🌞 How to Bring Joy to Your Journey #3 Wherever in the world your adventure takes you, it’s not just the destination that matters. The journey is equally important. It’s about arriving feeling cool, calm, collected and comfortable. Follow the tips we share in this series of posts for an effortlessly smooth and serene journey, whether your trip is business or pleasure. 3️⃣ BE MINDFUL OF YOUR TIME It’s a good idea to consciously think about how you want to spend your travel time. Rather than mindlessly scrolling your phone or halfheartedly watching a film, optimise it with some self-care. Download a mindfulness meditation, play some soothing music, or listen to an audiobook or inspiring podcast to reflect and recharge. Movement is important too, so try some gentle stretches in your seat or walking in the aisle when possible. Achieving deep sleep on flights is notoriously difficult. But if you’re flying at night, try a simplified bedtime routine, such as changing into pyjamas or comfortable clothes that are conducive to rest (or even just brushing your teeth). This will signal to your body that it’s time to wind down. Before your trip, try to get early nights so sleep deprivation doesn’t hit you as hard. One of the most frustrating parts of the journey can be jetlag as circadian rhythms can be thrown off when travelling across continents, but there are ways to combat it. Setting your watch to your destination’s time zone when boarding, and trying to sleep and eat in sync with that, can help you adjust. There are also lots of useful jetlag apps, which provide bespoke timings and tips. How do you make the most of your time while travelling? #TravelTips #Kempinski #LuxuryHospitality

Adjusting to the destination timezone is key and it helps to start slowly shifting sleeping/waking/eating/activity times by an hour a day a few days before departure. I find this helps bridge the gap between the two timezones a little easier. Also, I drink a lot of water when flying. I fill my water bottle before boarding (or buy one) instead of relying on the small cups available onboard. Drinking helps minimise some of the effects of dehydration obviously, but also it forces me to get up and move on a regular basis.

I couldn't agree more with Kempinski Hotels on the importance of making the journey just as memorable as the destination. How do you ensure your travel time is optimized for self-care and relaxation, especially during long flights?
