The Travel Industry is worth
Billions of Dollars and is growing day by day. More people are now travelling
and exploring the world. This has increased the demand for more Airplanes and
Airports. Many small cities are now connected with International Airports. As
new places emerged, manufacturers launched big and long range jets to service
them. Today, you can fly Non-Stop from Asia to America. All major Airlines of
the world are now operating hundreds of Long-Haul Flights. A Long-Haul Flight
is a Flight which has duration of more than 10 hours. Often travelers find it
difficult to cope and survive them. In
this Blog, we will discuss a few suggestions which will help you in enjoying
Long-Haul Flights. Let’s get started…..
1. Choose Airline: Most of the
travellers might choose a Low Cost Carrier, but when it comes to Long-Haul
Flights, choose carefully. Low cost carriers usually lack comfort and
entertainment system. You need comfortable seats and an in-flight entertainment
system to keep you occupied. Airlines like Emirates, Singapore Airlines,
Etihad, British Airways, Qantas and Air New Zealand are considered best for
Long-Haul routes.
2 Flight Specifications: While
booking your tickets, research about seat plan, configuration, legroom,etc of
the Airplane. The type of aircraft can make a huge difference. For example: An
A380 is very comfortable than any other aircraft flying in the sky. Its wide
seats make it comfortable than a Boeing 747 or Boeing 777.
3. Entertainment System: Whichever
Airline you choose, make sure it has in-flight entertainment system. You will be bored if it is not there.
4. Carry your Entertainment Content:
Sometimes you either not like the entertainment system, or want to watch some
of your own content. Carry all your Entertainment Media in your Phone/Tablet.
5. Portable Charger: Carry a Power
Bank with you. This will help power your Phone/Tablet Batteries when drained. Important
specially for Gamers and those who enjoy their own content.
6. Book: Carry a nice Book to read.
You can carry an e-book as well, but a normal book would be recommended.
7. Aisle Seat: Book an aisle seat
for yourself. The view from a window
seat is good but not better than disturbing your next seat passenger for going
to wash room. A Long-Haul Flight invites many visits to the wash room. So be
comfortable and take an aisle seat.
8. Stay Hydrated: By this we don’t
mean drink lots of Juices and Alcohol on board. Try and have a lot of water.
The atmosphere in the aircraft is dry, hence you need to be hydrated.
9. Sleep: Sleeping is very
important on Long-Haul Flights. It not only keeps you fresh on arrival, but
also passes some time. If required, ask for extra cushions and blanket to make
yourself more comfortable. Another great Tip may be to book an overnight
flight. It makes you sleepy automatically.
10. Use Wi-Fi: Some Airlines today
are offering Free In-Flight Wi-Fi to its passengers. Most of these airlines are
offering it on their A380s. Emirates has the largest fleet of A380s with Wi-Fi
on all of them. An internet connection will help in connecting with friends and
family, knowing what’s going on and scanning through different content and
videos.
These are some tips on how you
can survive and Pass time in a Long-Haul Flight. Do Share with all your
friends. If you have some more suggestions to add, please comment down below.
