Creator's Key Takeaways

Let's face it, nobody loves a longhaul economy flight.

I'm going to want to be nice and tipsy and relaxed.

Drink your booze, watch your films, and do what you can to enjoy the flight.

I actually enjoyed it and then had the bread roll, biscuits, and cheese and what I think was a tiramisu to finish.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Be careful about what flight you're booking, looking for daytime routes when possible.

✓Try to get as good a sleep the night before as you can.

✓Use your status perks to get faster check-in and lounge access.

✓When available, pay extra for the extra leg room seat.

✓Make the most of the time through entertainment or work.

✓Bring your own noise cancelling headphones or earphones.
