Wheely is Not Speedy
Wheeled luggage is generally seen as a convenience, but is, in fact, a constraint, as once a heavy and large suitcase is with you, you are bound to 'wheel' it around everywhere, cutting down your travel options.
Be a Light Packer
Light packing relaxes you and facilitates spontaneous travel, a minimalistic packing done in a backpack or a shoulder bag works best.

Too much baggage leads to a baggage-heavy mindset.

Flight Effects on Passengers
While we are on a flight, there are plenty of changes that we can experience:
- Change in brain chemistry and memory due to the deficiency in oxygen.
- Cognitive deficits in people who are already ill.
- Increased tiredness and more yawning during the flight.
- Deterioration in vision, dryness of skin, change in taste of food due to a reduction in the sensitivity of our taste buds and a decrease in the sense of smell.
- Change in air-pressure makes passengers generally uncomfortable with the sitting.
The Anxious Flight Passenger
Mood swings, along with general anxiety or nervousness are common among flight passengers.
- Less oxygen can increase the effects of alcohol and the overall anxiety. These factors contribute to emotional changes, which can make people less friendly, more stressed out and lethargic.
- People are also prone to severe mood swings, like having extreme emotional reactions to movie scenes which would otherwise appear normal to them.
