Travelling is quite uncomfortable and especially if you are about to begin a long plane or car journeys where you have to sit for many hours in the same place. I don’t mention trains or boats here because thankfully on them you can walk about quite a bit more.

So if you are taking a trip by plane or by car think of something that you have in your wardrobe that is the most comfortable for you to wear. It has to be loose fitting, mustn’t have any zips or buckles that dig into your skin, and so that you stay looking the best you can at the end of the trip, it should be of a material that doesn’t crease that much like viscose.

If it’s not very cold weather, try to avoid wearing tights as on a plane your feet and legs swell a little and tights will only make them feel even more uncomfortable.

Carry in your bag cool wipes, eye drops, a spray mist of water for your face and a moisturising cream for your hands and face, as planes dehydrate you quite a lot. All these items are allowed on board even with the strict regulations that apply these days.
