I've done plenty of transatlantic and transpacific flights.
My advice:
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Even if there isn't a flight attendant running a beverage service, you can always walk to the galley and get some water.
- Speaking of walking, WALK. Walk to the lavatory, walk to the galley, walk around the cabin. If you sit still, you risk DVT - blood clots in your legs. The last time I flew transpacific, this fact was actually part of the safety lecture.
- Be sure your passport doesn't expire in the next 6 months. Some countries will not accept a passport with an imminent expiration date. (Of course, you can't exactly renew your passport with the current government shutdown, but that's a whole other animal.)
- If you have the time while in London, treat yourself to tea at the Ritz. They have a strict dress code (no sneakers, no jeans, jacket and tie required for men) but it's worth the experience.
