I make sure I have videos on my tablet and books too.

Not that it should even matter! I hate planes with the 3-seat arrangement because John always wants the window and I always want the aisle - the window (as pretty and fun as it may be) is like my worst nightmare. I'd rather sacrifice the fun, coziness of the window seat and the ability to lean my head on something to sleep for the knowledge that I can get up and pee ANY TIME I WANT.

My absolute nightmare is not an aisle seat. Funnily enough I just went to the docs today to talk about compression stockings and I'm definitely going to use them. I also recommend a useful prescription to keep you calm on the plane... another need from the doctor today!! <br /><br /><a href="http://jasmincharlotte.com" rel="nofollow"> Jasmin Charlotte </a>Jasmin Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342501606667667183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743876470050160495.post-29438867105807603672016-10-31T11:20:53.099+00:002016-10-31T11:20:53.099+00:00Thanks so much, Eire!

They are so uncool, but I love not having to deal with swollen, puffy feet and ankles on the other side and also not being paranoid about DVT! You should totally go for it (warning: they are such a rip-off - ugh).

I have to say, I've been toying with the idea of compression socks for a long time (like you, American in London = multiple yearly long-haul flights to the US) but have yet to bite the bullet and get some. Will now do with your recommendation!

I've also had a 'Plane' Playlist on my iPod for years now and it's especially good for night flights when i don't want to be surprised with some Metallica or Queens while I'm trying to sleep haha.
