ATD HQ staff tips for long-haul flights

We in the office like to think of us as well travelled individuals.  We have spent many an hours on flights and over the years have lean’t a few things or two.  Here are a few of the suggested tips – sorry most involve alcohol!

  • Emergency seats are allocated on a 1st come 1st served basis.  Check in early and you might get lucky – Mark Howlett
  • Always ask about the possibility of an upgrade.  If you don’t ask…. you won’t get.
  • Save up those airmiles, from all those trips you’ve taken or for using a particular Credit Card – and use for upgrading – Mark Hannaford
  • Red wine with dinner, thick comfy socks and make sure you go to the toilet before the person next to you passes out for the next 15 hours – Claire
  • A couple of Bloody Mary’s and ff the entertainment system isn’t all that make sure you download some films on your laptop, i-phone or some other gadget – Steve
  • Stock up on bottles of water once you’re through security to hydrate.  Moisturiser and lip balm -  Luci
  • If you’re travelling with children pick flights with seat back TV’s.  For the parents and G&T and wine with dinner - Karen
  • A couple of Bloody Mary’s with dinner, go to the loo, pop in your ear plus and you sleep right through – Julie
