  • A well-packed carry-on bag is a must-have for any medium-haul journey. With several hours up your sleeve, you'll probably long for something to keep you amused while in the air. We suggest a good book (or trashy magazine), and something to nibble on.

  • Flexibility isn't just useful for your yoga. Avoid locking in your travel dates so you can pick up cheaper airfares when a big sale drops.
  • Look for a budget carrier that has seats in business class. They usually come with extra legroom and a glass of Champagne — and a more affordable price.
  • Take advantage of your airline's loyalty scheme and use points to upgrade your seat. You can also bid for an upgrade in online auctions.
