1. Raise the handrail.

Raising the armrest of your seat is a clever trick that makes passenger seating space on an airplane feel more spacious. Because it's not recommended, the armrests of aisle seats can usually only be raised using a "secret" button located underneath, near the hinge.

2. Watch movies on your phone or tablet.

Economy class seats typically don't come with TV screens. If you want to relax on a long flight, you can use plastic bags or find ways to hang your phone or tablet at eye level to watch movies.

3. Do not place handbags or backpacks on the floor.

Most airline passengers carry a small bag or backpack with them and place it under their feet. Maximize the space so you can comfortably stretch and bend your legs.

4. Wear headphones to avoid being disturbed.

A pair of headphones with good noise cancellation will make you feel more comfortable and relaxed. Immersing yourself in your own musical space without fear of being disturbed is the best way to kill time.

5. Make your own back support pillow.

There's no need to spend money on pillows sold on airplanes; a jacket or scarf can be used instead. Simply fold it up and place it behind your back for the most comfortable sitting position.

6. Bring snacks.

Many types of snacks can provide immediate stress relief or reduction, such as apples, cashews, or yogurt.

7. Equip yourself with an eye mask.

Many people believe that eye masks help us get a deeper sleep. Wearing an eye mask also helps to minimize unnecessary disturbances from the person sitting next to us.

8. Drink enough water.

Your body will dehydrate faster when you're on an airplane. So, drink water frequently, especially on long flights.

9. Take off your shoes.

Taking off stiff, tight shoes is a simple way to feel more comfortable on a plane. If possible, board the plane in flip-flops or whatever is most comfortable for you.

10. Neck support pillow

Some types of neck pillows have been improved and become more useful, despite their somewhat odd shapes. Users can adjust the pillows to use them in various ways, creating a comfortable sleep.
