flying sydney to LA in the middle seat without crying ✈️ long-haul flight hacks 

I've made the flight so many times. I try to keep carry luggage to a minimum. 1 back pack with toiletries, my laptop, a tablet with books and my cell phone. I'm not a fan of inflight entertainment so I have a few favourite movies and TV shows, ear phones and ear plugs. There are a few other things but most people don't use 90% of what they take on board. Always be considerate of mothers with children and if you can ask if you can help. Most will say no but they are ALWAYS thankful for the offer. Long haul flights are tough but for kids it can be a nightmare. Buy your coffee before you get on board. Airline coffee can be the pits.
