- Long-distance flights can feel endless sometimes, especially after a vacation or when you're crammed in coach and traveling solo.

- 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.
