CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA – APRIL 21: Airplanes sit on the tarmac at Charlotte Douglas International Airport during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on April 21, 2020 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The airport is the second largest hub for American Airlines, which will drastically reduce international flights compared to 2019. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
GettyIf you're like me sleeping on the plane is a must! I crash out before we even push back sometimes! If you're going to sleep on the plane make sure you sit in the right seat. No matter how much you travel, being able to get a good night’s sleep on a long-haul flight can be challenging. Some seasoned travelers pop sleeping pills or go into hibernation mode by covering themselves with blankets to try to snooze. The NY Post found a flight attendant who suggests something else that may help more.
According to Etihad Airways flight attendant Lieche Klaasens, the key is in your seat selection. She explains that opting for a window seat is the best for getting shut-eye on a plane. It gives you a wall to lean on and “minimizes disruptions” from other passengers. The engine hum helps your body relax as well.
In addition to the window seat, Klaasens says wearing the right clothing makes it easier to chill. She encourages passengers to wear breathable, comfy, loose clothing and to avoid wearing stiff jeans and jackets. And say yes to eye masks that are offered to help block out the light on the plane so you’re more likely to get some sleep.
Here’s Everywhere You Can Fly Directly To Using Frontier Airlines’ All You Can Fly Pass From North Carolina
You've probably heard about Frontier Airlines' all you can fly pass. For just $299 you can get unlimited flights from Sept 2, 2023 - Feb 29, 2024. Or you can purchase a monthly pass for $149 per month or an annual one for $1,999. But what does it include? And where can you actually fly on Frontier from North Carolina?
The pass includes the following according to Frontier's website:
Not bad right? But still, is that price worth it? You'd have to either already travel a lot or have the desire to start to travel often to get the most bang for your buck. Frontier, a budget airline, is already fairly cheap to fly with some flights just $39 or a similar price point. Of course, there are added fees for bags, refreshments, etc. But for some people, it's worth it. This deal though, isn't worth it if it won't get you to destinations you want or need to travel to. So where does Frontier go from North Carolina? The answer is 23 different destinations. Most are on the east coast, but a few are out west as well as two international destinations. Of course, you could also book a connecting flight to other places as well. But for this list, we are sticking with direct flights.
These flights leave from either Charlotte or Raleigh. Raleigh offers a greater selection of destinations. But even from Charlotte, it's not a terrible place to fly out of. The drive is less than 3 hours. And RDU is a smaller airport. When I have flown out of there security has been a breeze. The terminals are fairly small so you won't have long walks to your gate either. So if you're considering purchasing the Frontier Airlines' All You Can Fly Pass and live in North Carolina, check out all the destinations it could get you to.
