view from plane

These are some of the tips I have come up with when I fly longhall:

  • for longhall flights prebook seats away from toilet doors - either on isle or window
  • check-in as early as possible
  • pack one set wax earplugs
  • one set sleeping pills
  • wear lightweight trousers - no jeans as its hard to sleep in them
  • take one hardcover notebook - I use this if I get someone whos arms go over the armrest onto my side - you can end up with someone elbowing you in the ribs the entire flight - I place the book on my side of the seat between myself and armrest as a guard from their elbow
  • remove any magazines in front of you - this can give you another 1cm+ of leg space
