The Ultimate Guide to Sleeping Like Royalty in the Skies – Even on Long-Haul Flights

As a chronic jet-setter and founder of Royal Expression Travels, I know firsthand that luxury in travel is about those meticulously crafted details that transform journeys from standard to sublime. For those who crave true rest in the skies, my top recommendation is a private jet—it’s where relaxation is redefined. Imagine stretching out fully, with your favorite snacks, curated meals, and amenities ready before takeoff. With no queues, no check-in hassles, and a private driver to whisk you directly to the aircraft, there’s no heightened pre-flight anxiety, only ease from the very start.

Yet, if you’re seeking comfort in first or business class, here are my best-kept secrets for achieving quality sleep en route, perfect for any discerning traveler:

Three Unexpected Tips for Quality Sleep in the Sky:
Customized Sleep Menu with Melatonin-Rich Ingredients: Instead of standard in-flight meals, I recommend a menu specifically crafted for rest. At Royal Expression Travels, we curate options enhanced with melatonin-rich foods—think almonds, cherries, and a soothing herbal tea. These not only help you unwind but also prepare your body for rest.
Dim-to-Your-Preference Lighting: It’s all about ambiance. For our private jet clients, we arrange for adjustable lighting, allowing you to dim to the perfect glow when it’s time to rest. If flying commercially, opt for sleep masks with blackout features and a Luna sleep mask for extra comfort and luxury.
Your Own Mini Sanctuary: Create a cocoon of comfort with familiar scents and textures. Our clients receive an exclusive care kit featuring the Luna sleep mask, a lavender-scented pillow spray, and noise-canceling headphones. Bring a silk travel pillowcase and eye mask for the ultimate luxurious touch to make even first-class feel like home.
