How To Stay Fabulous When You Fly Coast To Coast

Wear comfortable but cute clothing for your trip. Stay away from linen, which wrinkles easily, and favor low-maintenance, stylish knits and jeans. Dress in layers to adjust to temperature fluctuations.

Wear your favorite pair of open-toe shoes or sandals. Not only are they easier to pop on and off at security, but once you’re through you can indulge in a pedicure.

Bring a water bottle with a built-in filter to fill up at a drinking fountain after going through security. It saves money and keeps you hydrated and healthy.

Before your flight, relax and enjoy some “you time.” Today’s terminals aren’t a black hole of boredom — take advantage of all the modern amenities.

Once on board, make yourself at home, but be considerate of your seatmates — remember that in close quarters, every smell is magnified, every sound amplified, and every movement intensified.

Fight stress and stiffness by doing some basic yoga stretches from your seat. Take a few deep breaths and circle your neck slowly in one direction, then the other. Flex your feet by pointing your toes upward and then away from your body.

Before you land, take time to freshen up. Wash your face with disposable cloths, or use a refreshing spritzer. Add concealer under your eyes and a little cream blush to your cheeks for a rosy glow.

Let Hollywood know you’re ready for your close-up.
