tips

we use to make our budget

flight

s more enjoyable. We're going to break this video down into sections right here, so let's get started. Ok, first tip, wear loose clothing and bring lots of layers, so if you're a girl, I recommend just wearing a tank top or something underneath with a built-in bra. so comfortable who wants earrings and all that. These are the tank tops I usually wear when I'm filming, but I always travel in these because they have a built-in bra, so these are from vuori, which is awesome. so you know any other layer would be perfect and then I recommend any of your outer layers to have something with a zipper, a zipper is really good because then you can control the temperature, let's say you're like trying to sleep and you're like, oh, it's a little bit of heat and then you just unzip it and say, oh, it's a little cold, now you just zip it back up.

The temperatures in the cabins are very hot or very cold, so it is very pleasant. Bring layers and make sure they are not too tight. The next tip, if you don't have smelly feet, is to wear slippers or some type of slip-on shoes. If you have smelly feet, keep your shoes on, but when you are on them. a

long

flight

and you can just wear slippers, it's very nice, so slippers, if you don't have smelly feet, it's okay, the next tip is to wear compression stockings. I literally talk about this a lot in my other travel videos and if I've worn compression stockings on a flight or a

long

train or bus ride, you know what I mean, they just make everything so much more comfortable and they also help to regulate your temperature, so if you're cold or you need to block that smelly foot odor, you know, you can wear the compression sock and the slipper at the same time and then voila, these compression socks are amazing because they contain 20 to 30 millimeters of mercury, which is a unit of pressure, and They are really good for casual wear.

I use them every day at work as a physical therapist and they don't make me itch, which is really good. Also, the next tip is to bring your own water bottle, you must bring it empty. at the airport once you get to the airport you can fill it up but it's nice to have some water so you can hydrate yourself and it also helps you poop when you're on the plane people walk with the stroller but sometimes they just they give you that little thing of water and then you're still really thirsty, so having your own water bottle will definitely make you feel more comfortable.

Next, make sure you eat what you normally eat before traveling because you know your digestive system. The best thing is that if you have to eat something in particular before traveling because you know it will make you defecate better, when you do you will feel much more comfortable, so eat what you normally eat. The next tip is to take vitamins and probiotics if you normally do. So some of those flights are about 21 hours long and then if you skip your probiotics during that time, usually your digestive system is out of whack, so bring your vitamins and your probiotics, if you normally take them well, the next tip is.

To limit your salt intake, many of the snacks you see or meals you may have before traveling at the airport are high in sodium, so if possible, try not to eat overly salty foods when it's too salty. , you will become more dehydrated or some people may have more headaches if it is not what they normally eat. Well, I love airplane food and I love the snacks that come with it, but you should bring your own. snacks and the ones you like so you don't get hungry because sometimes when they take a long time to bring the snacks you say: I'm really hungry so bringing some snacks that you really enjoy will be key, these are macro bars, we love them because they are delicious, so yeah, a licorice test mix or whatever.

I usually have to buy Chester's fries or hot Cheetos because it makes me feel better, so I love traveling and eating. a little bit of junk food so make sure to bring us some of your favorite snacks whenever we are flying sometimes our bellies can gurgle a little so we love to bring some ginger juice with us so I love those Chimes ginger chews, but we have this. one of 99 Ranch delicious also when people come with the cart we tend to drink ginger ale just because it is very pleasant for the stomach sometimes that carbonation makes you feel much better foreigner the next tip eat when they bring you food now the people who are feeding, the really nice people, they are trying to adapt to the time zone you are traveling to, so every time you see food and they are feeding you, try to eat it and it will help you with jet lag if you are going to travel quite far try to travel at night so you can shower you can brush your teeth wear your pajamas like it's your nice comfy pajamas so you can sleep well at night so usually when we do this it really helps us with jet lag if you're trying to get a good night's sleep try limit your blue light and be on your phone or watching TV in front of you, instead bring a book and read it, and it will make you sleepy If you are someone who has a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep, then when you book your flight, if you have the option, try to avoid the back of the plane or the middle of the plane or wherever you think there will be a bathroom. at that moment the door will close and open, people will walk past you, so if you are a sensitive sleeper try to sleep where you think there will be no bathroom if we are talking about a seat. stretching strategy and you are someone who likes to stretch your legs or walk down the aisle go to the bathroom whenever you want or you don't want to have your sleep interrupted then try to get a seat in the aisle section in the center section of the plane, so I drew a little graphic here, this is your friendly public service announcement.

Also bring your own pen in case you have to do paperwork on the plane. Okay, let's take a look here. It usually has this. the window seat this is the window seat this is for those long international flights so you have three here three here don't go for this aisle seat go for this one because if this guy here or this girl here wants to go to the bathroom, they can't go your way and maybe go the other way, so my husband and I usually take these two seats here and then we just zone out there, you become super awesome, let's say you're exhausted and just want to sleep until the end. everything and anything, usually when people come they are very nice people, they come with the food, if your tray is not down they hit you and make you eat your food, so what I usually do if I just want to. to get some sleep, I'll just leave my tray before I fall asleep, then they'll just put the food on my tray and not interrupt me, since we're talking about not being interrupted when you're trying to sleep, although I'm told to wear loose layers, make sure to put your seat belt on over your clothes because right now when people get off, they are very nice people when the flight attendants get off and are trying to check their seat belts.

