Are you flying for the first time? If so, you may not know that it can get chilly during the flight! Airplanes often have air conditioning running onboard, so it's important to prepare accordingly. Our advice? Make sure to pack an extra sweater in your carry-on before boarding. For example, you can get one of our airline-branded sweaters from our Shop&More store!

You dislike wasting time, and ensuring good sleep quality is important to you? Is flying an opportunity for you to finally get some good rest? Don't forget to bring your favorite travel pillow onboard the plane! It will be very useful, especially during long-haul flights.

When you're on a plane, never quite sure what to do with yourself? Want to make productive use of your flight time? Reach for a traditional solution and… read a book! Bring along your favorite title and enjoy reading during your journey.

Do you enjoy listening to music, finding its sound relaxing? Want to spice up your journey a bit? Bring a pair of headphones on the plane and relax by listening to your favorite tunes! A tip from us — remember to turn off or remove your headphones during the safety instructions' presentation.

Due to changes in pressure during takeoff and landing, you may experience slight ear discomfort. Don't worry — it's completely normal and temporary during the flight. If we can offer some advice, we recommend bringing chewing gum or mint candies on board, which can help minimize this effect!

Regardless of whether you're facing a short or long flight, there are things you should always have with you! Make sure to equip your mini toiletry bag with wet wipes, hand sanitizer, and a toothbrush. Having such a kit allows you to freshen up before the end of your journey!

Moreover, remember that you can only bring liquids up to 100 ml on board the plane.

Did you know that the humidity level in an airplane is similar to that in the Sahara Desert? Make sure to stay properly hydrated during the flight. Why is this so important? Drinking water frequently helps reduce fatigue, which will be especially useful during a long journey. However, remember to bring an empty bottle with you that you can fill up at the taps only after passing through airport security.
