How to endure a 10 more hours economy flight comfortably
A 10 more hours economy class flight is really painful. Every time I take an intercontinental flight, I have to mentally prepare myself.I took over 20 flights, with at least eight of them being 10+ hours last year. I will like to share my experience with you today, hope it will make your next economy class flight more comfortable.
About choose the seat： Usually I can hardly sleep on planes, and I have a bad back, so I need to move around. For the flights under five hours, I prefer a window seat to enjoy the view and rest against the window. For flights over five hours, I opt for an aisle the seat. The airlines economy class seats are quite small, and the storage pocket in front is limited, so we have to make the most of every inch of space. You can buy a small bag, which can hold many things, such as headphones, a small spray, lip balm, medicine, sunglasses, a charging cable, earphones, and snacks. You can hang it on your clothes for easy access.
A key tip is to ask the cabin crews for the amenity kit which includes the eye mask, earplugs, etc. Also, ask for a blanket and a pillow. The pillow is a very important item for passengers. It can prevent your lower back from feeling uncomfortable during a long-haul flight.
Reading, Pease choose one book that you usually have no interest in reading but feel compelled to read for some reason. For example, in the last photo, my manager gave it to me a long time ago for me to study, but I’ve been too lazy to read it and couldn’t get into it. If you’re not sleepy at all, you can use reading to present yourself as someone who loves learning on the plane. This can also help you finish the book.
