How to Make Time Fly on Long Haul Flights

Flying across continents and oceans is the fastest way to travel, but it still means that you will have to spend considerable periods cooped up inside an airplane. A couple of hours in a plane is not an issue for many people, but extend that time to 8 hours or more, and then you might face problems. It is especially difficult for people who cannot afford business class or first class – which applies to many! I have flown my share of long haul flights, and I have been lucky to have had things and activities loosely planned so as to stave off boredom. Here are some of my tried and tested ways to make time fly during long flights.

Sleep!

This is rather easy for me, as I love my sleep! Some of my closest friends have this insidery joke about me being able to sleep practically anywhere, in any position. If you are the same, then you will be able to while away many hours sleeping in the plane. If, however, you do not fall asleep easily, you can consider not getting enough sleep before the flight. This way, your body will be forced to get some rest while you are tens of thousands of miles up in the air.

Bring a book.

Whether it is a book made of real paper or an eBook, it does not matter. Long flights are perfect for catching up on your reading. Think about the book that you have been wanting to read but never had time for. Wouldn’t reading it be an excellent way to kill time?

Be sociable.

This one’s a little tricky, but if you have the right personality for it and if you are lucky enough, you just might experience the best human interaction ever. Open yourself to the idea of engaging your seatmate/s in conversation. Gauge the person/s beside you to see if they are open to conversation as well. If the elements are right, you won’t notice how long the flight is, and you might even make a friend or two!

Watch movies.

If you are not the reading type, then you always have the option of watching movies. Depending on your carrier, you might have on-board entertainment options. If you are like me, however, you will always have a gadget with you. Whether it’s a laptop or a tablet, the gadget can save your sanity. Make sure you have your device/s fully charged and loaded with media that you enjoy. Depending on the length of your flight, you can spend the entire time watching movies, playing games, and listening to music.

5 Tips to Balance Your Time During the Holidays

The holidays are not a time for relaxation or for letting the days pass by sluggishly. The holidays are a time for getting as much done as possible in the short month you have between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Most people are even starting before Thanksgiving in an attempt to get as much done as possible. This holiday season, learn how to balance your time so that you can get as much done as you want, without neglecting the more important things. Don’t let the glitter of extreme Christmas decorating take away from quality time with your family. Stop yourself from doing poorly on final exams because you went to yet another ugly sweater party. Here are 5 ways to balance your time during the holidays:

 

  1. Set aside family time. For most people, the holidays are a time to be with the people they are closest too. Often, other things of lesser importance get in the way. To avoid this, schedule out your time with close friends and family before things get hectic. Make sure that time is committed to them and make it non-negotiable. If you have to miss a work party or a charity event to be with family, then do it.
  2. Shop early. If you already missed the pre-Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping, there’s still time to get your shopping done early. Most people have the false impression that there remains yet another full month before they need to have their shopping done, but don’t let this thought fool you. The business of doing other things will make the time fly by. Start buying presents and wrapping them as soon as you read this—there’s no time to delay!
  3. Learn to say no. If you already have a full plate and someone asks you to do yet one more thing, you are in no way obligated to say yes. Instead, learn the fine art of saying “no”. You don’t have to be mean or rude about it, you can explain your situation to the person and kindly let them know that you won’t be available. But be warned, some people may still be upset with your denial, despite your efforts and kindness. If this is the case, don’t sweat it, you wouldn’t have done a good job if you had overworked yourself and you would have been forced to neglect things that were more important to you.
  4. Learn to cheat. If you don’t have the time to cook an entire homemade meal, it’s ok to cheat on a few things. Instead of making homemade bread and homemade pies, make the bread and buy your pie from a store this year.

Traveling Tips to Save you Money

The number one reason that people do not use up all of the vacation hours that they earn at work every year is because they do not have enough money to take a vacation. Instead, they either work or find things to do around the house because they think that taking a vacation is going to cost them too much money. While traveling can be expensive, there are things that you can do to help cut the costs and still have a wonderful vacation. Everyone needs to get away from the daily stress of work and the routines that we all fall into. One of the easiest ways to relax and rejuvenate is to get away for a little while.

The thing to keep in mind when planning a vacation is that you do not need to travel to another country, or an island to experience the benefits of taking a vacation. Some of the most quality time you spend on a vacation could be in your neighboring state or even countryside. You do not need to take a two week vacation either, even a few days away from the stress of every day life can be enough to relieve your stress and help you become relaxed.

There are a lot of great options that may be closer than you think to your own back door. Check out what is going on for local attractions or nearby attractions that could turn into a fun little vacation or getaway. Finding a lake cabin or resort for camping can be an excellent way to spend good family time together and get out in nature away from the distractions of modern living. You can also find a hotel with a spa if you are looking for a little pampering on your next vacation. If you do choose to fly, you can be flexible with the dates and times that you fly which can save a lot of money for you. You can also check out what rates are available for taking a bus or train. That can also lend you scenic adventures along the way. If your family is really into the great outdoors, you can plan a camping trip and save yourself a lot of money by not having to stay in a hotel.

A good idea is to check out different travel sites to see what is coming up for specials and deals and where you can go to get a great vacation without having to spend a lot of money.