If you're already sleeping, they'll touch you to make sure you're still wearing it, so if you put your seatbelt over your clothes they won't wake you up. If you know anything about circadian rhythms, then you'll know it's easier. sleeps when it's dark so if you don't have a good opaque eye mascara I recommend getting this one if you have eyelashes or don't like things touching your eyes these eye sockets are really great because they're nice and deep, so you put them on right here, it's super super soft, you just put velcro on it and it won't hit your neck pillow.

Also, the cups are removable so you can adjust them if you have a different face shape than me, okay, the following is very important if you are trying to get a good night's sleep and it's a lot of noise and you want to listen to some music or just have something about noise cancellation, it's very important to have headphones that actually fit your neck pillow, so we have these types that, for me, don't. It doesn't work very well, so instead I just bring my Airpods Pro and put them here so that when I have my neck pillow it's nice and comfortable.

I like to use this turtle one because I feel like it's awesome and supportive on a plane and your phone battery is about to die, it really sucks because right when you land you're probably going to need your Wi-Fi or your cell service or something just to keep you going connected if you go to another country if you are running without battery that sucks so make sure you bring the right cables, usually when you are at the airport you can carry the cube which will go much faster. Also, for safety reasons, you shouldn't use the USB part in those seats right there at the airport, so make sure you have a cable and we also really love the anchor.

I've had this anchor external battery pack for a long time, but yes, this is for the phone or like any other electronic device and then For us recently I've been making a lot more YouTube videos, so I've been on my computer, on We actually have computer batteries so these are external batteries just for the computer, they are USBC and they are super fast, they will actually last. Depending on the power of your laptop, it can last anywhere from a couple of hours to quite a few hours, so yes, these are amazing. I bought this one in Japan and I bought this one on Amazon.

Incredible. Incredible. Many of you probably already do this, but just a good reminder that you can download movies or you can download shows from Netflix or whatever streaming service you have. You can usually also download some of those YouTube videos that you have in your Watch Later playlist, so that's one way to keep yourself going. super entertaining i decided my prop looks so good so i'm just drinking my ginger ale even though i don't have an upset stomach oh if you haven't subscribed i would love for you to enjoy the family so while i'm drinking this ginger ale you should subscribe by complete.

I don't know about you, but my mood kind of sucks if I feel bad and gross, so one way to really improve your mood is to make sure you stay clean now if your airport you're traveling to doesn't have a walk-in shower like some one of those in Asia, so what I recommend is getting body wipes that look like this. These are biodegradable body wipes and they are super cool. We like to receive them. single serve packets because they don't dry, they have the larger ones, but those come with 14 wipes or 28 wipes. I only need to wear a pair when I travel, all the things I mentioned, I'll be sure. to link below in case you want to try these babies now this may seem like common sense but it's surprising how many people don't do this but make sure you pack a change of clothes in your carry on and another pair of underwear only To stay cool there is something about wearing clean clothes that makes you feel great, especially after you have done body weight Now, if you are a woman and you want to stay Super Fresh, usually what you can do is wear panties. liner and stuff, oh I know that's a word we don't really like wearing panties and wet disgust, but use a panty liner anyway and you'll be able to stay fresher longer.

Well, one thing that's really important is to make sure you stay really cool. organized when you're traveling, it's very annoying to go upstairs to get your carry-on and you're trying to move around and trying to get all this stuff, instead just pack very, very strategically in your personal item that's under the seat simple, so I usually use the Bayes mini Weekender bag. I have another video linked here about why this bag is so amazing, but yeah, I use this bag and then I also use this one and I put it around my waist, but usually when I go.

On the plane, I'll throw this Lululemon bag inside my base bag and then we'll be ready to go, but yeah, stay as organized as possible, the more organized you are, the less wear and tear on your hair, the less sweat you'll have on your nose, and ultimately Overall, you feel much better. I'll also link below to my free Google Sheets download I made on how to stay more organized while traveling. It comes as a travel research and budget thing, so I'll do it. Link that below and it's completely free. I work in healthcare, so I'm a big advocate of staying clean and making sure your hands stay clean before you touch your face and put them in your mouth, and you know there are a lot of people who choose to touch their nose and touch everything. else or they are going to poop they don't wash their hands they touch everything so make sure you clean your seat your tray anything you touch the seat belt the buttons clean everything you can use Clorox clean the Wet Ones whatever andthen just clean them and then you can stay healthy longer.

Hopefully, also make sure to bring some hand sanitizer in case you're going to touch your face or go to If you're eating with your hands, the last thing you want to do is get sick with maybe some kind of explosive diarrhea and then your trip won't be as fun, speaking of poop, a very good strategy you can take is after you. You're done eating, go to the bathroom right away because most of everyone else's digestive system, the 200 people on the plane probably have the same digestive system as you, give or take, maybe 10 to 15 minutes, so yeah You go to the bathroom first right after you finish eating, that's probably when everyone else has to go to the bathroom.

You already went, since we're talking about potty time anyway. I just want to tell you that when nature calls you, you should go normally, your body gives you that natural warning like you have to poop, if you keep ignoring that natural warning, things just go away. back off, this is how it feels, this is how you get constipated during the trip, so when nature calls you just have to go well, the next tip to survive a long flight in

economy

class is to get up and stretch, stretch with frequency. I am physiotherapist. I'm going to link below a video about some of my favorite stretches that I personally do on a plane and I actually teach you how to do them, so I'll link that below.

Okay, if you're someone who likes to travel, you probably will. I like my travel playlist which I will link here.
