What's Your Comfy-in-Coach Secret?

February 2, 2009 at 5:02 PM | by egw | 2 Comments

Normally, we would just ignore any helpful tips aimed at making a flight in coach more comfortable. How much better is it going to get with a miniscule seat pitch in a middle seat? Anyone who promises a spa-like experience in economy is puffed up with more hot air than a SkyRest.

Yet there must be a better way to prepare yourself for a spine-bending trip in the air besides picking your seat and "pack[ing] your own entertainment." (Does anyone flying today not know to bring something to do? Really?) We will concur with the eye mask though -- it's dorky, but nothing works better when you're trying to sleep on a plane brighter than Virgin America's nightclub decor.

When it comes to making your next flight at least tolerable, what's your favorite trick?

    Multiple sweatshirts or jackets

    I swear by it. On the off chance I'm not freezing, they make a nice pillow. Saves room in luggage, too.

    so many!

    i swear by a big ole scarf. even in the summer because it can get so cold on the planes. i also bring my own plane socks. that sounds weird but i have these comfy cushy neon green socks that i use.

    i take an eye mask on longer trips because it helps me sleep. also, i never ever fly a red-eye. i try to avoid it if i can because it messes me up for days afterwards. its impossible to sleep on those flights!
