surviving the boring plane journey.

If you are like me, then you would of had your fair share of anxiousness the day before you board that fearful plane. I am not scared that an accident will occur, nor am i scared it will be delayed but the thing i am scared of most is the boredom of sitting in the same place for hours on end waiting to arrive at my destination.

In my experience of traveling by plane, the longest flight i have ever had was over 9 HOURS LONG!!! This was traveling to Houston Texas from Gatwick airport in the UK.

As you can probably imagine the flight there was an absolute nightmare. It is impossible for me to sleep on the plane. I kind-of wished they had an xbox 360 on the plane to save me from falling into boredom land.

On the way back though, the flight went great!

Because it is so hard for me to sleep on a plane, I took 1 ibuprofen tablet with water before i was boarding. This worked like magic! I cant remember how many but this certainly knocked a few hours off the clock. Please consult your doctor before you use this though.

I had also brought one of them neck pillows. These are very comfy and you can sleep without having to slide into some awkward positions.

Films Films Films!!!

If the plane you are flying with has a small tv in front of you, you can normally watch pre-recorded movies. By pre-recorded i mean that you can just pick a category of movie and the film will be in there for you to watch!

To maximize comfort i suggest that you rotate your hands and feet in circular patterns. This will help you maintain a good blood flow.

Bring some chewing gum. This will help in changes of altitude and air pressure. When you are done just spit it in a tissue because i am sure you will drop it underneath your seat *Cough*

Also bring some moist tissue, As you can then rub it across your forehead if you are feeling hot!

Thank-you for reading. I am blessed to write to such an audience.
