You may notice that a lot of first-class passengers wear heels and suits, well, many of them change into cozier clothing soon after boarding. So make sure to plan this part before takeoff. For even a smoother flight, consider packing luxe pajamas or chic athletic wear.

You can actually pay for airline lounge access no matter which seat number you have. The ability to eat, drink, and take a shower before a flight or during a layover will certainly make you feel like a VIP. For discounted prices, consider mobile apps, like Lounge Buddy or Priority Pass.
