Up, Up, and No Way Am I Sitting Like This for 12 Hours

Let’s be real, long-haul flights can be brutal. Cramped seats, dry cabin air, and hours of wondering why you didn’t pick the window seat. You could be heading off on an epic holiday or travelling internationally for work, the real win is arriving in one piece, well-rested, well-fed, and well… not gross.

But don’t worry, OneDayOnly has got your back (literally - hello). Here’s everything you need to survive long flights like a pro, from pre-takeoff prep to in-flight must-haves.

Pack Smart: Only the Essentials, Please

Before you board, ensure your carry-on is working smarter, not heavier. That means carry-on essentials like:

Throw it all into a sleek carry-on suitcase or spacious tote bag, and you’re sorted.

Dress Like You Know You’re Going to Regret Jeans

Thinking about wearing jeans on a long flight? Don’t do it. Go for soft, breathable fabrics, slip-on shoes, and a light layer. Did you know, you’ll lose roughly half of your body heat on an overnight flight, so a handy hoodie or scarf can be a game-changer.

Hot tip: Pack comfortable walking shoes in your check-in luggage for exploring when you land.

Sleep Like a Flight Attendant

Getting decent shut-eye on a plane feels like trying to sleep upright in a moving chair, because that’s exactly what it is. But the right gear can help. Use your eye mask, get comfortable with a good travel pillow, and tune into white noise with your noise-cancelling headphones. Remember, you can get all these essentials at OneDayOnly.

Do you need to nap, but the turbulence says no? Try a calming app or light meditation. Even flight attendants use them!

Bonus: Add a sachet of electrolyte powder to your water to beat jet lag like a legend.
