So, you’re not in first or business class, and won’t be served any complimentary bubbly on your overseas flight. However, there are ways to make your coach experience better. Here are some tips and advice to make your long-haul economy flight more comfortable. —Vita Daily
Choose a comfortable outfit: Wear comfortable clothing that is loose and breathable, and shoes that are easy to slip on and off. You may also want to bring a light jacket or sweater in case the plane gets chilly.
Pack a travel pillow and blanket: Bringing your own travel pillow and blanket can help you get some rest on the flight and make you more comfortable. Many airlines provide a pillow and blanket, but they may not be as comfortable as your own.
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water during the flight to stay hydrated, as the dry air inside the plane can cause dehydration. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can dehydrate you even more.
Move around: Sitting in the same position for a long time can be uncomfortable and even lead to health problems like blood clots. Get up and move around the cabin every couple of hours, or do some stretching exercises in your seat.
Bring entertainment: Pack your own entertainment such as books, magazines, or download movies and shows onto your phone or tablet. This will help pass the time and keep you distracted during the flight.
Pack snacks: Pack some healthy snacks like fruit, nuts, or energy bars to munch on during the flight. This will help you avoid relying on the plane’s less healthy food options, and keep you satiated.
Consider upgrading: If you have the budget, consider upgrading to premium economy or business class for more comfort and space. Many airlines offer upgrades for a fee or points, and it can make a big difference in your overall comfort during the flight.
