For many travelers, it’s not the actual flight that they dread—it’s the hustle and bustle of the airport that causes the most stress. It doesn’t have to, though; you just have to prepare ahead of time at 7 Seventy before departing for the airport. Stick to these tips for a smoother trip next time you fly out of Houston:
1) Eat and sleep well before your flight. Trudging through security lines bleary-eyed will only add to your airport stress. Make sure you get plenty of sleep before you fly—which might mean going to bed a little bit early if you’re on a morning flight. Also eat a healthy, filling meal so you aren’t forced to grab something greasy (and expensive) in the terminal. Even better, pack some snacks to bring along—and fill up your water bottle or buy one past security.
2) Don’t underestimate the power of creature comforts. By toting along your neck pillow or ear plugs, you can turn your small airline seat into a perfect spot for napping. That is, if you prefer not to utilize the in-flight Wi-Fi, play games on your tablet, or read a good book during your travels.
3) Don’t overdress. Even if you have to head straight to a meeting or event from your flight, it’s well worth packing a change of clothes in your carry-on so that you can be comfortable throughout the flight. Wear breathable clothing, and maybe pack a pair of comfy socks to slip on once you’re airborne
