Travelling in economy class on a long-haul flight does not tend to be celebrated in terms of comfort. There are, however, ways you can ease the journey. Firstly, bring a decent neck pillow and noise cancelling headphones or earplugs. Taking a book with you offers a classic form of entertainment.

The clothes you wear are also incremental- wear something soft. Beyond this, you can also consider booking a preferred seat and joining a frequent flyer program.
