Okay so this is not so much a why we do it, but ‘how to do it’.<\/p>\n

I certainly don’t feel I live an extravagant lifestyle, but nobody would call me conservative either…not even close, but when it comes to travel on an airline I fall hard towards conservative.<\/p>\n

I travel a lot!\u00a0 In fact in the past ten days I have been to Cincy, St. Louis, Toronto, NYC, LaPorte and Culver, IN and Monday I am flying to Melbourne for a 48 hour stay.\u00a0 I always fly Coach and never pay to upgrade seating, and here is why. To upgrade my flight to Australia it would cost and ADDITIONAL $9,000. Heck for $9,000 I would give up my aisle seat and stand-up to and from Melbourne.<\/p>\n

So it is always Coach, and on long flights the key secrets is sleep.\u00a0 You gotta sleep at the right times, so you don’t get blasted with layover-hangovers.\u00a0 You fall asleep at the right time so that you wake up on their time. Which means Monday night I need to fall asleep at 3:00am (Tuesday morning) my time to get a good nights sleep and wake up at 6:30am their time.\u00a0 Besides fighting to stay up until 3:00am, there are a few keys, with the most important being the water bottle.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Isle seat.\u00a0 Gotta have at least stretching room in one vertical direction<\/li>\n
  2. Pull the bag from under the seat in front of you so you can extend legs<\/li>\n
  3. Give up worrying about the person behind you and lean the seat back<\/li>\n
  4. Water bottle behind the neck.\u00a0 Yep a water bottle.\"Slide1\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This little bottle is made for comfort.\u00a0 Leave it between 1\/2 and 2\/3 full of water, and place it behind your neck, cold or warm.\u00a0 It keeps you from dropping your head on top of the person’s head who is already on your shoulder, drooling on your shirt.\u00a0 I personally like the mold of Poland Springs.\u00a0 Fits my neck perfectly.\u00a0 And bonus, when you wake up you don’t have to ask for a glass of water.\u00a0 Kinda warm, but hey, it’s your warm.<\/p>\n

    Give it a shot on your next flight.\u00a0 Really.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
