20 Travel Essentials That Make Long International Flights Bearable

Making personal discoveries across worlds unknown while creating new cultural connections and indulging local delectables, undoubtedly some of the many perks of traveling. Before reaching our journey’s end, comes the all too unpopular horrors of long intercontinental economy flights.

Touchscreen entertainment systems meant to allure passengers with hours of full length movies, audio streams and video games. Yet, sitting for hours on end calls for much needed comfort and rest.

Here are some of our travel essentials that have helped us survive long international flights during our many travels. Read on and hear our ideas on how to travel in comfort. You can also check out these items on our store by clicking here.
