Smart Hacks To Survive Long-Haul Flights

Baby on Board

So you might want to sit far away from the partitions. Parents have no choice but to set their bassinets there, so steer clear of them.

It Doesn’t Hurt to Ask About Seats Again

Asking doesn’t hurt. It could be the difference between you getting cramped and you getting an exit seat with plenty of legroom. If you’re lucky, you might even score yourself an empty row.
