Going on holiday should be fun and relaxing, so don't let a long-haul flight ruin your experience before it even begins. Even if you're stuck in economy for over 12 hours, time can pass quickly and fuss-free if you plan ahead. Do some homework on the in-flight amenities, and pack a few handy essentials such as the following, to help you survive your long-haul flight.
5. Prepare your own entertainment
Sure, planes on long flights are well-stocked with popular movies, TV series, music and even games. But would they definitely have your favourite movie that always puts you at ease, or that drama you’ve been meaning to catch up on? Having your own selected entertainment ready is handy to pass the time, especially if you can’t sleep. Download some movies or drama episodes onto your laptop or tablet, and your favourite songs on your phone. Or use the time to read that book sitting on your shelf. Audiobooks are also perfect if the overhead lights are switched off and your eyes hurt too much to look at things.
