How to Make a Long Flight More Bearable

According to Mina Gough, spa director, and Mary Robertson, yoga instructor, at The Standard Hotel, Miami Beach

Find the Upside (Really)

Instead of seeing a flight as a hassle, look forward to having time for things you might not let yourself do on a regular day -- like take a tech "detox" from e-mail and the like, or enjoy a power nap.

Do In-Flight Yoga

Try clasping your hands and lifting your palms up toward the ceiling, giving yourself a stretch from the waist up. Or extend your legs under the seat in front, pointing and flexing your toes while squeezing your quadriceps. Later, try a twist: Hold on to one armrest and turn your torso, head, and neck; stretch your eyes, too, in the sockets, as though you were trying to see behind you. Then do the other side.

Skip the Beverage Cart

Bring a sachet of herbal tea, and pack a supplement like Oz Garcia's Brain Enhancement or YogaEarth's Coconut Water Purity. They come in packets, so when you're given a cup of water, you can add a boost of nutrients and electrolytes.
