I'm the weirdo who likes the middle seat 😆 I only have to ask one person to move if I have to use the bathroom, and only one person needs to ask me. Bathroom anxiety is real haha

[@cherylalexander970]

Love that! I’ll have to remember this if I’m ever stuck with the middle seat.

[@sirhoopalot1]

Then choose the aisle in the middle section.

From the perspective of an Australian I laugh at your assertion that five hours is long haul 😄 Its nine hours from the east coast of Australia to Singapore, about the same to Hawaii, and nearly 24 hours to London

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I'm trying to find the humor in your comment but have not found it yet. In any event thanks for the comment.

5 hours is a shortish flight to me 😂 we’re in Australia so to fly to Europe for instance it’s anywhere from 15 hrs to 24!

[@nourishedheiress]

Australia is in the middle of the ocean far away from anything 😅 of course it’s going to take you long

[@edflaherty1887]

For the aisle seat folks - if the plane is a 3 - 4 - 3 seat configuration choose the aisle seats in the middle row that has four seats. That way most likely only one person will have to climb over you to go to the bathroom. With the 3 seat row on the sides there will be 2 people that need to disturb you or twice as often . Window seats allow you to rest your head on the wall. As far as choosing a window seat for the view, the view looks the same with mostly clouds for about 90 % of the trip. At night, there is almost nothing to look at except for the short departure and landing phase of the trip.

[@oaktree1626]

Good idea about which aisle seat to select. This will help me on my Japan flight in a few months

[@AJStarhiker]

​@@oaktree1626I'm jealous. Japan has been on my bucket list for years.

[@denisesneeringer9109]

Timsshifter is a great app to use to help prepare for time changes. I used to never be able to sleep on long haul flights. It starts shifting your time around 3 days prior to your flight. I am now able to sleep on the flight and feel much less jet lag. It’s definitely worth trying

[@edflaherty1887]

I really like the noise canceling headphones ! Make sure they are called noise cancelling & not noise reducing. The noise reducing style only reduce the noise with the headphone cushions . The price will reflect the difference. I also tried noise canceling ear buds that were very expensive. They didn't work that well and were uncomfortable. Go for the full size noise canceling head phone with lots of padding. One can wear them with no audio coming through and have dead silence. I use them on the trains to block out the rude people who run their mouth the whole trip and have regards for people around them.

[@Business-ZEN]

Heading on my inaugural international trip after more than two decades, the prospect of a 13-hour flight had me feeling quite anxious. However, stumbling upon your video was a game-changer in calming my nerves and prepping me for the journey ahead. Your recommendations for travel essentials are spot-on, and I can't express enough how helpful your Amazon storefront is. It's made my preparation process a breeze! On a related note, I recently discovered the convenience of "Express Parking" for stress-free airport experiences. Thanks a ton for sharing your insights and making this trip feel so much more manageable! 🌍✈

[@rupertbare2023]

YVR to LHR in October. 9-10 hours. As a senior, having special assistance at airports is the key to my survival. Some seniors seem to think you have to be 'disabled' to request assistance. Not true. If you cannot handle standing in line-ups, climbing stairs, or walking long distances within/between terminals, then you should get help. It can make all the difference to your trip.

[@Oxford322]

Thanks for mentioning this! I am 61 and fully able BUT I travel alone ( headed to Heathrow from Atlanta ) I only have 1 hour to change in ATL - I was stressing , but I have requested the assistance to go thru airports ! Thank you ! ( I live in Birmingham- Atlanta airport baffles me ! Lol)

[@ceciliajoylee]

Lol I've been flying such cheapo airlines recently that they don't serve food (even for 8+ hours) unless you pay!! My favorite strat has been to remove the emergency booklet and any brochures from the seat back pocket immediately when getting on a plane and tucking them out of the way (usually between seat legs on the floor keeps them stable). Then, I put all of my in-flight essentials in the pocket. This makes it feel much more like my own space and less cluttered. I heard of a lady recently who brought an orange with her and used the peels as a natural scent diffuser!

[@nerleengonzales7724]

So thankful I found your chanel! Love your tips ❤

[@marydanessa]

I agree with selecting a good seat. Personally, I prefer the window seat just because of being able to look out and then able to rest my head if I need to sleep.

