Going to Australia soon and need advice!

#1

This might not be for everyone, and for some people it SHOULDN'T.
But I like a nice little buzz on a flight.
Couple of drinks at the airport.

Now I'm a good drinker, so always super nice to the air stewards, keep to myself, watching what I've downloaded onto my tablet and will just watch with my headphones in, read a book, and nap.

So have fun, have a glass of wine.
Also there is no point in getting stressed. We are all trying to get to the same place. Just relax, but have a couple of bottles of water and a snack in case of delays and you are on the plane.

Plan ahead.

    Hi! I'm used to taking super long flights from Texas, USA all the way to Chennai, India. It's like a 16 hr + more flight every year so here are some tips:

    -Get to the airport early so you can just relax during the wait times
    -If you get restless while boarding, make sure you keep all your important documents in a small but accessible bag to reach easily

    I think it would help to answer if you mentioned what exactly you need advice for about

    i live in America and i have relatives in india. so yeah whenever my folks at home decide to meet them, we have to go on a pretty long flight.

    I usually watch whatever's on the flight entertainment. the only things that interest me is Into the spiderverse and those 5 same episodes of Brooklyn 99

    but too many screens and watching stuff over and over is not good for you so u gotta do other stuff too. I tried to gather up a list of stuff you could do.

    - sleep. this is good for you, and makes your flight seem a little shorter

    - if you are travelling with friends/family, then talk to them or play games with them.

    - draw/ write. even if you aren't that good at it.

    - get up and walk around the aisles. ofc don't hog them, but once in a while won't hurt

    - try to bring some activities, such as an activity book or board games, in your carry on bags

    thats all i could come up with for now. have a safe and happy travel :DDDDD

    I rarely use my phone, but on planes I open pixel art and spend time doing that, it takes some time out of the flight, also trying to listen to songs might help.

    Bring a tablet if you have one, and try to download games that don't require internet. I've built so much stuff in Minecraft on long flights. Taking a walk up and down the aisle helps a lot too (don't block the path for the flight attendants though), and if you're traveling with a small child, if you carry them as you walk up and down, you might get some perks (source: my dad did that with me when I was a baby and they gave baby me a ton of free snacks and stuff that my mom ate)
