Three flights, 24 hours, and 9,000 miles - here's how I endured it.

  • Long-distance flights can feel endless sometimes, especially after a vacation or when you're crammed in coach and traveling solo.
  • I traveled with United Airlines from Guam to New York with stops in Honolulu and Houston. Including layovers, my total travel time was about 24 hours.
  • I figured out how to make this trek more bearable by not relying on the airline to feed me, entertain me, or make me feel comfortable. I brought my own food, entertainment, and a comfy neck pillow.
  • I also used the extra time during my layovers to walk around, making sitting still on a long flight much easier.
  • Here's how I endured 24 hours of travel.
