Long Haul Flight Survival Tips

When I flew to Sydney (leaving from Newark, flying to LA with a short layover), I found that the trip was bearable by arranging my time on the plane the way I normally would, during a typical day. e.g. - put on pajamas/sweats and brushed teeth prior to bedtime, before bedtime, ate dinner and watched a movie/read a book, the following "morning" changed into different clothes, etc. etc.

I also flew business economy or whatever it's called, so it was far less expensive than regular business class or first class.
 
I have flown SFO-Dubai twice 16-17 hours non stop and connected onwards. Longest total travel time was 27 hours (3 hour layover in Dubai). Thank goodness for lie flat business class.
Heading to India next month on Emirates again, 16 hour flight, 3 hour layover, then another 3 hours to Mumbai.
I am not a fan of slippers. I want real soles on my feet before I walk into an airplane toilet!
