What to wear for international flights
The long-haul flight is a special beast. Anytime you are strapped into a metal tube with hundreds of random people for eight, ten, fourteen, or more hours, there are special considerations to make.

Long Flight Comfort Update 2
Winners and Losers Seat Cushion—loser 🙁 Again, I think this could be useful but because I got to lie down across four seats on the flight from Tokyo to Manila I did not need it. So I guess maybe it’s not really a loser, just not a winner? Travel blanket—loser 🙁 Maybe it’s because Japan…
