Re: Things to help a 24 hour flight go faster?
I do the US-Asia roundtrip 3-4 times a year.
Book the midnight flight to Asia so that you'll sleep right away. Most Asian flights offer the 12-2 AM takeoffs from L.A. or other west coast cities. Take melatonin starting 3 days before leaving and 3 after you arrive. This will help you sleep like a rock for 8-10 hours on the plane and also helps with jet lag when you arrive.
Bring a neck pillow and eye cover. This is a must. Also bring vaseline for your lips to avoid dry cracking, and lotion for your hands. Eye drops are nice too. I always bring a normal-size pillow in my carry-on for the flight.
Of course, bring the usual entertainment items.... laptop (with extra battery), ipod, magazines, etc.
