Think overnight spa instead of red-eye stress - Airplane tip

by Staci M. Alziebler (RSS feed) on Apr 29th 2010 at 11:20AM

Most people like to travel during the day, but I prefer to take the night flight and pamper myself. In my carry-on, I pack an eye mask, ear plugs, soothing music on my iPod, my fuzziest socks, and a journal.

As we start off, I order a glass of wine and write down my thoughts about the trip, and the top three things I have to do while I am there to feel like I experienced the place.

Then I sit back, listen to my music, wearing my eye mask and fuzzy socks. Before you know it, we have landed, and I am refreshed and ready to explore.

Good tip. I also look for and sometimes pay day-rates to the local airline lounges in airports that have shower rooms.

Stock photo is an Amtrak regional train... not really apropos to a red-eye flight. ;)
