3. Choose your Flight Entertainment Wisely: There are many things you can do on a long flight. You can binge-watch television, work, read, listen to music, write your novel. So, make a list before you board, so you’re prepared. Charge all your devices. And make sure you rotate through those interests to keep you don’t tire yourself out and give yourself a headache. 
4. Sleep, Sleep, Sleep: Are you an overworked employee going to a new country every week trying to close another business deal? Are you a tired mother? Are you an exhausted student who hasn’t gotten their eight hours of sleep in the last year? Or are you a globe-trotter who wants to be ready to sightsee as soon as the plane hits the runway? Whoever you are, you probably need sleep. And the best way to get through a long flight is to catch up on it. Put in some earbuds or noise-canceling headphones and become dead to the world. Who is stopping you?
