Hydrate.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s no secret that recirculated airplane air is not the ideal environment for looking your best. Air cabin humidity is usually low, around 20 percent (home humidity is generally above 30). And while low humidity is not harmful to your health, it can cause discomfort and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/beauty\/beauty-tips-for-cold-weather\/\">dry skin<\/a>, as your parched hands and lips mid-flight have probably attested to. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asma.org\/asma\/media\/asma\/Travel-Publications\/HEALTH-TIPS-FOR-AIRLINE-TRAVEL-Trifold-2013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aerospace Medical Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> recommends drinking eight ounces of water for every hour. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other ways to get a little extra H20 into your skin and body include nasal or face misters (3 oz. travel size versions, of course) or hydrating face masks. You may get some strange looks from other passengers using the latter, but hey, that\u2019s the price of beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>2. But maybe BYO water.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not all water is created equal when you\u2019re flying. Airplane tap water has a notoriously bad reputation and according to a 2019 study by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/pub_releases\/2019-08\/tcuo-2aw082919.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CUNY&#8217;s Hunter College NYC Food Policy Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, there is some truth to that. Various airlines were given \u201cwater health scores\u201d based on things like fleet size, positive E. coli and coliform water sample reports. American and Allegiant Airlines had the safest drinking water, while JetBlue and Spirit Airlines were at the bottom of the list. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The authors advised that if you want to be \u201cextra safe,\u201d never drink any water that isn\u2019t in a sealed bottle, avoid the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/lifestyle\/healthy-coffee\/\">coffee<\/a> and tea, and use hand sanitizer instead of washing your hands in the bathroom. Also, bring a reusable bottle and fill up before boarding, or suck it up and pay for the overpriced water at one of the airport stores (hey, it beats drinking free bacteria, right?).<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>3. Avoid booze and caffeine if you want to sleep.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It may be tempting to take advantage of the free alcohol on international flights, but if you do want to catch a few zzz\u2019s, Tracy Stewart, content editor at airfare deal site, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airfarewatchdog.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Airfarewatchdog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, says, \u201cDo yourself a favor and skip the wine with dinner, and avoid coffee. Not only do these ruin your REM sleep cycle, but they leave you dehydrated and groggy. If you can&#8217;t bear the thought of giving up coffee, at least ask for decaf.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_236939\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-236939\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-236939\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/neeloofathi.jpg\" alt=\"how to survive a long flight-wear comfortable pieces\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-236939\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via @neeloofathi; Featured: I<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/products\/iconic-moves-charcoal-grey-tie-dye-pullover-sweatshirt\/1096302.html\">conic Moves Charcoal Grey Tie Dye Pullover Sweatshirt<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/products\/iconic-moves-charcoal-grey-tie-dye-joggers\/1096322.html\">Iconic Moves Charcoal Grey Tie Dye Joggers<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>4. Pick your seat wisely.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cEveryone has their own personal reasons for choosing the seat they like, and each has its pros and cons,\u201d says Stewart. \u201cIf you know you&#8217;re the type to make frequent trips to the bathroom, or you have a tendency not to sleep so much on long flights, go for the aisle. But if you hope to cram in as much sleep as you can, opt for the window seat. By choosing the window, you&#8217;ll have control over the window shade, plus an extra wall to support yourself while nodding off.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>5. Sanitize your space.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We regret to inform you, but airplane seats are \u201cshockingly filthy places. Tray tables, seatback pockets, and armrests are all crawling with bacteria and rarely if ever get cleaned as well as they should,\u201d says Stewart. Her advice is to \u201ctake a tip from Naomi Campbell and sanitize the area around your seat using an antibacterial wipe.\u201d (ICYMI, the supermodel uploaded a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b-U_jT9qWvs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">YouTube video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> last year detailing her airplane routine, which involves putting on gloves and wiping down every surface of and around her seat, bringing her own seat cover, and wearing a protective face mask).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>6. Mind your health.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even after all that sanitizing, being squeezed in a tiny space with a lot of people means there are a lot of airborne germs floating around. Pick up a face mask, or give your immune system a little boost. Kyle Valenta, Executive Editor at travel review site, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oyster.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oyster.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, says, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I also always pack a zinc supplement with me, as coming down with a cold two days after flying is an unfortunate and regular part of traveling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_236943\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-236943\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-236943\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/eeeev.jpeg\" alt=\"woman with a suitcase for how to survive a long flight\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1245\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-236943\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via @eeeev<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>7. Dress for comfort.<\/h4>\n<p><b> \u201c<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Everyone wants to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/fashion\/what-to-wear-on-a-beach-vacation\/\">look cute<\/a> when they fly, but now isn\u2019t the time for overly complicated boots, gladiator sandals, or anything else that requires a lot of lacing, fastening, or tugging,\u201d says Stewart. \u201cNot only will you be miserable in your seat, but don&#8217;t forget that feet tend to swell on long flights.