You\u2019re on your honeymoon and nothing kills the most loved up trip of your life than the \u201cwhen will we get there\u201d exhaustion of long plane flights.<\/p>\n

So here are five ways to make sure that stop over is not only honeymoon-worthy but also the romantic segue into your final destination.<\/p>\n

1. Book Transfers<\/h2>\n

Staying in town? Don\u2019t try and battle for a cab or train in a foreign country at 8.00 am after an eight hour flight. Talk to your hotel and see if they can pick you up. Coming through customs, picking up your bags and looking like you\u2019ve been hit by a truck can be easily turned around once you\u2019re in a sweet ride with iced water and free internet. Same story for your return trip!<\/p>\n

Segue to romance? Tick.<\/p>\n

2. Book a spa treatment<\/h2>\n

Chances are your night might have consisted of contortionist acts just to get yourself into a comfortable sleeping position in a plane seat (ouch). So think ahead and book a spa treatment for your and your beloved at your hotel.<\/p>\n

On our recent quick trip to\u00a0Kuala Lumpur<\/a>, Mr. Polka and I hit up\u00a0The Majestic Hotel\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0Day Spa for the Malaya Golden Chersonese treatment. Based on the story of Isabella Lucy Bird in British Malaya, the treatment is about rich adventures with fruits and exotically fragrant flowers.<\/p>\n

Our two and a half hour treatment started with a cocktail (non alcoholic version available!) foot scrub and head massage before we were escorted to our private treatment room for abana honey hair masques, papaya coconut body scrubs, baths and steams and my favourite part? A decadent forty-five minute massage that had me thinking \u201cPlane? What plane?\u201d<\/p>\n
