Whether it’s a quick 2 hour flight, or a 14 hour flight from one side of the earth to the other – you’ll want to be prepared! So, I’d like to share my top 8 travel tips with you :).


The first time I got on a plane, I was about 8 years old. At that age, I had everything packed and figured out for me. The only thing I had to worry about was staying sane (because you know, 8 old kids are sometimes difficult and get bored easily).

Anyway! Being an adult now, I certainly have to take these matters into my own hands. Getting the packing list together, and just remaining open minded. I’ve learned some things after a few trips and picked up a few tips.

These tips will hopefully keep you sane, comfortable and relaxed until you get to your destination.

8 travel tips

Be patient and flexible:
I don’t think i’ve ever gotten on a plane right at the time I was supposed to. One time, I missed my flight altogether and had to stay in Germany for a day.

Be nice and considerate:
If you’re on an 8 hour flight, so is everyone else around you… Obviously.

Download music and/or movies/shows to your phone:
I downloaded movies and shows on my iPad mini using the Netflix app. I also downloaded music on Spotify and then used offline mode. Don’t forget your headphones or earbuds!

Don’t wear makeup:
Skin always feels wonky after a flight. Just bring some lotion.

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes:
I personally love to wear running shoes, yoga pants and a sweater while I’m on a plane.

A battery pack:
My Insignia power pack  (charges your phone 4x) for my phone is a life saver on those long trips (Toronto > Europe ends up being 20 hours of travel in total).

Pack a snack or two:
I don’t typically have much of an appetite when I’m on a plane, but it’s good to have a snack just in case. Another reason for a snack, is if the airplane food isn’t the tastiest.

Pack some ibuprofen/Advil:
Just in case your stomach starts to hurt, or if you want to sleep on the plane (Tylenol PM).
