Hey guys! How is everyone today? :) Since I just took a 14 and a half hour international flight, I thought it was a great time to finally share my video all about how to survive long flights!! I share tips on all things comfort, sleep, passing time, and all of the more important and essential things I've learned from traveling frequently. :) If you have a long flight tip, share it below!! xo

[@bookishcallie]

Where did you go? :)

[@anantasin]

Jessica Neistadt mine is always 13 hours long

[@kylie..57]

Mine is only 6 hours long xd

[@bobataro.-]

my flight is literally 15 and a half hours long 🙂

[@caitlinlouiseee]

What does the magnesium help with?

[@nittoburn4]

*I dont know why Im watching a bunch of flight videos, when I have absolutely no where to go.*

[@tameradavis3493]

[@sandinewton1896]

Hint for freshening up after a flight, wear a panty liner on the flight, remove at first potty visit, clean up with water wipes, and refresh with spray or whatever is your freshioning choice. This is when it’s not feasible to change panties just after a flight.

[@nataliegian]

What an awesome idea!

[@livelovely4681]

A pantyliner seems sweatier than just freshening up after the restroom 😅

[@TheTrishass]

My personal tips to add: 1. Noise cancelling earphones are a life saver. 2. Bring your hotel slippers on the flight home (they're usually so thin they fit onto my carry on bags easily) so it's easy to slip on and off when you go the bathroom and you can leave them on the plane 3. Bring your toothbrush and skincare routine so you can do it after dinner and going through your usual routine helps your brain think it's time to sleep - helps with adjusting to the time zone! 4. They usually offer tea and coffee after dinner. I usually just opt for hot water so the caffeine doesn't keep me awake. If it's after breakfast I always get the coffee 5. In your thumbnail I think you're wearing a jumpsuit? I try to avoid playsuits or jumpsuits because it's too hard to take the whole thing off when I go to the bathroom 😭 6. My hair always gets greasy so I try to bring dry shampoo but if I forget it I use the facial tissues in the bathroom to "blot" my hair roots and it improves the oiliness a little

[@tuttifruttitea5306]

The water used for the coffee is also used for toilets and bathroom waters, so try to stay away from coffee during flights

[@merrilew]

As a flight attendant; I suggest you NEVER drink anything with water from the pipes of the airplane. They harbor serious bacteria and THAT is what is making you sick.

[@hjhahmad1138]

So? Can v drink d coffee?

[@luciaa9203]

Hjh Ahmad no

[@unicornlucy3855]

Lol yea when I need to wear jumpsuits when using restroom it’s so uncomfortable and hard

[@euro_babe]

bring a travel pack of disinfecting wipes with you on the plane. i usually just hold it in my hand and before i sit in my seat i wipe down the whole seat, headrest, tray table, seat belt etc. that stuff never gets cleaned so it gives me piece of mind

[@euro_babe]

my cousin takes it a step further and wears a face mask on planes since she travels so much for work

[@AnneMB955]

eurobabe - great idea! We don’t see the myriad of germs on planes especially with short turn-arounds.

[@aaliyahnuyen9939]

I've heard the gray tray is dirtier than the toilet button !

[@htrang9440]

LK Music Productions your comment makes no sense

[@euro_babe]

@@htrang9440 glad I'm not the only one who thought that lol

[@lozzycozzy1666]

Living in Australia, most international flights are long flights. I always, ALWAYS go no makeup on a flight, and pack face wash/moisturiser so that even if I can't have a shower during a layover, I can feel fresher by washing my face. I also always pack a cream/gel deodorant and a toothbrush + travel sized toothpaste. Brushing your teeth automatically helps you feel less gross.

[@AnneMB955]

lozzy cozzy - excellent tips! I’m also from Australia (Melbourne). We’re hours and hours from anywhere. It’s important to feel clean and comfortable.

[@hjhahmad1138]

@@AnneMB955....I'm leaving for Melbourne on d 8/3....

[@HighHeelDiva]

lozzy cozzy I do all of this too.

[@amyhughes4648]

I live in the uk and the longest flight I’ve ever had was about 4 hours

[@xtioltillz5153]

lozzy cozzy I’m an Australian aswell, I literally do this too for every flight..

