If you travel enough that economy is a rare (I.e post worthy) occurrence, you should already know all the tricks / tips to make is less painful by now.

It may also be post worthy because of the length of the flight. Just a thought

I used to work in aviation and fly in business for free, so I know the pain in losing those amenities in economy.. esp if you’re tall like me. (Doesn’t make u a spoiled brat @m1...jesus). What I started doing to make it more comfortable is to ensure I have an aisle seat for that open space & wear comfortable clothing.

Listen to a recording of a screaming baby for 20 minutes. After you stop it the flight will feel magical. When that wears off, bring back the screaming baby. :)
On a serious note, download some good movies on your iPad.

Valium (which I really do wish was over the counter in the US).

Realistically, sweatpants / joggers, slip on shoes, noise cancelling headphones and a drink or two should do the trick.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below