[@DanaBerez]

Yes the window I think is the most poplar choice and I can see why. It’s nice to be able to rest your head!

[@TravelingwithValeman77]

I prefer the aisle because i like the freedom to get up anytime without bothering people. On long haul trips, i tend to walk the aisles every 2 hrs. This keeps my blood flowing and to check for snacks at the back of the plane. Haha

[@noahjuanjuneau9598]

Everyone sharing itineraries so… here’s mine. Getting ready for another 25 hours in the aluminum tube - starting in Boston heading to Tokyo - that section is almost 14 hours duration - leaving just after noon from Logan in Boston and flying northwest over Canada heading toward Alaska, over the Bearing Sea, then south along Kamchatka Peninsula approaching Japan from the north, so flying over Hokkaido, and finally a slight right turn down into Narita - then… change planes in Narita for another flight of 10+ more hours, continuing south across the South China Sea (lots of turbulence in that part - bumpy bumpy) past the Philippines and over the Java Sea and finally down into CGK (Soekarno-Hatta) (SHIA) airport in Jakarta on the northwest side of the Island of Java… arriving around 1am the following day and finally out into the balmy tropical night. The journey crosses twelve time zones and the International Date Line. I don’t bother to reset my watch to sync with the time of my destination bcoz it’s the same hour just twelve hours ‘in the future’ so to speak. My airline of choice for the trip is JAL. They have a gigantic selection of menu options catering to all sorts of international diets from American, Japanese, Vegan, Hindu vegetarian, Jain vegetarian, Moslem, Halal, Kosher, Diabetic, Gluten intolerant… special meals for ppl with allergies, for passengers with religious dietary restrictions, several kids meals… it’s amazing the amount of thought that went into their numerous menu choices. I’m curious about the planning of the schedule - they serve the passengers a meal about an hour after takeoff and when everyone has eaten and the cleanup has finished they dim the lights and tint the windows creating an artificial twilight (tho it’s actually late afternoon) and many passengers try to settle in for some sleep. Fourteen hours. 14. For me… somewhere around eight to nine hours into the flight I find myself getting impatient still knowing we have six more hours til Narita, followed by a short walk thru the terminal to an identical plane for…. OMG… ten plus hours more heading toward Jakarta. It usually takes me at least two or three days to flip my schedule to get used to being exactly twelve hours out of sync with my life ‘on the other side’ since the two locations are on opposite sides of the world. What tips do I have? Can’t say bcoz everyone is different. I like to find something to read that will keep me interested and turning pages as much as possible… so that’s when I put aside the science and literature I normally read and try to find a thick novel. Your mileage may vary… Bon Voyage.

[@SemaAvalith]

im going on my first international trip 13 hr flight in like.. 20 something years and I was really nervous about the whole experience but your video really helped me be more prepared. I really like all the items you've recommended and I love your amazon storefront. Thank you!

[@_Feed_Me]

Just came back from Morocco, and the longest leg, 10 hours, was Madrid to Dallas. Watching 5 movies with my Apple headphones kept me sane, because they cancel more outside noise than the airline provides headphones. I survived, but now I wanna do a 13+ to get to Asia, and just the thought makes me wanna cry. Another tip was we stayed the night in a Spain airport terminal hotel, to break up the continuous flights, that way our longest leg was the first one of the day.

Hi from Texas. Hubby and I will going on my first international trip to Spain and Italy in October a little nervous but mostly excited. I decided to just be in the moment once we get there. Just booking some of must see places in Madrid, Barcelona, Florence and Rome then winging the rest. We will be there total of 20 days. Celebrating hubby’s belated retirement and it will be his 68th birthday too.

