replying to @travelskills @travelskills A6 I can sleep almost anywhere. I sleep like a baby on planes. #TravelSkills

That's a great view!
Absolutely loved seeing Sydney from the air and spotting the Opera House.
A dream come true @Australia

replying to @Travellersoul76 @Travellersoul76 @Australia I loved Melbourne, Sydney less so. I'd go back to NZ in a heartbeat. Oz. maybe not. I have too much of the world yet to see #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills #TravelSkills A6) Do it all the time. Helps to have the lie-flat seat, but even without, I can doze off if in a window seat. Rest your head against the wall and goodnight!

replying to @CaitlinKellyNYC @CaitlinKellyNYC @travelskills I'm 100% aware of that and very grateful when it has happened. I don't expect it nor do I ever ask for it even though many in my situation do. #TravelSkills

replying to @AndreaFeczko @AndreaFeczko Sleeping for 8 hours is quite a challenge for many of us. 😶 #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A4 Ha! Australia is the only continent I haven't visited, but my husband has. He went to a Boy Scout Jamboree in the late 1980s. So, between us, we've hit all 7. #travelskills

replying to @Australia @Australia TIP When flying to Asia or Australia, it’s best to take the late night or wee hour departure for better sleep on the plane #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A6: sleep on planes? hahaha not possible. I just mentally prepare going in that I won't be comfortable enough to sleep. #TravelSkills

A5: Prefer one long haul so I can get uninterrupted sleep. I experienced some gorgeous #sunrise and #sunset on my recent long haul flights. And No Jet Lag always helps me too! #travelskills #traveltips #travel

replying to @KirstenAlana @KirstenAlana @travelskills Seriously. I've been pitching a fantastic exclusive story in France and people just snicker at the fantasy I shld be sent from NY (even w fluent French.) It's very disheartening. #travelskills

A6 Sleeping on planes? It's all abt making yourself comfortable (and maybe getting some medicinal help). I need blanket, water, head rest, and window seat! #TravelSkills https://t.co/Qs4duHqYv9

A6: I'm pretty lucky that for most flights I sleep easily. However, if you struggle sleeping, I would recommend downloading a @dearestscooter podcast episode before your flight. I literally fell asleep listening to a bedtime story in less than 15 minutes! #TravelSkills

My new tactic in coach is to sleep with my head resting on the seat back tray. This is dumb and embarrassing but also works and you'll never see these people again. #travelskills @ShermansTravel https://t.co/wdhbU5O4L5

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A6 I have got better at it over the years. good eye mask and ear plugs help. And being in Business/First. Obvs. 🤣🤣🤣 #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A6 It doesn’t matter how awesome your seat is, you will never sleep as well on any plane as you would on the ground. #TravelSkills

replying to @AndreaFeczko @AndreaFeczko @cjmcginnis Thanks! As many work trips as we've been on, we feel like we've got our airplane amenity kit down. #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A6 sleeping on planes is a pain in 6’2 so always get the end of the plane or at the front at the sides for extra leg room. #TravelSkills

It’s a great way to recover after a busy vacation. Just make sure not to consume caffeine before boarding and wear something comfy! #travelskills https://t.co/8N56RK6sVf

replying to @AndreaFeczko @AndreaFeczko @TravelLeisure @Qantas @travelskills The assignment was partially to promote Qantas and it's First Class offering so that's why it happened. It has not happened a lot in my career and I am VERY grateful when it does happen. #TravelSkills

replying to @BCpostergirl @BCpostergirl @travelskills It would just be the perfect way to combat jet lag! LOL #TravelSkills

replying to @Travellersoul76 @Travellersoul76 @Australia They would not allow me into the cockpit, so I said, "How about you take my camera?" And they did! #TravelSkills

A5: Single long haul is what I prefer. Even just going to Europe, I'd rather fly from the US west coast for a few hours extra rest. The 6-hour crossings from JFK are brutal. #TravelSkills

replying to @guttersniper @guttersniper @ShermansTravel I don't even try anymore. Unless it's a VERY long flight I know I won't sleep and it's too frustrating to try and fail LOL #travelskills

A6 I sleep on planes fine when alone but my husband is 6'4 and takes up 1/2 my seat. 😳🙄 #travelskills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A2: Of my two most recent trips I can say ANA had good movie options while American Airlines' options were lacking (what was online wasn't actually on the aircraft). Have high hopes for Virgin Atlantic later this year #TravelSkills

@guttersniper @ShermansTravel @JohnnyJet @laurenvdana #Coffee ☕ please!
It's one of the first things I get after arriving and dropping bags off.
Then go for a marathon walk around the city 🙋
Will be sleeping earlier and get used to the time at destination!
