I try to avoid travelling by airplane, given the environmental impact of all that flying. But tomorrow I have to fly for work.

What are your airport/airplane tips?

    Set your meal preference. I usually choose “Asian Vegetarian”. That guarantees you a (somewhat) tasty curry and you’ll also be served first.

    If you’re travelling to somewhere with a significant timezone change, prepare beforehand. Start shifting your body clock about 1 hour per day. Most importantly, shift when you eat your meals - that seems to be the key for me.

    Unless you are flying business class or higher, there’s no real way to get a good sleep on a plane. All the gadgets in the world won’t help. Get a thick sleep mask and some earplugs and hope for the best.

    Once the seatbelt sign is off, take your shoes off. You’ll feel a lot more comfortable. Put them on if you go to the toilet though!