[@susangailkoch3935]

Love the ideas! I’m flying from Pittsburgh to Detroit, to Amsterdam, to Istanbul!😅

[@OneJuanWon]

Next long haul flight is SF to Manila (15+ hours, non-stop). Booked a seat in the first row of economy (just behind premium economy) facing the bulkhead and next to the emergency exit....3-feet of leg room and its positioned right over the wings which fulcrum point of the planes' rotating axis (most stable, least movement). You mentioned many good ideas, I'm going to try compression socks and a 1-liter bottle of water! Safe travels everyone 😊

[@Jahalang82]

I have to go pee often so I always try to get an aisle seat towards the back of the plane. Flying from the US to Japan or Incheon Korea usually takes 14 to 16 hours so I’m either sleeping or watching all of the movies. The very first time I flew internationally, I was given a middle seat in the center row. That was a terrible time because the people to my left and right both took sleeping pills and I could not wake them to go use the restroom. I normally wear a polo shirt, cargo pants and wear light jacket because it gets cold even with the blanket they give you; if I get cold I either zip it up or flip it around and use it as another blanket.

[@TravelingwithValeman77]

Ditto. Only book aisle seats for flights. Flying to Vietnam in two months. Flight from Toronto to Seoul and then Seoul to DaNang. With layover, that's almost 24 hrs. Quick walks during the flight helps my blood flow and enjoy extra snacks usually kept at the back of the plane.

I understand liking the aisle but I constantly get bumped with either the cart or other passengers which is annoying when asleep. It never fails that I get woke up as nudged.

[@marklihsu]

The best way to deal with a long haul flight is to get to the airport early to enjoy the lounge for a couple hours and make sure you book into business class lay flat seat. You can avoid the middle seat as there are none in business and first.

Yep, I know about not usually wanting to be close to the restroom, but I thought it’d be good to be near it for this trip because our son is still young and probably needs to go a lot, and he doesn’t give much warning before he’s like I have to go now. There are also three of us, so it’s nice that we can have one row together. We are going to Taiwan.

[@Elaines-travels]

Middle seat in the center bulkhead row, you don't need to get up when the people next to you need to get up, you have a ton of leg room and a good chance that no one will book a seat next to you.

[@layela5895]

I love sitting near the window seat, but also I just have this sinking feeling when I’m leaving for Paris in four weeks but I probably have to sit probably in like the middle seat

Flown BNE to HRW numerous times and don’t always book a stopover. 21 plus hours, 8 or 9 to Thai, Singapore etc then 12 or 13 to London. Don’t care for water much but do like wine and beer, always eat what they serve, rarely had a meal I hated. I’m not a good traveler so sleep as long as possible as I can’t watch the screen or read I get sick 😢 wasn’t so bad when they had drop-down screens that were a distance away.

[@hilamadventures4060]

Here is something different bring your own cloth dinner napkins , drape them over the airplane seat back table..create a picnic type atmosphere by bringing a very nice meal or cheese tray crackers in a small container..get some cheap plastic wine glasses (allowed by TSA)even if your not drinking wine served on the LH flights it makes any beverage look better than the plastic cups the airlines hand out .get some nice take away utensils from one of the many restaurants or airport lounges after clearing TSA.bring an orange, the aroma from the orange once your either slice or peel it adds such a fresh scent around the area your sitting in. Traveling alone or with someone makes this fun. Pull put your laptop ,tablet or pad/ pen. Write your autobiography or think tank some ideas.. it's stated that flying creates an amazing ability to think because of the altitude.

ANA. Also most on time I have ever seen.

[@alienrefugee51]

It's pretty much impossible to try and fall asleep until they serve the main meal and turn down the lights. That's the only time it's going to be somewhat quiet. For me, that's usually 2-3 hours into the flight. Then I get about 3 hours of quiet before the lights come back on, serve a snack and they prepare the cabin for landing. That's typical in my experience, going from the east coast USA to Paris. Air travel pretty much is the worst, with everything involved.

[@10yearsgone]

Cambodia is my next trip. 15 hrs to Doha and then another 8 to Cambodia. I have never fallen asleep on a plane before so I am going to talk to my doctor about this one. I'm thrilled to be going, but it feels very daunting.

12:05 I can't sleep before a trip. I go to bed at 1am and wake up at 4am, and only get a full night's sleep when I get to my destination.

I like middle seats because i personally don’t like windows cuz they kinda scared me ngl and IL seats are ok

[@DanaBerez]

Thanks for sharing!

I like to take Emerge C packages while flying since the air is recirculated and keeps me from getting sick

LAX to Rome, then Catania in the same day!

[@DanaBerez]

That is a journey!
