18 Long Flight Tricks You Need to Be Using (The Flight Attendant Way)

Twenty years of ten, twelve and fourteen-hour flights, most of them right through the night — and these are the 18 long flight tricks crew actually use. Why your seatbelt goes on top of the blanket, how to tell crew before you sleep, the shape of every long flight and the exact moment to fall asleep, the one bag that comes out of the bin, how to get an empty row, the headrest wings nobody uses, the two-thirds neck pillow, the two-prong headphone adapter, the window nest, how to recline the crew way, the hidden footrest, the cabin temperature you can ask about, what to do if your phone falls into the seat, flight pyjamas, the night galley, how to stand up without waking anyone, two arrival cards and a pen, and how to pack up before the descent. 00:00 The seatbelt over the blanket 00:38 #1 The seatbelt goes on top 01:33 #2 Tell crew before you sleep 02:28 #3 The shape of the night 03:31 #4 One bag out of the bin 04:24 #5 The empty row 05:25 #6 The headrest wings 06:09 #7 The two-thirds pillow 07:01 #8 The two-prong adapter 07:53 #9 The window nest 08:42 #10 Recline the right way 09:27 #11 The hidden footrest 10:14 #12 A degree or two 11:06 #13 If your phone falls in the seat 12:00 #14 The flight pyjamas 12:49 #15 The night galley 13:40 #16 Don't grab the seat in front 14:20 #17 Two cards and a pen 15:04 #18 Pack up before the descent Rules, seats and cabin service differ between airlines and aircraft — always check with your airline and follow crew instructions.
