6 In-Flight Luxuries That Will Make You Look Forward To Your Next International Flight
Over the last few years, travelling has become an integral part of our lives. Either we are busy planning our trips or pinning travel pictures to satisfy our wanderlust. Our social timelines are nothing short of a travelogue and we are extremely proud of this achievement. While there are others making New Year resolutions to get fit and wealthy, the traveller in us only wishes for adventures galore! Our dream, if you want to know, is to explore every country, every city possible and if there is something other than travelling that excites us, it¡¯s the pure joy and comfort of an international flight. Travelling has its perks and one of them, is sitting in the lap of comfort mid-air (or that¡¯s how we see it). Here¡¯s a list of everything that makes our joy ride just perfect.
1. Duty-free shopping at the airport and in-flight
Who wouldn¡¯t love this? Every time I have an international flight to catch, I don¡¯t mind reaching the airport a few hours early to browse through the duty-free shops. Great discounts at your favourite stores make the trip just a lot more fun. After all, who would mind a great deal at the jacket you've been eyeing forever!
2. WiFi availability in-flight
We all are addicted to social media and travelling without any check-ins or live updates on social media isn¡¯t any fun. What¡¯s the point of travelling if we can¡¯t even make our friends jealous (just kidding). Staying off social media during the long haul is a task that us millennials definitely can't achieve. Keeping in mind our constant need for the digital world, international airlines offer WiFi to travellers. Even our favourite celebs can't resist staying away from social media and posting about their in-flight fun!
3. Entertainment to keep you occupied
Spending hours seated in one place on an airplane can be extremely taxing and that¡¯s why international flights more than make-up for this tedious ride with a variety of in-flight entertainment. For instance, Singapore Airlines offers more than 1000 entertainment options from movies, television programmes, music and games. You can watch all this on a 10.6 inch wide LCD screen. If you've missed a recent film or an episode of your favourite TV show, on-board an international flight would be the perfect time to catch up on it.
4. Good food
International flights keep a variety of options to treat their travellers. Many-a-times they curate food according to the specifications mentioned by the traveller (for people with allergy etc.). Airlines like Cathy Pacific have ever changing menus that are created keeping in mind the seasons.
5. An upgrade to First Class
Travelling in first class is the ultimate luxury travelling experience one can imagine and it doesn¡¯t take much to get that upgrade. Companies like Malaysia Airlines offers you a chance to upgrade your own Economy Class ticket at a self-determined price. All you need to do is make an offer and wait for it to be accepted! Imagine bumping into your favourite celebs in First Class.
6. More legroom!
This one benefit makes us favour international flights than domestic flights. Imagine being cramped up in a seat for 14 long hours! Thankfully international airlines like Emirates understand us and have comfortable seats with more legroom.
Excited enough? Just thinking about luxury of travelling international is making me plan my next trip. If you too are feeling major pangs of wanderlust, we suggest you head straight to Cleartrip to book the best of luxury travel at affordable prices.
