Top Tips for Coach Travel

First time travelling by coach? Need some tips for a smooth coach ride? In this blog, we will discuss the top three tips we recommend when travelling by coach. Making the right choices can drastically improve your travel experience, and knowing some simple yet effective steps before travelling on a coach is sure to make your journey 100% better! Read on to learn more about coach travel hacks!

Choose the right seat for you
•    It’s important to carefully consider which seat you book on a coach. Here are some factors to consider: If you tend to experience motion sickness, it’s recommended to choose a seat closer to the front of the coach – this is because there is more motion towards the back, which can trigger nausea. 

•    Don’t be afraid of the aisle seat! If you're likely to need the toilet during the journey, pick an aisle seat! Not only does this benefit you, but it also makes the people seated next to you more comfortable. Furthermore, the aisle seat offers more legroom, so although we all love the window seat, the aisle seat has many benefits! 

Pack smarter, not harder
•    There’s nothing worse than realising you’ve under-packed for a trip or packed far too much. Here are some tips to help prevent this: Only pack things you’re sure you will use – this depends on your trip’s destination. For example, if you're going on a city trip, you may need a digital camera or sunscreen; if you're heading to the beach, don’t forget a spare swimsuit.

•    To guarantee that you don’t forget anything, create a checklist of things to pack and pack the day before your trip! This will make everything much easier.

Be as comfy as possible
•    Whether it’s a long or short trip, being as comfortable as possible is important! You know yourself best, which means you know what will make your journey more enjoyable. There are many things you can do to make your journey smoother. For example, if you prefer a quieter journey or are likely to fall asleep, noise-cancelling headphones, earplugs, and sleep masks will be your best friends! 

•    We also recommend travel shawls because they act as the perfect mini-blanket to either wrap around your shoulders or fold and use as a pillow. It’s perfect!

Safe travels!
In conclusion, coach travel is a great option, and there are many steps you can take to improve your journey and make it even more enjoyable! Enjoy a hassle-free trip with our top tips, and safe travels!
