- Flying can be hard on the body, and sitting for long periods of time can cause back pain or sore legs.
- If you fly frequently or long distances, there are low-cost ways to make your trip more comfortable, from solid lumbar support to compression socks.
- On red-eye flights, sleep can easily escape me. But with some quality earplugs and a comfortable eye mask, I can catch some much-needed ZZZ's.
Every year, I resolve to fly less for work, but I still seem to spend half of my summer wondering exactly what kind of monster reclines halfway through meal service and what it is exactly that is making that kid cry so loudly.

However, I have discovered that a few choice products easily packed in my carry-on help make flights more comfortable and ensure I arrive at my destination ache-free and ready to enjoy my trip.
