What’s the best drink you can take on a plane?
On a flight, I’ll order diet soda or some other drink. I remember back in the old days—I grew up in the 70s and 80s—they’d have a bar, like the whole bar, in my parents’ generation.
What is your worst travel experience?
As we all know it’s very difficult to travel in airports, because flights can change at any time. My wife [actress Christine Taylor] She had a nightmare once when she tried to return from Hawaii, as the flight was constantly being canceled. She was trying to reach New York. She ended up rooming with a woman who was from St Louis after they became friends.
What is your favorite flight activity?
I will bring a book, or a film, but I usually fall asleep within 30 minutes of the book, or movie. I want to have the security of knowing that I have two books, four movies, three shows that I could watch…and I never watch any of it.
Best jet lag tip?
A cold plunge is the tip I’ve heard works. When you arrive somewhere, I like to take an ice-cold dip. When it comes to jet lag, I pretend that it doesn’t even exist. I try to push through.
