If you’re not in the aisle seat and need to wake someone up, wake them up. This doesn’t make you rude or a bad person!
Get to the airport early-early if you can. No need to add additional stress to your trip.
Someone here suggested packing a couple days early to reduce stress.
Some people love a neck pillow.
Bring an empty water bottle to fill after going thru airport security
Keep your seatbelt on, loosened a little, so any turbulence won’t feel scary
Maybe think about how wonderful it is to be able to travel so far so quickly.
Flying is annoying and uncomfortable, and it also is safe!

This is unpopular but I will always choose the 6am flight
1. You’re less likely to be delayed
2. People aren’t rude and cranky - most people spend the flight sleeping
3. Get there early
4. No airport traffic
5. You get to tell all the flight attendants good morning, which is a proper greeting

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
