How To Feel Like You’re In First Class

comfort_aids_for_coach_airline_tr_2Flying economy isn’t always your most relaxing option, but it is the most economical. Luckily, you can save money by buying economy seats and still have the luxuries of first class with our tips below.

If you’re planning a trip that’s leaving from or arriving to any D.C. area airport, choose Affinity Airport Sedan for all of your ground transportation needs. Our courteous, professional drivers can pick you up and get you to your destination on time and hassle free. Need a ride? Just call Affinity!

Plan ahead

Part of flying first class is getting a good seat. But in economy, you still get to decide where you sit, so make your seat a good one. Check-in online as early as you can to pick your ideal spot. Generally, window seats far from lavatories will be your best bet. Also, sit as close to the front of the plane as you can. Seeing fewer heads in front of you will make the flight feel more luxurious, and you’ll have the added bonus of de-planning first.

Also, limit your personal carry-on item to a small bag that can easily fit under your seat. This gives you plenty of legroom. And make sure all of your plane essentials, like headphones and books are in a small pouch that you can stick in your seatback pocket for easy access.

Bring your own amenities

First class passengers often receive special pamper kits to make long trips more comfortable. But you can make your own. Include lotions, lip balms, aromatherapy oils, an eye mask, your toothbrush, and any other refreshing treats you’ll need in air. It’s also a good idea to bring noise cancelling headphones to drown out plane sounds.

And for longer flights, get some sleep. Pack a soft shawl, a pillow, and a mild sleep aid, and don’t forget to pull out your eye mask to feel refreshed when you land.

With these tips, you can have a relaxing ride, even in economy. And for a lift to or from the airport, just call Affinity!

Do Your Homework

In airplaneIf you’re planning a trip, the best thing you can do is research. The beauty of the Internet age is that there’s a wealth of information right before your fingertips. Whether you’re looking for hotels, restaurants, or things to do, you can learn from other travelers’ experiences online.

If your vacation plans bring you to the D.C. area, contact Affinity Airport Sedan, Inc. We’ll promptly pick you up from the airport and give you a ride to your destination. You have enough trip planning to worry about. Leave the driving to us.

Study reviews from travelers

To get the most out of your trip, study other travelers’ reviews. Web sites like TripAdvisor, Oyster.com, TravelPost, and Yelp offer thousands, if not millions, of customer reviews. A disturbing trend may become apparent when several reviews in a row complain of unsanitary hotel conditions. Similarly, several rave reviews for a new restaurant could mean it’s worth checking out.

While it’s handy to have so many reviews on hand, it’s important to remain objective. Reviewers all have different tastes and expectations. It’s important to determine if a reviewer is coming from your same frame of mind. Plus, any establishment can have a major slip-up now and then. Perhaps a negative review was based on a one-time fluke instead of a sub-par operation. Also be sure to check out the dates of the reviewer’s posts. An establishment may have closed, moved, or be under new management since the review was written.

Read travel forums

Many travelers have come to rely on travel forums to guide their travel experiences. Forums like those run by Lonely Planet, Chowhound, and Frommers all share valuable destination advice. Plus, reading threads about your destination city is a great way to uncover information wouldn’t have otherwise considered.

If your travel research brings you to the Maryland or D.C. areas, call Affinity Airport Sedan, Inc.  Our exclusive, professional shuttle service can pick you up from the airport and get you to your destination. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
