Choose the right seat

Are you an aisle seat or window seat kinda person? Pick wisely!  I'll pay for extra leg room, believe me - it's a game changer.

Wear comfortable clothing

A pillow!!! YES! It'll keep your neck from aching, becoming stiff, and sleep will hit different.  Trust me.

Pack earbuds, eye masks, and earplugs
