Have you ever "raced a deadline" on a plane?

The trend of being ready to work anytime, anywhere puts you in a proactive position with your work, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness. Many people have experienced working while traveling, especially on planes. So, what tips do they want you to know?

Choose the right seat

If you choose economy class, you should consider booking a seat near the emergency exit or by the window.

This is because seats near the emergency exit have no rows in front to obstruct you, while window seats provide ideal natural light for your work.

Prepare all necessary devices and accessories

Working in a less flexible space like on a flight, during flight time, requires us to be thoroughly prepared with the necessary equipment and items to bring. A dead phone or laptop battery, or noise from surrounding people and the aircraft engine, are situations you can easily encounter.

HyperWork suggests essential devices and accessories to help you meet deadlines and attend meetings even while traveling:

- Wireless keyboard, mouse, laptop, tablet: with long battery life to operate for several hours to tens of hours on the plane, connecting via Bluetooth or receiver.

- Laptop stand, tablet stand, phone stand: on a plane, space is inherently cramped, making it even harder to arrange yourself in a correct posture and create comfort during many hours of flight. Therefore, stands will be useful tools to elevate your devices, both for heat dissipation and to help reduce stress and fatigue for your neck, shoulders, back, and eyes.

- Noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones: models with comfortable, snug earcups, active noise cancellation, accurate voice pickup and transmission, and impressive battery life to avoid interruptions while working.

Subscribe to the airline's Wi-Fi package

If your work requires an Internet connection, you can subscribe to an in-flight Wi-Fi service beforehand. These Wi-Fi packages will allow you to send messages, look up information, interact on social media, etc. However, you will need to check the Wi-Fi package details (access time, access capability), which airlines offer it, and which flight routes it applies to.
