4 ways to make your economy class flight more luxurious

Choose your seat wisely

If you choose your seats wisely, you can benefit from certain advantages by sitting in the right seat. You can choose an exit row or a seat with a divider for extra legroom. If you prefer a window seat, try to choose a seat at the front of the plane to make the ride smoother and get off faster upon arrival.

Take a comfort kit

Bring a few personal items that will make your trip more comfortable. A travel pillow and a blanket will help you relax and unwind during the flight. Noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs can block out the sounds in the cabin, allowing you to enjoy the silence. Don't forget to bring snacks and a reusable water bottle to keep hydrated and avoid paying high prices for food and drinks on board.

Dress comfortably

While you want to look your best while travelling, comfort should be your top priority. Choose breathable, stretchy fabrics that will keep you comfortable throughout the flight. Layering is key as the temperature on the plane can vary. Don't forget to bring a pair of comfortable socks to keep your feet warm.

Come up with some entertainment during the flight

Instead of relying on the airline's limited selection of movies and TV shows, bring your own entertainment. You can download movies, TV shows, or podcasts to your phone or tablet before your flight. Don't forget to bring a portable charger.
