If you can afford it, an upgrade to business class will give you much more legroom and provide you larger and much comfy seats (not to mention the fine dining and other amenities).
Some airline companies include all the items you need for a good night’s sleep: pillow, blanket, socks, and even noise-canceling headphones. It is definitely worth it if you want to sleep until the flight lands.
#5 – Find a comfortable position
When you are flying in economy class finding a comfortable position is not an easy thing to do. Your best option is to recline the seat as far back as possible so that you can rest in a flat position that doesn’t put a lot of stress on your back. Don’t forget to be gentle and ask whoever is behind you if the reclined seat bothers them.
#6 – Choose the right outfit
Remember, it is just a flight. There is no need to dress up. Choose a comfortable outfit with layers so that you won’t get either too or hot or too cold, and avoid tight pants so as not to interfere with blood circulation. Sweatpants are a safe choice and are essential in long-haul flights.
#7 – Mimic your bedtime routine
If you are catching an overnight flight, you can trick your mind to fall asleep more easily by mimicking your bedtime routine.
Go to the plane’s bathroom to follow your regular hygiene habit and afterward do as you would do if you were at home: read a book, listen to music, watch a small episode of your favorite TV series (don’t forget to download it beforehand), meditate… it’s really up to you.
