The first thing I like to do is sleep as little as possible the night before I fly, this way when I get on a plane hoping to go to sleep and wake up where I am going. I recommend this only if you are able to perform many tasks that you need to do before your flight. If you have to drive for the first 5 hours, you may want to get a good night's sleep, and maybe take Tylenol pm or something to keep you awake. Most people like to get a little drunk on the plane, I am not one of them, but if it helps you to relax and sleep a little and I say go, do not let yourself get drunk until you get there. Disgusting drunk on the plane.
My next tip is to arrive at the airport 3 hours in advance, this is for 2 reasons. By the time I get there, I am always the one, or I am not the first to really get on my plane, which usually gets me a good seat, and I don’t have to wait in long lines. Another reason to stay at the Airport, at least 3 hours before your flight is that, if you arrive early you cannot roll over on the plane, people arrive at the last minute here are words spelled out.
Things to pack in your life:
In case I try to avoid putting things under the plane, but sometimes it is inevitable, depending on how long I will be traveling. A flight attendant can make the big difference between having a good flight and being incredibly bored until you go crazy.
Every time I make sure I bring a full MP3 player, my MP3 player holds 20 music gigs so, I don't have to crawl into my bag to get a CD or memory card, and I have a lot of music to listen to at the moment. Listen to it. This way I have music for any mood I might be in, so I just upload and listen as I fall asleep on the plane.
Just in case I can't sleep I will also make sure I have a book, if for any reason I can not sleep what happened to me, I like to clear my mind of things by getting lost in a good story, but there is a simple and fun, I have always found a good action book or Science Fiction ready for that.
I also recommend bringing a soft, thick jersey with you on the plane, this can be used when it is cold on the plane, or you can use it as an extra pillow.
I love playing video games, so I go with one of the new hand-held video games wherever I go, so if I'm not in a learning environment I can play some games and keep myself busy, and that's really the key. Keep busy on the plane, and you will be amazed at how fast the plane is going, if you stare at the clock and focus on the flight's progress it will be heard forever.
