Flying can be really tough on your skin, especially when you're on a long haul with dry cabin air. From my experience, the key to maintaining a fresh face while flying is layering moisturizing products that both hydrate and protect your skin barrier. For example, I always start by sanitizing my space to create a clean environment and then use compression socks to aid circulation and reduce swelling. I apply multiple skincare products in layers—a hydrating essence followed by a centella moisturizer helps soothe irritated skin, especially if it feels dry or painful like mine has during flights. To lock in moisture, I use collagen creams or gels which act like a protective seal against the harsh, dry airplane air. One of my must-haves is a humidifying spray to keep breathing comfortable and prevent throat discomfort. A little tip: wearing a hood or a scarf can help maintain warmth and block out some of the dry air, improving sleep quality on board. Regarding Air Canada's food, honestly, it leaves a lot to be desired. It's quite disappointing, especially considering the long hours of travel when good nutrition counts the most. Their meal options could definitely benefit from improvement in flavor and variety. If they stepped up their food game, it would enhance the overall flight experience significantly. In summary, focusing on an effective skincare regimen and preparing for in-flight challenges can make flying more comfortable. And hopefully, airlines like Air Canada will soon recognize the importance of better meals for passengers' wellbeing.
