Seven Long Haul Travel Tips
- July 9th 2009
So you’re going on a long haul business trip. While it’s great to be traveling to a far away destination, the mechanics of travel can be exhausting and stressful. If you know how to plan, though, you can make sure that you have a comfortable flight.
1. Seat Allocation
The first step is to get a good seat. If you do your research before booking, you may be able to choose an airline that offers a couple extra inches of legroom. That makes a heck of a lot of difference after you’ve been sitting in a plane for hours. I once took a charter flight from the UK to the Caribbean and it took three days for my knees to recover.

2. Check In Early
Check in early to stand the best chance of getting the seat you want. I always like to arrive at least an hour before the given check in time. The best seat depends on whether I don’t want to be disturbed by others getting in and out of their seats (window) or whether I want the freedom to move around (aisle). Once I’m checked in, I can make an early start on my in-flight reading in the departure lounge instead of standing in line with those who arrived at the stated time.
