With little leg room, fuller cabins, and uncomfortable seat pitches it can sometimes be hard on airplanes to travel in comfort. Flying can be a pain, but it doesn’t have to be— with the right accessories and preparation kit, it’s possible to actually enjoy flying. Trust me!
Sometimes it’s totally worth it to spend a little bit more in order to get a lot of added comfort. The right sleep mask, appropriately noise-reducing headphones, and a neck pillow (so that you’re not nodding off on your neighbor’s shoulder) can make all the difference.
You might have already read about my things to do on a plane during a long flight to cure boredom and now here are some of my favorite products that can help you too.
