eating right when you fly to ensure that you continue feeling good throughout your trip.

Before Your Flight

According to celebrity dietician Nmami Agarwal, eating light before your flight is best. Make sure to take in a moderate amount of protein and some slow-burning carbohydrates while making sure to avoid sugar wherever possible. Eat an orange, which is rich in Vitamin C, or a banana, which is rich in potassium, before your flight as these fruits will boost your immunity.

On the Plane

Remain well hydrated by drinking water regularly. Cucumber, lemon, green apples, and mint will also do well to flavor the water and add to your hydration. Bring some of your own healthy snacks on the plane ride as oftentimes, the snacks offered on the plane are high in sugar and preservatives.

Following the Flight

After disembarking the plane, you’ll no doubt feel exhausted. Drinking green tea will give you a much-needed energy boost while dark chocolates are effective at relaxing your muscles.

]]> It’s been said that ignorance is bliss, and in our opinion, nowhere is this truer than inside commercial airplanes. As much as we like to think that cabins are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between flights, the truth is, short turnaround times and limited staff mean that most planes are only deep-cleaned about once a month. To avoid coming in contact with any illness-causing bugs, it’s a good idea to sanitize any high-touch surfaces around your seat. Here are the ones that tend to be the dirtiest.

Tray Tables

Used as everything from a surface for meals to a makeshift pillow for naps, tray tables come in contact with a variety of items that make them hotbeds for harmful bacteria. In fact, one study showed that tray tables have as much as eight times more bacteria than other high-touch parts of the plane. While some airlines do sanitize them between flights, there’s no harm in giving your table a once-over with some disinfectant wipes upon boarding—just to be safe.

Seat Belt Buckles

Unlike tray tables, seat belt buckles are one area that every passenger will have to touch at least twice, and with limited time between flights, cleaning crews aren’t always able to thoroughly sanitize each individual buckle. Give yours a wipe with some disinfectant, then use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer to kill any germs you may have picked up while buckling. 

Arm & Headrests

It’s true that most of us aren’t grabbing our own arm and headrests throughout the flight, but that doesn’t mean they’re as clean as they could be. Many passengers will hold onto these parts for balance during boarding or use them as leverage when putting their bags in overhead bins. Wherever your seat is, it can’t hurt to disinfect them, though aisle seats do tend to receive the most traffic.

]]> As many frequent travelers would know, flying can prove to be an uncomfortable experience—especially on long-haul international flights. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to make your trip more pleasant. Here are some easy hacks to help make your flight more comfortable.

Do Your Bedtime Routine At The Start

On long-haul flights, chances are that you may decide to get some sleep. By doing your bedtime routine near the start of your flight, you’ll be ready at any time that you feel like catching some shut eye. Make sure to brush your teeth and wash your face once the seatbelt lights go off.

Choose Your Food And Drinks Wisely

Drinking plenty of water on your plane journey is important so that you remain hydrated. Still, drinking fizzy, carbonated drinks can cause discomfort, particularly given the high air pressure on the plane.

Bring Sleep Gear

While airlines often provide some free gifts, you may want to bring some things from home to help you sleep on the off-chance that they don’t. Consider bringing a sleep mask, blanket, and even earplugs if you want to block out the noise.

Rather find a foldable neck pillow that you can easily stow away in a side pocket if you definitely know that you want this kind of item.

Loose Cords And Cables

From laptops to smartphones, tablets, eBooks and other devices, you’ve probably built up quite the inventory of cables and cords over time. Unfortunately, loose cords and cables will not only take up space but can also get tangled and disorganized. Rather than leaving them loose, store all of your cords and cables in a dedicated electronics organizer so that you keep everything in check.

]]> No matter whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, you’ll surely want to ensure that you feel good throughout your flight. A major part of this is ensuring that the food you eat doesn’t make you feel sick or bloated. Here’s your guide to eating right when you fly to ensure that you continue feeling good throughout your trip.

Before Your Flight

According to celebrity dietician Nmami Agarwal, eating light before your flight is best. Make sure to take in a moderate amount of protein and some slow-burning carbohydrates while making sure to avoid sugar wherever possible. Eat an orange, which is rich in Vitamin C, or a banana, which is rich in potassium, before your flight as these fruits will boost your immunity.

On the Plane

Remain well hydrated by drinking water regularly. Cucumber, lemon, green apples, and mint will also do well to flavor the water and add to your hydration. Bring some of your own healthy snacks on the plane ride as oftentimes, the snacks offered on the plane are high in sugar and preservatives.

Following the Flight

After disembarking the plane, you’ll no doubt feel exhausted. Drinking green tea will give you a much-needed energy boost while dark chocolates are effective at relaxing your muscles.

]]> It’s been said that ignorance is bliss, and in our opinion, nowhere is this truer than inside commercial airplanes. As much as we like to think that cabins are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between flights, the truth is, short turnaround times and limited staff mean that most planes are only deep-cleaned about once a month. To avoid coming in contact with any illness-causing bugs, it’s a good idea to sanitize any high-touch surfaces around your seat. Here are the ones that tend to be the dirtiest.

Tray Tables

Used as everything from a surface for meals to a makeshift pillow for naps, tray tables come in contact with a variety of items that make them hotbeds for harmful bacteria. In fact, one study showed that tray tables have as much as eight times more bacteria than other high-touch parts of the plane. While some airlines do sanitize them between flights, there’s no harm in giving your table a once-over with some disinfectant wipes upon boarding—just to be safe.

Seat Belt Buckles

Unlike tray tables, seat belt buckles are one area that every passenger will have to touch at least twice, and with limited time between flights, cleaning crews aren’t always able to thoroughly sanitize each individual buckle. Give yours a wipe with some disinfectant, then use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer to kill any germs you may have picked up while buckling. 

Arm & Headrests

It’s true that most of us aren’t grabbing our own arm and headrests throughout the flight, but that doesn’t mean they’re as clean as they could be. Many passengers will hold onto these parts for balance during boarding or use them as leverage when putting their bags in overhead bins. Wherever your seat is, it can’t hurt to disinfect them, though aisle seats do tend to receive the most traffic.

]]> As many frequent travelers would know, flying can prove to be an uncomfortable experience—especially on long-haul international flights. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to make your trip more pleasant. Here are some easy hacks to help make your flight more comfortable.

Do Your Bedtime Routine At The Start

On long-haul flights, chances are that you may decide to get some sleep. By doing your bedtime routine near the start of your flight, you’ll be ready at any time that you feel like catching some shut eye. Make sure to brush your teeth and wash your face once the seatbelt lights go off.

Choose Your Food And Drinks Wisely

Drinking plenty of water on your plane journey is important so that you remain hydrated. Still, drinking fizzy, carbonated drinks can cause discomfort, particularly given the high air pressure on the plane.

Bring Sleep Gear

While airlines often provide some free gifts, you may want to bring some things from home to help you sleep on the off-chance that they don’t. Consider bringing a sleep mask, blanket, and even earplugs if you want to block out the noise.
