Flying in Economy? Here Are 4 Easy Ways to Make Your Flight More Comfortable
05.01.2024 - 18:41 / afar.com
Welcome to your economy-class seat: 28 inches of legroom and a whopping 16-inch span between your armrests. There’s nothing like the thrill of finding a great airfare deal on an international flight, but after eight-plus hours in your designated 28 x 16-inch space, you might start scheming up ways to make your next long-haul flight more comfortable.
Economy class doesn’t have to mean a down-market experience, though. Some of the extraordinary perks that come along with a first- or business-class ticket—comfortable sleeping conditions, thoughtfully planned meals, and healthful amenities—can be re-created back in economy. Whether you’ve got an exit row seat, the dreaded middle seat, an aisle seat, or the scenic window seat, these tips can help you hack your way to a comfy flight, even all the way back in Seat 39B.
Fasten your seat belt, this bumpy ride is about to get a makeover, thanks to these essential long-haul flying tips you should keep in mind.
The Turtl pillow is unconventional, but for many people, it’s more comfortable than traditional travel neck pillows.

Don’t have the budget for a lie-flat seat in business class? Here’s one of our favorite travel tips:Put your feet up anyway by packing an airplane foot hammock, a padded footrest that elevates your feet a few inches off the ground. Those few inches can truly help alleviate back pain, leg swelling, and stiffness. The straps loop around the metal arms of your seat tray, and you can adjust them up or down to find the most comfortable height for you. After all, getting any shut-eye on your flight can help cut down on jet lag as you pass through time zones. Another perk of using an airplane foot hammock: It helps cut down on the risk of deep vein thrombosis, or DVT—blood clots that can be caused by long periods of sitting. All the more reason to pack this handy air travel gadget into your personal item.
Try the travel pillow that 18,000+ Amazon reviewers have been raving over. The Trtl Pillow wraps around your neck like a scarf, but when secured with a Velcro closure, an internal support mechanism keeps your head cradled in an ergonomic position. No more accidentally slumping on your neighbor’s shoulder or jerking awake with a stiff neck, thanks to this neck pillow. We love this clever design that keeps your head upright.
If you have trouble snoozing anywhere but in complete darkness, bring along a silky soft eye mask, like this comfy one from Slip. Then take comfort to the next level and dab a few drops of Vitruvi Organic French Lavender under your nose or on the outside of the mask; the essential oil will relax you and may help fight germs, too, thanks to lavender’s purported antimicrobial properties. All you have to
