your seat. Perform the same stretch on the opposite side. Shrug your shoulders as high as you can, and then as low as you can. Coordinate this with your breath for greater relaxation. Perform this stretching routine as many times as you wish, as long as it does not disturb other passengers. Additionally, meditation is a great way to aid relaxation and can even guide you into a restful nap. Disembarking From Your Plane Prior to landing, most airlines will provide you with the necessary immigration forms. It will ask for the flight information and any other countries you have recently visited. Prepare to go through customs before being released to your American city of choice. Throw away any food items you may still be holding from your home country -- customs does not allow food items to enter the country. You Can Survive Your Flight Surviving your flight is dependent on remaining relaxed and comfortable. Prepare by dressing in your most comfortable clothes and regularly taking breaks to walk around and stretch. Do not let the prospect of a long flight deter you from visiting such an exciting and beautiful country. After you step off the plane, get through customs and start enjoying your vacation -- the flight will fade into your memory.
