A pair of lightweight smartwool socks in your purse or pocket can come in handy if you get a chill. And Marcie was right on about the ear plugs, I always carry them with me no matter what mode of transport I use for travel. They can save your sanity with coughing people and screaming children.

I found that if I eat very little on a flight and drink only water, I feel so much better when I get to my destination. But everyone is different.

Long flights can make you a bit anxious or stressed at times. You might want to ask your Dr. for a couple of low milligram Xanax to relieve any stress.
