Flying tips

The idea of a long plane journey sounds boring and to some people even a little scary. I didn't used to like flying very much but since we have done a few planes journeys; a short one and a few long ones to LA.  I have realised there is nothing to be nervous about. The flight attendants do it all day, every day and to them it is nothing more than going in a car. It is alright to get a little bit nervous but there is truly no need to be. Once you have settled on the plane here are a few ideas to pass the time.

• Watch movies - if it is a long haul flight and you have a TV make the most of it. Sit back, enjoy yourself, relax and snuggle down.
• Read a book or colour in - reading a book is a pretty obvious thing to do. As most of the time is pretty quiet on an airplane take advantage of the situation. Colouring in sounds really young but in the UK (and probably the US but I haven't seen any) you can get "grown up colouring books" they have cute patterns in which are actually really relaxing to colour in.
• Sleep - if you can you might as well sleep. It passes the time really quickly and most people (I know I could) use a little more sleep. Get a blanket, get comfy and enjoy the journey.
• Pamper yourself - buy a face mask to do on the plane as skin tends to get really dry so make sure you moisturise afterwards as well. File your nails or try doing your hair and make up if that is something you enjoy.
• Do the stuff you never really have time to do - play a game on your iPad, draw or talk to your family or friends.
• These are just a few ideas you could try to pass the time. But most importantly enjoy the flight, look out the window and make the most of being waited on hand and foot.
