Monday, January 24th, 2011

3.             Reading material during stress-free air travel: Take a book or magazine with you.  By having something to read, you can keep yourself busy and occupied during your stress-free air travel.  If you like to do crossword puzzles or word search, take along a book of them to help entertain you.  If you forget to pack these items, they will be available in the airport.

4.             Electronic items on your stress-free air travel: Another way to entertain yourself and experience stress-free air travel would be by having your iPod, laptop, etc. with you.  You can listen to music or watch DVD’s to help for your entertainment or to drown out noisy children.  Just make sure you are considerate of those around you by using your headsets.  That helps made sure everyone has stress-free air travel!

5.             Personal reflection during your stress-free air travel: Take your journal or a notebook with you.  This is a perfect time to do some goal setting and/or personal reflection.  Write your thoughts down and use this time to reflect and plan.  This is a great way to help ensure that you have stress-free air travel.

6.             Personal comfort and relaxation while experiencing stress-free air travel: Being in such close and dry (airplanes are very dry) quarters has its own challenges.  Pack small items like lip balm, eye drops, and nasal spray.  Drink plenty of water while in flight.  Have a small blanket or some kind of wrap with you that you can use for warmth in a cool plane.  If it is too warm you have a make-shift pillow to rest your head on while enjoying stress-free air travel.  Listen to your favorite relaxing music.  You might even  be relaxed enough during  your stress-free air travel that you are able to a snooze while in the air!

By packing some “comforts from home” in your carry-on bag, you can experience relaxing and  stress-free air travel.
