#TravelThursday - Tricks for Improving Your Flight Experience

P: (631) 587-8500

Whether you’re venturing off for business or pleasure, flying can be a draining event. To make the most out of your next trip, we have some tricks for improving your overall flight experience - you’re welcome.

Take advantage of smartphone apps - Apps like Hopper helps do your flight shopping for you! Hopper works to find the absolute best deals and flights and offers tips and predictions on which way the price is going to move. If they predict prices will drop, they’ll notify you when the flight reaches its lowest point. Travelers have reported saving up to 40% on their flights and cheaper flights = better overall experience.

You don’t need to toss that water bottle - No one should travel un-hydrated! So long as your bottle is empty before going through security, you can still bring it with you. This way you can refill it at a water fountain or ask your flight attendant to top it off in flight.

Invest in an eyemask - Eyemasks work wonders and many people forget to bring them (or buy them). The biggest obstruction to sleeping well, other than sitting in an upright position the whole time, are noise and light. Eyemasks help improve the quality of your sleep by checking ‘light’ off the can’t sleep checklist.

Try to get a full row with a friend - Try to purchase both the window and aisle seat in a row with a friend. With some luck, and if the flight’s not too full, no one will choose the middle seat. Now you’ll have all the extra space for yourselves! Should this not be the case, you could always ask the person in the middle to switch with you - they probably won’t mind.

No matter where your travel plans take you and what new apps can make it easier, Dynasty Limousine will be there to handle your transportation needs. We are available for pickups and drop offs at all of the major New York Airports including, JFK, La Guardia, Mac Arthur Airport and for most private airports including Farmingdale Executive Airport. Dynasty Limousines has competitive rates for Airport and Ground Transportation in the New York area. Call and request a quote today (631) 587-8500!

HOW TO GET YOUR MAN INVOLVED IN PLANNING YOUR WEDDING

Planning a wedding by yourself isn't easy and your man might not have as much interest in planning as you do. But there are some things your fiancé is interested in and you should definitely get him involved. Brides Magazine has come across a few things about the wedding that men are actually into.

Planning the journey of the honeymoon is an exciting time and guys dream about surprising their bride with the perfect destination. Plan together and see what he is interested in. You’ll be surprised at how much he will enjoy looking up vacations and planning activities.

Another thing men are concerned about is the cake. On your wedding day, your husband-to-be is going to have a piece of the cake so why not have it made to his liking. Take him to the bakery for wedding cake sampling and you two will have a great time tasting an assortment of cakes.

Music is a big feature of the wedding. Discuss what you would prefer; a band or a DJ. Your fiancé will have some type of music preference. Have him create a playlist of what he wants to listen to, this way the both of you can enjoy the music you love on your big day. 

Plan your wedding cars together! Have him choose what type of limousines or getaway car he would like at the wedding. He can choose from different types of styles and colors. Give your fiancé a head start on reserving wedding cars and send him the link to Dynasty Limousine!

Then there’s the first kiss. Your fiancé is probably planning the best first kiss he can give you when you two finally tie the knot. Help relieve the tension he is feeling by talking about how he sees your first kiss and then practice it!

WHAT TO DO AFTER YOU'RE ENGAGED

 P: (631) 587-8500

The holidays are a big time of year for engagements! If you are newly engaged, planning on being engaged soon, or about to pop the question to your significant other, Glamour has great advice on what to do after you get the ring.

1. Tell everyone! Call your relatives and share the news with friends and family. No one wants to be         the last to know, so set aside some time and with the help of your mom, sister, aunt and anyone else       spread the word!

2. Get your ring sized right away so you can show off how perfect it is. It usually takes up to a few           hours, sometimes even a few days but you want it to look just right and it is worth the effort.

3. Have your ring insured. If you lose your ring you might not get the sentimental value back, you             could gain a little comfort by having some protection on it. Call the insurance broker to add your ring     to your renter’s insurance. If you don’t have renter’s insurance, it is inexpensive to buy.

4. Everyone is going to ask you what the wedding date is, so you and your fiancé should set a ballpark     date. This will help people plan around you and feel as if they are in the loop. It can also give you         and your fiancé a step in the right direction to plan the wedding.

5. Save some time for just you and your fiancé. Make it a point to leave any wedding plans out of it so       you can enjoy each other's company and relax. Planning a wedding could be a bit hectic so indulge       in a couple’s massage or set aside time to just hang out.

6. Be organized. Use an app, calendar or binder to manage all your wedding plans. Create a timeline of     tasks and events that need to be done by a certain time. It is also a good idea to create a savings               account specifically for your wedding. The two of you can put a set amount of money to save up for     the wedding so you won’t end up in massive debt after the festivities.

Change Your New Year's Resolutions

Long Island's Premiere Limousine Service

 P: (631) 587-8500

Almost everyone has made a New Year’s resolution but left if fail after the first month. Most have made the resolution to lose weight. CNN Health reports losing weight is not the ideal resolution to make. Instead make healthy lifestyle alternatives and losing weight will become a benefit to your New Year’s resolutions.

Go outside and get some fresh air. Admiring nature or being active outdoors can help clear your mind and relieve any stress you might have. Even parking your car farther away from the door can help you get that extra couple minutes of peace.

Spend some time away from technology. Instead of checking social media or surfing the web, go outside and you will find little time to distract yourself from the screen. CNN Health says children who spend too much time in front of screens have a greater chance of obesity. Don’t let the screen affect your child or even you.

Getting more sleep will dramatically change your life. It relieves you of stress, burns fat and boosts your immune system, mood and peace of mind. Slowly add more and more time to your sleep schedule and soon enough you’ll wake up rested and ready for the day.

Don’t eliminate all unhealthy foods. Instead promise yourself to add more healthy foods to your diet. Remember to eat more vegetables or protein filled snacks and soon enough you’ll forget all about the unhealthy snacks.

Stop multitasking. Whether it be with work tasks or at home, multitasking can confuse you and you could lose your peace of mind you are working hard for. Instead of eating and watching TV, eat at the table without distractions.

Take the time to breathe deeply. Shallow breaths can lead to anxiety. Whenever you feel a stress coming on count your breaths for a couple minutes to correct your breathing and clear any stress.

Try something new and healthy whether it is an exercise class or a healthy cooking class. Reinvent yourself with your new activities and interests.

Make small steps to bettering yourself. Substitute unhealthy snacks for healthy ones. Instead of watching TV, read a book or do yoga for 15 minutes. These little changes can help your lifestyle.
