Some people are terrified of flying, others love it. Some sleep on 12-hour flights without problems while others watch four movies to pass those long hours. I'm one of those people, unfortunately, and I haven't slept more than an hour on a plane (those seats are really uncomfortable!) And while flights can be uncomfortable, there are ways to really enjoy those hours in the sky (here go our 5 tips), and reasons why you might love the opportunity to relax and get excited about the journey ahead بلیط هواپیما. Because in the end, you're stuck behind that crying baby taking to the skies for a reason, right?
1. Opportunity to disconnect
How often do we turn off our phones and not use WhatsApp, Facebook or Instagram? We are always connected, always sharing, always chatting. Being on a plane is a rare opportunity to shut down all those conversations and sleep, relax, catch up on your favorite magazines, listen to music, watch some movies and maybe listen to that Coldplay album you never got around to listening to.
2. The food is surprisingly tasty (especially if you're hungry!)
I don't know about you, but I really enjoy those little sandwiches, snacks, and mini-meals they serve on airplanes. I'm usually so hungry and thirsty by the time they come around that I'll eat almost anything, cheese sandwiches with cranberry sauce (what were you thinking, SWISS!?) or chicken pasta with a weird yellow sauce (curry or cheese? Who knows!) Push it all down with one of those mini-cans of Coca Cola, a cup of coffee and the cabin boy experience among the clouds is complete!
3. You never know who you are going to meet
I've met fascinating people on airplanes, and while it's perfectly fine to focus on what you're doing and sleep, read, or listen to music while not paying attention to the person sitting next to you, you could end up having a great chat and learn new things by turning to them with a friendly smile and maybe saying a word or two. I once did just that and learned more about the fashion industry than I ever imagined!
Some good phrases if you don't know how to break the ice: Work trip or vacation? What's your favorite destination in the world (especially if you're flying somewhere amazing like Los Angeles, Honolulu, London, or Paris)? Do you have any advice for (the city you are traveling to)?
4. It means a great ending
Flying is fun because it's something that takes you somewhere. Flights to your destination are guaranteed to be more fun than flights back, but I love that feeling of anticipation and excitement that comes when you head to the airport on the first day of your vacation. Airport lines aren't fun, but once you step on that plane, find your seat and look through that little window, that's it! You're already on your way!
5. It makes for incredible photos
Have you ever flown to Los Angeles during sunset? Or over London at 8 in the morning? It's wonderful, believe me, and deserves a photo or two on Instagram (even if you can only post it when you're back online on the ground!). Whether it's gorgeous sunsets or flying over the city, securing a window seat when you check in will be one of the smartest decisions you'll ever make.