\u201d Pack the fancy shoes and opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/categories\/179_40\/flats.html\">something comfortable<\/a>. One way to reduce swelling is to wear a pair of compression socks, which can help increase the blood circulation in your legs and feet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>8. Outsmart jet lag.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Traveling cross-country usually doesn\u2019t cause a huge disruption in your schedule, other than making you an uncharacteristically early or later riser. But when you\u2019re dealing with traveling across many time zones and a 12+ hour time difference, your body clock takes a hit. Exposure to sunlight is the best way to adapt to a new time zone, according to the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.asma.org\/asma\/media\/asma\/Travel-Publications\/HEALTH-TIPS-FOR-AIRLINE-TRAVEL-Trifold-2013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aerospace Medical Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which recommends trying to get some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/lifestyle\/the-13-best-workout-music-2019\/\">exercise<\/a> and sun to help adjust quickly during longer trips. Also, try to get on your new time zone\u2019s schedule as quickly as possible\u2014yes, you\u2019ll be tired after a long flight, but resist taking a nap immediately after you land and try to power through until nighttime. Your body will thank you the next morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_236955\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-236955\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-236955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/tatycake.jpeg\" alt=\"how to survive a long flight: woman in red dress traveling\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-236955\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via @tatycake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>9. Invest in a good pair of noise-canceling headphones.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Valenta says<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cnoise-canceling headphones for the plane ride are a must, especially on any long-haul flight where you\u2019re hoping to get some sleep. However, even on shorter flights, it\u2019s worth investing in a good pair to eliminate any noise from chatty seatmates or the inevitable upset baby.\u201d Plus it will make your movie-watching session that much more enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Travel Safety Tips<\/h2>\n<h4>10. Don\u2019t underestimate the power of common sense.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIn most destinations, common sense will go a long way,\u201d advises Valenta. \u201cThe truth is that tourists make easy targets, most often because they are found in high concentrations in specific areas of any given destination (think: Times Square, the Trevi Fountain in Rome, and so on). Unsurprisingly, this is where the majority of petty crimes will occur.\u201d Be extra aware of both your belongings and surroundings when in highly touristy areas, regardless if you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/lifestyle\/best-beach-vacations-in-us\/\">traveling<\/a> alone or with others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_236954\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-236954\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-236954\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/vanessa.e.aguirre.jpg\" alt=\"woman walking down a street with flags: travel safety tips\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1250\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-236954\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via @vanessa.e.aguirre<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>11. Watch your valuables.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Valenta advises, \u201cavoid carrying anything valuable in your back pockets. Try dividing up your bank cards and credit cards, as well as cash, in your front pockets and a money belt that\u2019s worn under your clothes. If you must carry a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/categories\/99_39\/handbags-and-purses.html\">purse<\/a>, make sure it latches closed and wear it across your body. Backpacks also make easy targets, as the outside pockets are unzipped without the victim noticing. Roll-top backpacks without external access zippers and bags that provide a larger flap over the main compartment\u2019s enclosure are your best bet.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>12. Protect your passport.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Misplaced luggage or translation mishaps are minor concerns compared to losing or getting your passport stolen. Make copies of your passport before you leave. Stash one at home with a friend or family member, and carry one with you, but lock up your actual passport in your hotel safe or other secure location when you arrive. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/international-travel\/before-you-go\/travelers-checklist.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The US Department of State<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> also recommends keeping your passport separate from your money and out of your back pocket.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_236942\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-236942\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-236942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cherrielynn2.jpg\" alt=\"woman in a maxi dress during a trip\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1140\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-236942\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via @cherrielynn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>13. Have a stash of cash.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAlways keep a reserve of USD in cash with you during your trip. We recommend at least $100. Leave this stored in your hotel\u2019s safe,\u201d says Valenta. Having some backup cash could come in handy in a pinch or if you have problems with local ATMs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>14. Bonus: It\u2019s possible to get hotel upgrades (sometimes).<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although free upgrades are probably the exception rather than the norm, it never hurts to ask nicely. Valenta says, \u201cIn hotels, it can pay off to make contact with the front desk ahead of time with a special request (so long as that special request isn\u2019t absurd and is, in fact, legitimate). If it\u2019s your first time visiting a city and you\u2019d like an amazing view, let them know. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is absolutely no guarantee that this will work, but occasionally when you show up that day to check in you may find yourself pleasantly surprised. I find that this trick works best at luxury properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;However, don\u2019t expect to get a suite when you\u2019ve booked a standard room. The upgrades we\u2019re talking about are more humble\u2014you\u2019ll score a higher floor room instead, or a deluxe room instead of your standard one. Even so, it\u2019s a nice gesture that hotels can use when they have the inventory to do so.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have any other travel safety tips or hacks for long flights?
