replying to @travelskills @travelskills A6 Spacious, clean lavatories are universally appreciated. Considering everything I’ve noticed the one thing that I hate the most of all when flying are dirty lavatories. #TravelSkills

A6: A business class seat is the only "amenity" that improves a long-haul flight experience. #TravelSkills https://t.co/8ujXtT2PGa

But DO NOT bring curry dishes into an enclosed tube that flies at 36,000 feet for several hours. #TravelSkills #smellyfood #etiquette

A3 My @united flight from #hongkong to @flyLAXairport last year was a solid 15 or 16+ hours! But decompressing at the airport lounge before takeoff and keeping busy -- sleep, reading, catching up on shows, work, eating -- made it enjoyable! #TravelSkills

LOL yes definitely. I rarely see movies in theaters, planes are my only opportunity to see current flicks #travelskills https://t.co/yzSIXdyQWZ

Thanks for joining the #TravelSkills chat! Today, @united joins us to talk about long flights and how to make them fly by!

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A4 That would be expected in Economy. People want to be as comfortable as possible on longer flights. The key may be to find a way into the Premium Economy cabin through upgrades or buyup. #TravelSkills

replying to @JimByersTravel @JimByersTravel I wish they had @SIRIUSXM on planes! If so, I'd tune into my fave The Bridge :) Go boomers! #TravelSkills (or of course, 70s on 7 )

Put these earplugs on your list.
Right RT @cjmcginnis ?
@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.

A5: I still love the 747, but just because it is iconic and sexy as hell. I have enjoyed the 777, 787, A350 and A380. All depends upon seat configurations. Otherwise, they all feel the same to me #TravelSkills https://t.co/yNVLVgvx5t

@JohnnyJet Hot towels give me life during the flights. If you're kind to the flight attendants, you can get a few extra on request.

replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet Some airlines are better than others. I prefer @lufthansa and @British_Airways #TravelSkills

A6: Fave airplane amenities for long flights: Extensive entertainment library (critical!), comfy seats, good food and drink, space to move around and stretch. #TravelSkills

replying to @united @united Asked for them on two separate flights while I was in Polaris, didn’t have them onboard on either occasion so I stopped asking. #TravelSkills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis @SIRIUSXM I like the Bridge. And 70's on 7 is good. But I'm a 60's on 6 guy! Always enjoy Phlash Phelps talking about cities he's visited. #TravelSkills @siriusXM

replying to @united @united A7 I’m happy to report that United’s Polaris lounge at my hometown airport @FlySFO is the BEST of the bunch! Here’s my review: https://t.co/nhfOoFe1kF #TravelSkills

replying to @united @united A7 I haven’t been to any of United’s new Polaris lounges, but I hear they’re swanky! My faves for now are Qatar’s, Lufthansa’s and BA’s in LHR. #TravelSkills

A7: When it first opened, I loved the Amex Centurion lounge in DFW. I think Etihad Biz Class lounge in Abu Dhabi was as good as I've been in. #TravelSkills https://t.co/CNNGlyy5H3

RT @travelskills: Q7 Favorite airport lounge to prep for long-haul flights? #TravelSkills https://t.co/3XqmAl8fLa
cjmcginnis
replying to @united @united TIP Airport lounges are becoming overcrowded, esp during peak summer, so know that they might not allow one-time paid visits #TravelSkills
JohnnyJet
replying to @united @united TIP Certain credit cards will give you access to airport club lounges so do your research in advance. Also try @LoungeBuddy for prices. #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A5 I really find A380, A350 and 787 the best for managing humidity and noise. However, I'll always have a soft spot for the upper deck of the Queen of the Skies 747. #TravelSkills
