(Inside: Look, if you’re planning a trip to Disney’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and you’re not getting there cross-road, then you’ve got a plane trip ahead of you. Keep it fun and awesome with these 10 Hacks to Make Your Flight to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Awesome.)

There is no doubt that the fastest way from one place to another is to fly.

When you consider that you can get from one side of the country to the other in about three hours – rather than approximately three days by car – there is no contest when it comes to the speed of airline travel.

But to you and your family, those three hours (or longer, depending on the flight) can feel like torture. Airline seating is not known for being roomy or comfortable, and sitting in one place for so long is hard for everyone, especially kids.

Look, if you're planning a trip to Disney's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and you're not getting there cross-road, then you've got a plane trip ahead of you.

10 Hacks to Make Your Flight to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Awesome

Super Clever Window Shelf

 spAIRTray Travel Shelf for 33 Percent More Usable Space on Most Commercial Airline Window Seats

 One of the most annoying things about airline travel is the lack of space around you, especially if you fly coach.

You have your little seat and your little seat tray in front of you, and that’s about it. And that’s fine when you are traveling alone and everything is peaceful and quiet.

But if you’re traveling with kids, sometimes you just need a few more options for places you can put stuff.

Especially stuff you might want to keep out of reach of little hands for whatever reason.

This spAIR Travel Shelf is simply ingenious.

It easily attaches to pretty much any airplane window, so if you score the window seat, you can easily add this handy shelf which offers you yet another option of where to put things.

It’s far enough out of reach to make a great option for “toy time-outs”.

It’s a great place to keep your “adult beverage” so your kids don’t accidentally spill it – or drink it. And you’ll love having a place to set stuff without having to have that big tray down in front of your lap.

Maybe someday airlines will simply build little shelves into the windows for everyone flying. Until then, with this cool window shelf, you can just take your own along with you.

Relaxing Leg Rest for Long Flights

 Foot Rest Airplane Travel Footrests Airlines Long Flight Reversible Portable Design (2. Brown Stripe)

Even though airline travel is the fastest way to get from one place to another, a long flight can still be pretty tough on the body.

Being stuck on a long flight with your kids can be stressful enough – especially when your kids are all excited about heading to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

But even when they are well-behaved (perhaps after you’ve threatened to turn them over to the Batuu bounty hunter) it is very difficult to just kick back, put your feet up, and relax for a while.

This amazing hanging footrest is a total game changer when it comes to airline-friendly vacation items, though!

It hangs from your tray table and provides you with this wonderful little hammock to put your feet or legs in, lifting them up off the floor in the most delightful way.

Close your eyes, lean your seat back just a little, and suddenly, you are no longer on a crowded airplane flying through the clouds.

Instead, you are relaxing in your favorite recliner, listening to your favorite song while random CGI aliens perform for your entertainment.

Or, maybe not quite all that. You’ll probably still know you’re on a crowded flight through the clouds. But your legs and feet will still feel a lot better when you reach you get to Disney-Star-Wars-Land.

Perfect Pet Carrier For Furry Family

 Gorilla Grip Original Pet Purse Carrier Bag for Dogs or Cats, Free Bonus Travel Bowl, Locking Safety Zippers, Airline Approved, Up to 15lbs, Sherpa Insert, Perfect for Airplane, Train, and Car Travel

 If you and your family can’t imagine leaving your furry family member behind when you head to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you will love this pet carrier.

It’s the perfect size for your cat or small dog (up to 15 lbs) and will keep your furry friend warm, safe, and comfy all through the flight.

There’s a cool little bowl so you can give your friend something to eat or drink and this airline-approved bag fits right under your seat during the flight.

After all, when you are off on intergalactic adventures, it’s just not right to leave some of your family behind. Not right.

Neck Hugging Adjustable Travel Pillow

 BCOZZY Extra Large Chin Supporting Travel Pillow – Supports the Head, Neck and Chin in Maximum Comfort in Any Sitting Position. A Patented Product. XL Adult Size, BLACK

 When you are on a long flight, sometimes you really wish you could just get a little sleep.

But even if the Force is completely on your side, causing your children to doze off and your spouse to get wrapped up in whatever in-flight movie they are showing – dozing off can be tricky.

First, you have to catch the flight attendant’s eye to request a pillow.

And even if you obtain a pillow and carefully angle your head in the best possible way, invariably your head will tip forward at some point in your nap.

If you’re lucky, it will wake you.

If you’re less lucky, you may sleep like that for a while, until you wake up with a stiff neck and your kids giggling about how silly you looked.

That’s why I love this pillow.

It hugs your neck and props up your chin so there is no way for your head to tip forward.

Your neck can relax and you can doze off in comfort, knowing that you look perfectly not-silly while doing so.

Combine this awesome pillow with that cool hanging footrest and you might just be so comfortable, you won’t want the flight to end. Which would be a shame because you really don’t want to miss out on a round of Bantha milk.

Colorful Little Bottles of Goodness

 Leakproof FDA Silicone Travel Bottles Set Portable Squeezable and Refillable Bottle Container for Shampoo, Conditioner, Lotion, Toiletries, TSA Approved Airline Carry-On (3 oz)

 Let’s not mince words here – packing for a flight can be kind of a pain.

With all the security in place, just packing your toiletries can induce stress, as you wonder what you will and will not be allowed to take, or how well your products will make it through the flight without leaking out all over your other belongings.

There are pretty cool little airline-approved toiletry kits you can buy, and if you aren’t picky about your products, that is a great option.

But if you just can’t imagine visiting the Planet Batuu without your favorite hypo-allergenic lotion or super-ultra-extra-organic shampoo, those little toiletry kits just won’t do.

That’s why I call these awesome silicone travel bottles “colorful little bottles of goodness.

They are leakproof, airline-approved, and the perfect way for you to take all your favorite products along. But wait, there’s more! (OMG, I just said that…)

I love the way you can turn the little dial so you can label the contents of your bottle.

That’s a much more dependable option than trying to remember, “the shampoo is in the pink bottle”.

And these cool little bottles are designed to hang out, literally, in the shower with you, putting them in handy reach when you need them most.

There. One less packing challenge to worry about. You can thank me later.
