Fantastico Hacks To Survive Those Long Flights

I have only once experienced a long flight of 6 hours of duration. That time I was a kid and I really got bored in the flight. The long hours of flight duration can be very comfortable if you can sleep for most of time. It can be really enjoying if you also have someone beside you who is interesting and loves to gossip with you. There are also other ways like listening to some favorite audio recordings or watching the movies. Long hours of flights travelling are experiences can horrify you if you are not comfortable and does not like sitting in one place for long. The experience can make you crazy and uncomfortable.

I have been through this situation because previously, I didn’t like taking flights much because there were so many rules and regulations. My dad loves to go on road trips, so half of the India I have travelled by my car. But since, I became a writer and started my work, I had to travel at least twice in a month via flight. All this started in 2013 when my first novel Too hard to handle got published. I had to take flights back to back when on my book tour. Since that time I became habitual of flying and now I travel like a pro.
