Tried and tested

Some suggestions

Clamp on headphones, wear a sleep mask, focus on breathing, meditate. Set the brain to zero, go into a trance. Carry your “comfort” pillow. Ask for extra blankets, fill space near the window. Snooze. Take along a manicure kit (minus sharp stuff, nail polish goes into transparent plastic). Give yourself a manicure. Apply a hair treatment. Take part in on-board bidding, shopping, anything the airline offers.

Fill “suggestion” booklets with long remarks. If it’s a business flight, get work done. Or loosen your belt and shoes, let down your hair and daydream. Break journey for airport tours. Don’t booze. A hangover will await you at the airport. A 12-hour flight across the globe can be a health event. You can eat carefully, do light exercise, sip liquids, slip into LOS (land of sleep) and emerge feeling refreshed.

Or you can walk down the chute muttering.
