I usually feel awful after flying long distances. Some people travel well, and that’s not really me.

I usually can’t sleep much on a plane, even in business class, so I forcibly skip a whole night of sleep basically, and end up with a headache and full body aches.

Over the years I’ve picked up some techniques to minimize it, but clearly not enough (travel for me used to be “hellish” and now it’s much improved to just “awful”).

What do ya’ll do to minimize the negative impact when traveling?

This indicates a likely unconscious anxiety / fear towards plane traveling. If so your body would spend the duration of the trip in high stress mode (over engaging the sympathetic nervous system, which can be measured by lower than usual HRV) as it’s expecting danger. Relaxation techniques before & during travel (like meditation or repeating a mantra often) or hypnotherapy session to have new associations with plane travel are likely to significantly reduce the excessive impact of plane travel. Some find that taking prescription anxiety medication before getting on the plane help as well.
