"Hi everyone. I'm Russ Handler and I love to travel. I'm sure you do as well. You know, one of the toughest things about traveling on an aircraft is being uncomfortable. Sometimes you could simply mask the symptoms by bringing a book or by renting a movie in the aircraft. That's always a good suggestion; it sort of keeps your mind off of things. But some other ways to be very comfortable on a plane begins with the clothing that you choose. Wear very comfortable shoes, even sneakers are the best thing. Doesn't matter where you're going to end up. You can always change your shoes. Comfortable pants and a comfortable shirt are a must while traveling. You don't want to be too cool and you don't want to be too hot, but you do want to be comfortable. I also suggest that many people like those blow-up pillows that go around their neck. It holds your neck up right, makes sure that you don't end up at your destination without any pain, but also the most important thing that you can do for yourself is make sure that you're dressed appropriately in combination with the place you are leaving and the place that you are about to land. And, again, my final tip on how to have a comfortable trip and be as comfortable as possible, find something to keep your mind off it. A movie or a good book always work great. I'm Russ Handler, and that's how it's done."
