Travel amplifies sensory overload, time pressure, and admin juggling. Arm yourself with a survival kit blending practical tools and Chaos automations tailored to UK rail and air travel.
Prep Before Departure
Automate travel admin
Forward booking confirmations to Chaos. The assistant extracts gate info, platform alerts, and check-in deadlines, then schedules reminders based on National Rail and UK Civil Aviation timetables.[1]
Curate sensory kits
Pack noise-cancelling headphones, compression socks, and a scented rollerball. Store them in a clear pouch with a tactile object to reduce anxiety. For more sensory ideas, revisit our sensory-friendly workday template.
Navigate Stations and Airports
Use slow lanes intentionally
Request Sunflower Lanyards at UK airports for discreet assistance. The Hidden Disabilities scheme helps staff provide quieter routes.[2]
Body double via audio
Play a recorded message from future-you or a friend to anchor the routine: “We’re heading to Platform 4; you’ve got this.” Chaos can trigger the audio as you approach the station.
Recover After Arrival
Schedule decompression
Block 30 minutes of quiet time post-trip. Let Chaos remind you to hydrate, stretch, and journal quick reflections so the experience informs future travel.
Travel will always include surprises, but a thoughtful kit plus context-aware support keeps stress from stealing the adventure.
