[quote=Anonymous]I tend to think about long trips in sections. There will be the getting settled time, the meals, the sleep, the watching, the reading, and the boring part. While its hard to sleep on the plane - I do bring ear plugs, eye shades and my travel pillow. I work to sleep after the dinner service and before we set down in the first location - this may not be a long time - maybe only 2 hours -but it can help upon arrival. They will dim the lights and keep things quiet which is the clue to sleep.

Choosing your seat - if you can - will help with the trip. Not near the kitchen or bathrooms would be my advice.

Think about ways to keep yourself busy when you are sleeping or watching. I like to bring a book to fill in the parts where there is nothing else to do.

In terms of traveling alone - if you have done CA 5 hours then its just double that. A long time to sit in an airplane but a pretty passive experience. I actually enjoy the downtime of flight where nothing is expected of me. [/quote]
