Going on an overseas vacation can be extremely exciting but, to get to your holiday destination, you often have to endure a long flight. While flying may not be everyone’s cup of tea, we have some advice that can improve your experience, especially over the upcoming peak holiday season. Just remember, a lot of people are also going on holiday during this time so airports will be extremely busy. But don’t let congested airports, security scanners and long queues stress you out. Here are are 8 tips for a great international flight:
#1. Keep all your important travel documents safe
Make sure you have your ID and passport on hand as well as copies of both so that if either gets stolen or goes missing you won’t end up unable to travel back home from your holiday destination. Make sure your passport has at least 6 months left before the expiry date before you travel to another country.
#2. Dress comfortably
You want to be as comfortable as possible during your flight. Here are a few dressing guidelines for travelling:
- Wear supportive and very comfortable undergarments. Make sure there are no tags or uncomfortable seams on your undergarments that may bother you during your flight.
- Don’t wear pants that are too tight around your waist.
- Wear a few layers so that you can put on and take off clothes depending on the temperature in the airport and on the plane.
- Wear comfortable shoes.
#3. Keep your hand luggage light and easy to carry
Some people try to use their hand luggage as extra space to carry stuff that won’t fit into their main luggage. Avoid cramming clothes and other items into your hand luggage as it is also weighed before you board the plane.
#4. Stay hydrated
The air in the plane isn’t humidified so flying can leave you feeling very parched. Staying hydrated will prevent your skin, nasal passage and lips from feeling very dry and chapped. Obviously, water is the best drink of choice. Make sure you keep drinking water throughout the trip and don’t substitute it for other drinks, like coffee and soda.
#5. Avoid caffeine and alcohol
Although a nice hot cup of coffee or a relaxing glass of wine may seem like the best beverages to have on the plane, both caffeine and alcohol can affect your ability to rest properly on the plane. Avoid drinking these drinks and rather just stick to water, like mentioned in the above point.
#6. Pack healthy travel snacks
Save yourself both money and discomfort by bringing along some healthy snacks for your trip. This is especially important if you’re fussy and don’t particularly want to eat airplane food.
#7. Carry hand sanitizer
Hand sanitizer is always good to carry around, especially if you’re making use of public facilities. You can squirt some hand sanitiser onto your hands before eating and after touching surfaces everybody touches.
#8. Don’t forget the small important things
Hand cream, earphones, an eye mask, hand sanitiser, toothpaste, dental floss and even sunblock are items that should not be forgotten. Make sure you have all these important items in your hand luggage so that you can enjoy a great flight.

Greetings Amelia,
Thank you for your interest in VIP Express.
You don’t mention what you need to do to your hair that could be a concern. All our accommodation has electricity if you are referring to an item you use on your hair. Before departure you can check with us, we will check your accommodation to find out what type of adapter you would need if any.
It is always best to check with your hotel reception or your tour guide about going out alone in the dark. Many of of our tours include ‘night life’. The sand on the beaches that we recommend are clean so that’s nothing to worry about; the sand does however get very hot so we suggest you take your flip flops along to the beach trips. Too much sun is not recommended for long periods at a time, however a certain amount of sun is good vitamin D for you but you should always use a sun protection cream.
We hope you book a trip soon!
Kind regards
