You’ll get extra leg room, one of the biggest bonuses of sitting in first class. Plus, no children are allowed to sit there!

]]> 81753 11492 0 Tip Search websites that give the inside scoop on your particular plane. The best seats can differ depending on the airline and make of the plane.

]]> 81754 11493 0 Step Make your own goodie bag Make your own first-class goodie bag, just like the ones those folks in first class get when they board. Include a travel size hand lotion, mouthwash, toothbrush, and toothpaste, plus a lip balm, a pack of tissues, an eye mask, a pair of warm socks, earplugs, and some mints.

]]> 81755 11494 0 Tip Airlines still have strict rules about carrying on liquids and gels, so make sure each container does not exceed the 3.4 oz maximum, and store it all in a clear, re-sealable, quart-sized plastic bag.

]]> 81756 11495 0 Step Pack a washcloth Pack a soft washcloth in a plastic bag so that, just before landing, you can ask the flight attendant to bring you a cup of hot water. Voila! Your own hot face towel.

]]> 81757 11496 0 Step Bring your own food Prepare a first class spread – macadamia nuts to munch on with your cocktail; a gourmet sandwich on crusty French bread; Gorgonzola and figs for your cheese course; and some chocolate-dipped strawberries for dessert. Tuck in a linen napkin, placemat, and some individually-wrapped hand wipes.

]]> 81758 11497 0 Step Carry a sweater Carry a sweater aboard. It’s usually a bit chilly on planes, even when traveling in the summer. And there won’t be a first class flight attendant rushing over with a blanket to keep you cozy.

]]> 81759 11498 0 Step Pack a pillow Invest in a plush neck pillow to make sleeping easier.

]]> 81760 11499 0 Tip If you don’t want to bring your own pillow, grab one (and a blanket) as soon as you board. Not unlike those life rafts on the Titanic, there are not enough for every passenger.

]]> 81761 11500 0 Step Bring reading materials Bring a variety of newspapers and magazines, fill out any crossword or sudoku puzzles in pen, and then stuff them in the seat pocket like a bonafide first-class passenger.

]]> 81762 11501 0 Step Use your own headphones Use your own headphones. The sets provided in coach may not be the best quality, and some airlines charge for them .

]]> 81763 11502 0 Step Bring electronics First class passengers might not have to strain their neck to watch the in-flight movie, but they’re still seeing the same film as the hoi polloi in coach. Do them one better and bring along a portable DVD player or a laptop so you can watch a movie of your choice on your own screen.

]]> 81764 11503 0 Step Wait to deplane Stay seated until everyone else has left the plane so you can exit in a civilized manner, like your compatriots in first class did moments earlier.

]]> 81765 11504 0 Fact First class passengers get about three times more oxygen per person than coach passengers, according to a study by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
