Our Top 10 Airport Hacks When Going On Holiday
Airports are full of travellers, it’s no secret that things often go wrong when flying, but there are things you can do to make the journey as smooth as possible.
9. Invest in laptop stands so you can work in reclined seats
Pros : You can work on your laptop from a reclined position.
What you need : Laptop stand – VisionTech on Amazon – £12
Many people try to work when they’re at the airport or on an airplane, after all, a holiday away doesn’t always start the second you leave, and you may have things to do before you hit the beach. If you’re going to be travelling on an airplane and are one of those people who recline your seat on the plane (why), consider a laptop stand.
You can find a decent one that will give you a surface to prop your laptop on while you work from a reclined position. And as a thoughtful courtesy, make sure to ask the person behind you if they mind you reclining your seat before you lean back 😉
10. Switch to glasses from contacts
Pros : Your eyes won’t dry out mid-flight.
What you need : Glasses
Those of us with contact lenses have likely heard the stories about why you shouldn’t fly with them in. Often, flying with contacts dries them out, making your eyes irritated. When you’re 30,000 feet in the air, the atmospheric pressure, oxygen, and humidity are reduced, causing your eyes to dry out and wreaking havoc on your contacts.
Unless you want to keep reapplying contact-safe eye drops the entire time, do yourself a favour and switch to glasses. You will likely have to pack your contact lens solution in your suitcase, not your carry-on – your lenses, by contrast, can (and should) go with you in your carry-on.
