For the past several years I have been fortunate enough to be able to fly business class on my long haul trips. However, I recently found myself in a position where this just wasn’t an option and instead had the conundrum of trying to figure out how to survive a long Flight in economy instead.

I flew economy for many years (and still do on short haul flights), but I traded up for my long Haul Flights a while ago now and honestly, I love it. Travel is my chosen luxury in life and I really enjoy and look forward to the whole flying experience now it is so comfortable, even as much as the holiday itself.

I was therefore a little hesitant as to how this was going to go. I decided to hedge my bets and go with two strategies to make my flight as pleasant as possible; pretend there is no real difference with flying business and prepare for everything.

The latter worked as well as it could (when in doubt, always prep well I say) and the former, well….I think I semi deluded myself until I saw my seat. As someone who struggles to sit still at the best of times, I am really not a fan of being in close proximity to that many people, especially for an extended period of time.
