How to Have the Most Comfortable Flight of Your Life

1.Bring your own snacks

If we're being honest, plane food can seriously suck.  And depending on what airport you're flying through, there may not be the freshest or the healthiest options.  Check out these delicious recipes from the HuffPost and make the person sitting next to you jealous.

2. Keep moving

Getting off an international flight to realize you've gotten cankles during a 12-hour flight can be a bit of a downer.  Whether it's getting up to walk up and down the aisles every other hour or stretching, there are some serious benefits from getting up and moving around.  Try this airplane yoga video from My Yoga Works on your next flight. 

3. Travel light

No one wants to be that person who hits everyone with their carry-on as they walk down the plane aisle. A little extra legroom under the seat in front of you can also do wonders. So next time you're packing for your flight, choose a streamline carry-on. We love this one from Herschel Supply Co. at Nordstrom.

4. Dress warm and comfortably

Being cold during a flight can be pretty brutal.  The best way to prevent yourself from turning into an ice cube is to layer up.  Pack an extra pair of warm socks if you've got on sandals or throw a lightweight travel blanket in your carry-on.  

5.  Grab a drink!

If you like to get to the airport super early, take advantage of the time there and hit up the airport bar.  A drink or two will definitely help you sleep much easier on the flight.  Just remember not to lose track of time!
