Check-in online as early as possible to swap your seats (or to confirm the good ones you snagged when you bought your ticket). Window seats away from toilets and galleys should be your objective, preferably as close to the front of the plane as possible: The fewer heads you can see ahead of you, the more VIP you'll feel. But beware of bulkheads as they often cater to parents and infants; diaper bags and baby bits take up lots of space and will creep into your space without fail. If you are capable of handling the requirements, an emergency row seats are comfortable thanks to the extended legroom. But the two aisles are prime time.
Keep Calm and Carry On
Keep your carry-on to a minimum in a chic tote that can fit under the seat in front of you while leaving plenty of room to stretch out. Bags which take up too much under-seat space and crowd your feet should go up into the overhead locker without fail. It's best to have your essentials (like your book, headphones, iPod, etc.) handy in a light-weight pochette which you can take out and keep with you while your carry-on is stowed up and out of the way.
Amenity Kits
Business and First Class passengers are treated to amenity kits filled with all sorts of goodies to make longer flights more comfortable. Just create your own. Put travel sized versions of your favourite toner, moisturiser, hand cream, and lip balm into a bag. A tiny vial (or two) of aromatherapy oil is another must have: A little sniff can be comforting if not downright indispensable if the plane has some nasty turbulence. Bring along a few delicious snacks to enjoy for free. A moist towelette for freshening up, dental floss, a toothbrush and toothpaste can also keep you refreshed on longer flights.
Headphones Help
Privacy is the traveler's greatest luxury and something that's sorely missing from the back of the plane. Noise-cancelling headphones can help you feel like you're in your own cocooned space, even if the stranger sitting next to you is just an inch away. And whether you're actually listening to anything or not, headphones of any kind will send a message to the chatty grandma on your other side.
First-Class Nap
On longer flights, the difference between the refreshed-looking passengers that emerge from the front cabins and the bleary-eyed masses that stagger out of the back of the plane is sleep. Help induce sleep in economy with a travel pillow, a comfortable shawl and eye mask. Also look for free white noise apps to download to your phone, which can block out the noise while flying. Although comfort isn't guaranteed, even an awkward slumber will make the flight go a lot quicker and you'll feel less fatigued when you land.
