replying to @JimByersTravel @JimByersTravel At least we had some upgrades on the flight :) And to be fair it included transfers #TRavelSkills

Not an airplane geek, but had a couple trips recently in Signature Service with Air Canada on their 787 Dreamlner. Yowza. Amazing service, great, lie-flat seats, fab food and much more. A5 #travelskills #AirCanada @AirCanada

A5. I don't have a favorite plane anymore. But I prefer to work older planes. Newer planes...don't even get me started. #TravelSkills

replying to @united @united A6 Foam earplugs don’t cut out enough sound for me to sleep well in flight. I use Mack’s moldable silicone earplugs. Work like magic. #TravelSkills

replying to @culinarytravel @culinarytravel I don't know about worse but the best is Rimowa-I swear by them. Lightweight, can fit a lot and fit in overhead and takes a beating. @RIMOWA #travelskills #secretsanfrancisco #talkintravel

A1 A long haul #flight can have its perks, like catching up on shows I'm binging on! Up next: the new season of @BoschAmazon! @welliver_titus #TravelSkills

replying to @united @united TIP I change into a long-sleeve cotton T-shirt on long haul flights, then change back into a nicer shirt before we land #TravelSkills

A6: Champagne, lie-flat beds, stellar service, great food, amazing movie and TV selection, etc. #travelskills
JohnnyJet
replying to @united @united TIP Bring comfortable clothes (I bring sweats or PJs) to change into once the plane has taken off. Then change back to street clothes before landing. #TravelSkills
StopJetLag
Certainly makes sleeping at the optimal times specified in your #StopJetLag Plan easier!

@united
TIP I love United’s recently retrofitted 767s cuz they are almost all Polaris business class.
46 lie-flat seats

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A3 DXB to SFO would be my longest non stop flight. I'm sure many didn't know @united flies some of the longest in the world with 787s. #TravelSkills

Premium to Shanghai was nearly the same as economy for our upcoming trip #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills I'll definitely say that I was impressed that @AmericanAir gave free earbuds out to us a month ago on a flight from SFO to DFW. Helped because so many of us don't have the correct jacks to plug in anymore! #TravelSkills

Only to be made worse if the person next to me brings their own food with raw onions or something equally as pungent #TravelSkills

replying to @united @united TIP Bring your own LARGE bottle of water from the airport. You will be glad you did, and so will your flight attendant. #TravelSkills

Great movie choices are a must on long-haul trips. Speaking as a Boomer, I find the music on most airlines is awful, so I stick to my iphone for music. I find the TV shows are pretty bad, too. Big Bang I’ve never found remotely funny. Mostly movies for me. A6 #travelskills