[@Secretcrushonglam]

My additional tips: - use a sea water nasal spray regularly (zero meds, just to keep your nose fresh and hydrated) - use a nasal douche after the flight - drink plenty of water during the flight - get up every hour and move a bit. Walk, do squats, stretch etc.

[@itsaddietubeTV]

[@JessicaNeistadt]

Thank you! 💕

[@leonora6326]

I agree

[@giobreek]

A good tip too in addition to clean underwear is a travel bidet, and fragrance free bar soap and wash cloth. Also wet wipes are your best friend for wiping after going number 2. And to clean off your face too.

[@AnneMB955]

Excellent tips, Jessica. Having been on many a long flight from Melbourne Australia, I can vouch for your thoughts. Also, get up and move around as much as possible, pre-download Netflix seasons to watch on iPad. Audiobooks. Crosswords etc. Watched a whole season of Travellers on our trip to U.K. last year. A big tip would be to regard travelling as part of the holiday, enjoy ourselves and not wish the time away. Well done friend.

[@raiu]

I can never sleep on planes (or anywhere other than a quiet bed, for that matter) so I tried tip 11 before for a flight from the UK to Japan. By the time I got to my hotel, I had been awake for 36 hours and was having hallucinations in the lobby. 😂😂

[@beckychen1489]

I’ve been obsessed with Travel videos lately, I go to China to see family every 3-4 years, this year I didn’t go but it’s like more than 14 hours on the plane but the whole travelling experience + layovers can take up to 30+ hours depending so thank you so much !!

[@MayBird...]

I'm going on a big, 15 hour flight to Japan this Summer, and as an active kid who NEEDS TO MOVE, it's going to be my hell. I've been to some pretty cool places including Alaska, Mexico, Hawaii, and Canada; my biggest tip is to download podcasts about the place you're visiting. Tips, last-minute language learning, places to see, etc. it will ebb a bit of your excitement and get you prepared!

[@dxya888]

U look so much like camila mendes from riverdale 🤩

[@strawberrypancakes948]

Loved this because I literally think the same! Living in Australia, most overseas flights are long (to USA or Europe) and I can definitely agree that a change in underwear and loose clothing is essential!

I love living in Aus but it sucks if you wanna go anywhere 😥

[@domoandfriends]

Whenever I go on a long haul flight where I know I won't have access to a shower, I take a washcloth with me and give myself a "shower" using hot water and soap in the bathroom. I bring a hand towel too to dry off (and clean up the bathroom after) and just throw away the wash cloth when I'm done. Feels so great.

[@bibijafiq7434]

A Neck pillow is a must on long flights

[@liz3511]

I invested in a memory foam one that attached to my seat. Sounds weird ! But it stopped my head doing that awful thing where it suddenly falls forward and jolts you awake. Best investment I've ever made:-) I also highly recommend sleeping pills for long haul flights - my 17 hour flight from.Auckland to Dubai was a whole lot more bearable when I was able to sleep through most of it.

[@vanessagreen9637]

I do the bathroom immediately after eating too. It has saved me so many times. I learned the hard way and it’s hard to do the bathroom dance in the aisle next to strangers.

[@freyamoon7032]

jessica always gives the best advice

[@shelbyparker378]

Please please please do NOT take magnesium for the first time before going on a long haul flight. If you really want to try it see how your body reacts to it first before you go. Taking this causes A LOT of people to have explosive diarrhea. I took it before and well - - I would never recommend it. I suggest taking a sleep aide instead. Loved the video the only thing I disagree on is the last tip.

[@margiebros6930]

Magnesium Citrate will have that effect; I use magnesium biglycinate which helps with sleep without affecting digestion.

[@shreeyatambe2721]

Know what's secret during long haul flights? Mine is simple using my Nomad Lane Bento bag. It is just perfect because it is specious enough to fit all of my necessities like water, laptop, toiletries, clothes, gadgets etc. It has a lot of compartment that really gives me easy access to my phone or passport whenever I need it. It also has a trolley sleeve where I can just put on top of my luggage without any worries. It is also small enough to fit under my seat, so I can get my things whenever I want without standing up to reach the overhead compartment. Simply put, it's just the best!
