WHILE a holiday to somewhere hot and far away can be tempting, many may be put off by the long flight.
And travel experts have revealed some of the big mistakes you could be making on long-haul flights – and how to avoid them.

Even if you want to look nice on the plane, you might want to opt for comfy clothes over stylish ones.
Phil Dengler, co-founder of The Vacationer told Yahoo: "Since you will be sitting in the same seat for six or more hours, it is essential to be as comfortable as possible.”

And there is nothing worse than being on a long flight with nothing else to eat.
Phil explained: "I always bring my own snacks on long-haul flights, and I have never regretted it.
"Food options can be limited, so this guarantees I will be able to eat what I want and when I want."
