Have you ever been on a plane for a long time? With a little preparation, it can be a lot more comfortable. These tips may help you to be prepared

Siesta Key Timeshare Rentals and Sarasota Timeshare Rentals are all part of the package

Begin by reserving a good seat. Even within the same class and fare, some seats are far superior to others. Consider an aisle or exit row seat for legroom, or a window if you want to sleep.
Wear comfortable clothing. Choose something that will enable you to relax while sitting on the plane.
Wear comfortable shoes. Shoes that are easy to slip out of are ideal for airplanes. Wear socks, as you may do a bit of walking around, and your bare feet could get cold and the floors might not be clean.
Bring bottled water. This can be completely irrelevant or the difference between real misery and contentment. Turbulence, runway delays and sub-par flight attendants can leave you with a "stranded in the Sahara" feeling.
Bring something to entertain yourself. Usually, movies don't start for some time, and the built-in music selection can be quite poor. Some ideas: book, magazine, crossword, sudoku (see related wikiHows), playing cards, newspaper, video game, mp3 player, portable DVD player, work, Christmas Cards, etc.
Bring your own headphones. The headphones for purchase on the plane are quite poor quality and bad for your hearing. Noise-canceling headphones are great if you have them, but even standard headphones or earbuds will be a big improvement.
Minimize your carry-on luggage. One backpack is fine for the plane.
Bring a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, and anything else you need to help freshen up before meeting your loved ones at the end of your long flight. They, and your neighbors in-flight, will be glad you did. Avoid using the potable water in the washroom to brush your teeth. Instead use the provided bottled drinking water.
Consider bringing your own food on board if you care about taste or health. Generally plane food is quite poor.
Contact your airline in advance to find out if they still offer free meals and potentially request a special meal. Many airlines offer Vegetarian, Kosher, Halal and other "special meals" if you order two days in advance. And because the airlines have to specially prepare your meal, it is usually better than the standard food fare. If your airline doesn't offer a free meal, be sure to bring your own or buy one at the airport.
Move around. This is especially important on longer flights, to prevent your body from aching due to low circulation. Some airlines provide guidance on in-seat excercises you can do (such as circling ankles and stretching arms). The long mid-flight stretch on overnight flights is an excellent time to take a stroll up and down the aisle a few times.
If you are flying trans-oceanic or trans-continental, long naps are the best way to break up the tedium, so you'll want to stretch out--right? With a little luck and a lot of vigilence, you may be able to stretch out and nap. Keep your eyes on both the boarding passengers and the availability of empty, middle rows (in a pinch two empty seats in the aisles will make do). When the number of boarding passengers thins out to a sparse trickle, get ready. Once you see the flight attendants close the hatch, bolt for that empty row you've had been nervously eyeballing. Remember, there are the quick and the cramped.

Tips
Long flights can get quite cold at times. Bring an extra layer of clothing for warmth.
If you have a cold, bring a decongestent like psuedoephedrine (Sudafed) and chewing gum to help relieve pressure in your ears during takeoff and landing. Also, opening your mouth wide can help this, even if you don't have a cold.
If you intend to sleep on the flight, bring earplugs, eye shades, and sleeping pills.
The dry air in a plane will dehydrate your system. Bring a bottle of water with you on the plane, and request plenty of water from your endlessly accommodating flight attendant. It's also helpful to bring a small bottle of moisturizing lotion for your face and hands.
Don't worry about getting up to use the restroom often; the walking about will be good for the blood flow in your legs.
High quality noise-isolating (different from noise cancelling) headphones (such as ER-6 by Etymotic or Shure E3c) usually work best and can make a world of difference by reducing the plane noise to a mere background hum and allowing you to fall asleep to your music in a quiet environment. However, this type of headphone takes a while to get used to - do not purchase them specifically for the trip.
Seats next to emergency exits generally have more leg room. Try to request that you get a seat in the emergency exit aisle, unless you are travelling with children, who are not allowed to sit there.
If you have a strong fear of flying, you could ask your doctor for a benzodiazepine (valium/xanax). These will lower your anxiety levels.
If you tend to get airsick, bring a small bottle of Ginger Ale and a newspaper in your backpack, since drink service doesn't start right away. The ginger will help calm your stomach and so will the smell of the newspaper.
The best way to endure a flight is by sleeping through it entirely. If you can, take an early morning flight, and either get up absurdly early or stay up very late and try to board the plane very tired. You might wake up for snacks, but if you time it right, you'll awaken upon touch-down at your destination!
To relieve pressure in your ears, research the valsalva maneuver (holding your nose and blowing) beforehand and know how to perform it correctly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valsalva_maneouvre).
When you board the plane change your watch to the destination's time. If when you board it is night at your destination, try to sleep. Then force yourself to stay awake in flight during your destination's daylight hours. Upon arrival try to be outside to see the next sunset or dawn. Each of these things accelerates your acclimation to the new time zone. Light exercise also helps.

Warnings
If you take sleeping pills, be sure to use something that makes you drowsy but not "out". In case of emergency, the flight crew needs to be able to wake you quickly. Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) is a good option. Excedrin PM also works well and doesn't leave you drowsy.
