So many blunders can happen when you travel. Flights get delayed more often than you think; you can be seated next to someone who has no understanding of personal space and even more disastrous things.
But half the time, you cannot change these things, so it’s better to just relax. In situations like these, a good attitude is the best attitude.
Have a Heart-to-Heart
Most people would rather keep to themselves on a flight, but people who travel often might like getting to know new people. You might find yourself on a flight with someone who likes to chit-chat, and they could be really interesting, but you’d have to indulge them with a conversation to find out. Getting to know someone new is fun, so make the most of your long-haul flight.
You’ll be stuck next to someone for hours so make it count. But you don’t want to bother anyone, so keep having conversations with those that are keen.
Be Unbothered
Some people can be really friendly on planes, but others not so much. If you’re one of those that doesn’t want to be bothered, get your mean face ready. Most people will stop disturbing you if you give them the “death glare.”
Nobody will want to come near you, but that’s exactly what you want such a good job.
Go Against the Grain
As most of us know, the majority of people are right-handed. The world is designed for right-handed people, and people tend to be inclined to move toward their dominant hand.
If you want to avoid long lines, you need to go against the grain and take a left if there’s a fork. Everything will be a lot faster.
Stretch a Little
Regular stretching on a long-haul flight is extremely beneficial to your overall health. Sitting for a long period of time will do some serious damage to your spine, so you want to make sure you’re getting as much movement in your body as possible.
This is also good for your blood flow as the flow of blood to your limbs can be obstructed. A few basic stretches in the aisle every hour can make the world of difference. Be sure to keep it up, and soon others will join you.
